For one thing, the button buried in the menus and is extremely small. Although there is a method for sorting your bricks, it can be extremely unintuitive, especially given the audience Universe is aiming for. It also does an excellent job of recreating the frustration of sifting through a bucket of blocks in search of something specific. If you love the creative aspects of real LEGO, then LEGO Universe does quite a good job of recreating that sensation without ruining your fingers on the sharp corners. It's all isolated to the confines of your property, but you can allow other players to walk in and inspect your creations. Models and bricks can have behaviors placed on them, such as exploding on contact, moving when activated, or spawning health, armor, imagination or enemies. They can be moved and colored after they're placed if need be, and once you've crafted a model, you can move it as a whole or break it back down.

Building is a pretty simple task of choosing the block and slapping it wherever it fits. There are also pre-made models that can be used as-is, or broken down into their base blocks. The blocks can be used on your claimed property to build literally whatever you want. I have well over three thousand blocks in total - probably closer to four. As it stands right now, I have over 720 different kinds of blocks.


Play The build mode is LEGO Universe's second biggest strength.
