Audience Interpretation - lego movie game reviews/interpretations  (PS4) Review/interpretation  Fun graphics and atmosphere (colourful and busy) Nice animations  Witty and humorous (appropriate for kids and adults) Very easy puzzles Some levels are fun whilst others are boring  Sometimes in trying to press a switch, it isn't responsive (this contrasts with other lego games) (Wii) Review/interpretation  Unsurprising the game came out considering how common movie games are, and lego games (as forms of cross promotion?)
