Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars – 2011 (PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, DS, 3DS, PSP)
LEGO Star Wars III featured characters and missions from the popular Clone Wars series, and it really amped things up for the series. Some sequences saw you taking part in absolutely massive battles, with nearly 100 characters on screen at once. It was also one of the fist titles to feature a co-op system where the screen adapted to player’s proximity to each other.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game – 2011 (PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, DS, 3DS, PSP)
LEGO added another huge series to their repertoire when they adapted the swachbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean series. Suprisingly, it was also the first LEGO title based off of a Disney movie. It didn’t do much to change up the series’ gameplay formula, but managed to stay just as hilarious as the rest.
Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 – 2011 (PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita)
Traveler’s Tales continued the story of Harry Potter with years 5-7, which ended up having nearly as much content as the previous game. Once again, the title didn’t do much to differentiate itself with gameplay, but luckily it was packed with content and options.
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes – 2012 (PC, PS3, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, DS, 3DS, Vita)
LEGO Batman 2 didn’t just tell a new Batman story, but featured a ton of characters from the Justice League as well. It once again featured an entirely original story that worked in a wide array of heroes and villains. Batman 2 also set two huge milestones for the video game franchise, as it was the first to featured voice acting and an explorable open world design.
Lego Lord of the Rings – 2012 (PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, DS, 3DS, Vita)
Just to finish off their list of the biggest series around, LEGO adapted the three Lord of the Rings films into a gaming experience. Each character in the title has specific skills that can be used to uncover new areas or solve puzzles, and the game is a little more combat heavy than others. Although it still contains the serious story of Lord of the Rings, Traveler’s Tales still found some smart ways to work in their trademark humor.
