I cannot explain it for everyone else, but the reason to me that the Lego video game franchise are fun is that the games to not take the franchises seriously and inject humor into it. With serious franchise such as Star Wars
its a welcomed reprieve from the convoluted plots the most recent Star Wars games ::cough::Force Unleased::cough::; But for a series that is well known for being a comedy, I personally and not sure how exactly that would play out if they Lego-ized it.
Plus, it is just fun defeating enemies and watching them explode into Lego Pieces
.Legos were my Sim City before I actually discovered Sim City. Build large, detailed objects and then DESTROY IT!…so ya
destroying things iz fun
