LEGO Universe gameplay footage full of 'imagination'

We're impressed by how much this game looks similar to its console brethren, especially where action and platforming elements are concerned. Of course, it wouldn't be an MMO without social elements, some of which we get to see here. More importantly, we get a look at how the developers are handling building with LEGOs in-game. The game simulates a kind of personal bubble around the player's avatar, which is strikingly similar to the metaphorical one all kids experience when sitting on the floor with a big pile of the toys. Hm, we're pretty sure NetDevil is on the right course with this one.
Check out the video walkthrough after the break.

this video explains building your own objects and assigning behaviors to them. For example, building your own airplane that can fly around from scratch. This game looks awesome!!!

Maybe a small thing but I like the moderation part, hopefully that means we won't have to see too many dick-rockets, or penis-mobiles..

I'm 27, and I think i am falling in love with this game! I had my doubts about how well they would implement this idea, but it looks like they have used and enhanced the Lego games technology to a whole new level.

When I first heard "Lego MMO" the only thing I thought was "Great, more kiddy games on the market..." But now...now I want this game out ASAP!
Just when i didn't think there could be anything really new to the MMO genre LEGO delivers! After watching the trailer and these vids, I can quite honestly say I'm more excited to see more about this title than even SWTOR...sad? Probably, but hey, it's LEGO!

I'd have to say I'm pretty impressed by the video. Hopefully they can continue with this to make it a solid mmo.

Looks pretty dull to me, to be honest, but my kids are hugely excited about this game.

It seems heavily moderator dependent, how big of team do you think they'll need to keep wait times down when it goes live?
