You haven't spent much time playing any of the LEGO Media titles, have you?
Minifigs regularly fly apart (the opening sequence in LEGO Island features
a yellow head bouncing out of a LEGO ambulance, the driver chasing it down,
and chucking it back into the ambulance).
So has anyone noticed the previews of LEGO Racers and LEGO Rock Raiders at
Game Spot? <http://www.gamespot.com/driving/legorace/index.html> and
<http://www.gamespot.com/strategy/legorock/index.html>.
The writer (I'm guessing) is missing some of the finer points of
virtual-building, LEGO Media-style. Unless LEGO Racers allows better
building than LEGO Island did. And I wonder what engine they are using?
The Racers screenshots look very reminiscent of Tonic Trouble.
