As all gamers know, LEGO is big business having created successful games out of franchises like Batman, Star Wars and, of course, Indiana Jones. Well now it's venturing into MMO territory (yes we're also trying to get our heads around it too) with NetDevil's LEGO Universe. The company has just revealed a few screenshots showing character customisation and three of the sets (focusing on pirates, space and ninjas) but for fans of the console games this may very well be the MMO for you. LEGO Universe is scheduled to be released on PC in 2010 and does seem to capture everything we loved about the bricks in a game, whether it pays off as an MMO remains to be seen. To judge for yourself, check out all the images here.

Believe it or not, I'm actually really excited about this game.
The little kid inside should never go away and I feel like LEGO's we're the spark of my childhood.
Granted I'm not THAT old, being only 21, I still feel this would definitely give me lots of interest! Looking forward to hearing more about it.

I did play with lego when I was a kid, building superhero HQ and robots that did look a lot like the ones of Power Rangers. I did play some lego games like Starwars/Batman. Most of this lego theme games are a lot of fun for some time and later you just get bored of it! This LEGO Universe screenshots look a lot like all the other lego games and still not can think how this will work like a mmo...

Given that this is Lego, I really hope NetDevil is using this opportunity to create a world full of custom user content. The strength of Legos are the usability and the the freedom of imagination; something that I suspect Lego understands. If they are able to translate those to the MMO world it will be amazing.
