Another Lego game.... when will it stop??? I played the demo for this with my girlfriend and while it's still the same old shit as in every other Lego game, this one has a few major improvements. First, the graphics are nicer than ever. Texture work is starting to look decent and the animations are better. Captain Jack Sparrow in particular has a very distinctive way of walking.

The second improvement is the new way Traveler's Tales decided to handle two player. In previous games, the two players were confined to the same screen which made for some frustrating segments where one player wants to go one way and the other wants to go the other way. This time, the screen automatically splits in the middle when the players are too far apart and merges back together when they get close enough. This technique works wonders and I hope it makes it's way into other games that have same screen multiplayer. Outside of that though, we didn't really have much fun.
