Midway Retro Gamer Level Pack - Lego Dimensions

I just received this today (Thanks, Amazon Prime!) and I spent a few hours playing it. If you're a fan of the old Midway games, you'll find plenty of nostalgia in this level pack. For example, back in the 80s I spent a fair amount of cash on Gauntlet. Well, lo and behold, there's a Gauntlet game in this level pack. Just as frustrating, holding true to the original design of sucking as much cash out of you as possible, only here...it can't, inasmuch as there's no quarter slot in my game console. Take that, Warner Brothers! And moreover, it's a much nicer experience playing these games on the console as opposed to the stupid Midway iPad app. The hub world is also interesting, at least to me, and has some definite exploration/time waster potential. Arcade Kid (or Gamer Kid, I guess he's known as) gives you some serious abilities...stealth, speed, invulnerability, super strength, and a laser. I kind of think of him as Neo from The Matrix. I'm working on upgrading the Spy Hunter car, but seriously...it's second in my heart only to the Back To The Future DeLorean for sheer cool/nostalgia reasons. Apparently it can be upgraded as a sub or a plane. In addition, as you're wandering around the core game, Gamer Kid is needed to access certain hidden spots. So if you want to get 100% in Dimensions, you need this level pack. Frankly, this level pack is worth the add on its own merits and independent of the other Lego Dimensions worlds. It's a lot of fun.

This is probably my kids favorite Level Pack ever. I think it might be my favorite too! :) The Gamer Kid is pretty powerful, with a TON of different abilities, including Super Strength, Super Strength Handles, Laser, Stealth, Invulnerability and Speed. This pack also allows you to play DOZENS of older games, that kids of the 80s might remember, including Toobin', Paper Boy, Vindicators, Marble Madness, 720°, Spy Hunter, Defender 1 and 2, Joust, Gauntlet 1 and 2, and Rampage; over 20 games total. All in all an awesome pack, cool new Midway Arcade level and new Story mode level, very versatile Gamer Kid, tons of older games. Has to be the best pack in all of Lego Dimensions by far. Get it :)

Purchased as Birthday present for son who was extremely happy

Is a good figure if you collect the dimensions mini figures

The physical LEGO bricks are quite nice, and I had a lot of fun putting the minifigure and 2 builds together. The Spy Hunter is my personal favorite, though the arcade cabinet is nice as well. The story level is not the greatest. It's basically a small arcade location that forces you to play through about 6 or so classic Midway games, such as Spy Hunter and Rampage. So why is the level pack called "Over 20 Classic Arcade Games"? Because you're actually able to go back to previous levels in LEGO Dimensions and find arcade docks. Using the Arcade Cabinet, you can unlock more classic Midway games, equalling to a little over 20 or so. You're also given incentive to actually do well in the games: the better you do, the more studs you're rewarded. This is actually a great alternative to stud farming, especially if you have any favorite classic Midway games that you're really good at. All of the games you've unlocked can be accessed very easily via the Midway Arcade Adventure World, which is also made available with this pack (more specifically, it's tied to the Gamer Kid). The world itself is also a blast to run around, much like the rest of the Adventure Worlds. While this level pack is basically a glorified Midway Arcade compilation, it's still fun, especially if you don't currently have a way to play any of the available Midway Games. If you're not interested in playing all of the Midway games, the game doesn't force you to; however, if you're interested in 100% year one of LEGO Dimensions, you're going to want to pick this up. As with all LEGO Dimensions level packs, I really don't recommend paying $29.99 for this. I'd seriously recommend waiting for it to go down to at least $25, but if you're really into classic games, this might be worth it anyway.

The Midway Retro Gamer level pack is awesome! It comes with Gamer kid, arcade machine and G-6155 spy hunter. Gamer kid has different abilities depending on the shirt he is wearing, the abilities are super strength, melt ice, stealth, laser ability, invulnerability and speed. You need the arcade machine to acces old school games like Gauntlet, paper boy, Defender, Joust and others. When I was playing this level I think I spent more time in the arcade games that the level itself. I don't really use the car because I have others. The level is really short but you have a lot of arcade games to play in it. And it also lets you acces the midway arcade Lego world which I feel is also small. But overall I like this level pack. It's fun!!

The game came in on time and the box was in excellent shape. It was fun to play, I really love all the different arcade games that can be played. Though playing them with an xbox controller takes a little while to get used to.

Fun item, and a great price! Thanks! So in this one your going to get the spy hunter car. And arcade machine. There 20 different games from the 80's which were some of my 1st games I ever played. So it is a fun retro flashback. But the gamer kid. Well he has a bunch of different abilities so he makes a great addition to your team when collecting key characters to explore the many dimensions of the Lego game. I recommend it!

Llegó rápido y como se describió

Nach 2 verschollenen Sendungen, hat der dritte Anlauf geklappt. Super Verkäufer. Hat das ganze dreimal auf den Weg gebracht, bis es endlich geklappt hat. Kann ich nur empfehlen, auch die schnellen Antworten. Einfach Top und 5Sterne wert.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on different sites about this pack in particular (Midway Arcade), and I think the main reason for that is the need to pass certain arcade games in order to progress through the level. For the most part these arcade games are easy to pass (even for my 7 year old); I think people forget they're playing a retro-themed arcade level and quickly give up. In any case, below are just a few reasons why this pack is great, and deserving of more credit than it's given. My brief critique is also provided. -Unlike many other characters out there, this character is a useful addition to your team. He has a few abilities that you can scroll through and use one at a time (you drink the pop associated with that ability) such as super speed, invincibility, invisibility, etc. -The mini arcade games are awesome and the requirement for each one is minimal. Gauntlet 1 and 2 are included! Enough said! -Adults who played games in the 80's and 90's will probably appreciate this game the most, but my 7 year old loves it as well. -Even if you're not crazy about the mini arcade game requirements in the level, the open world is a different story; there's no restrictions and it's a blast. I'd say it's better than many of the other dimensions in the game. Critique -The car included isn't any more or less useful than others, but very few vehicles in this game have a truly unique ability. -The level could have been longer and had an actual boss fight or something better to wrap up the level.

Llego en perfecto estado aunque algo lento el envio

After recently digging out my Lego Dimensions collection, and getting back into the game, I tracked down some new additions. I'd wanted this set for a long while, and after finding it at a 'reasonable' price, I ordered it. The minifigs look great, and the arcade level and world are nice additions. However, the level world is very short - completed in an hour or 2! I am yet to complete the world, but so far so good 😊
