I'm sure everybody heard of this by now, but damn, does it have insane amounts of potential. It offers so much fun, so much features, and great fun in early access that it's worth looking into. I hope Lego & TT Games both put all their necessary spare funds into this to take proper responsibility of their new new-born child. They need to take full responsibility, especially with all the challenges they implied to be setting for themselves.

You're basically placed with in the Lego world to do as you desire by either building or collecting, or both. You create a world of your choosing, jump in, and roam around freely with no leash or collar. You're let loose to bump into friendly NPCs to gain their style of customization; attacking the hostiles to unlock their customization options. You're free to do whatever you want while collecting the in-game's currency of 'studs' to unlock what you've discovered fully. You can drive cars, pilot planes and helicopters, while even being allowed to set sail. It's fun seeing your little mini-figure being able to ride vehicles, climb terrain, and even mess around with the environment. It has a long way to go, just a great base point to build off of.
My hopes is to see Star Wars & Indiana Jones set out in the wild on their very own. Multiplayer is confirmed by years' end so no fear or worries about it. Three sets I hope to find within the game in time....
1) http://brickset.com/sets/7683-1/Fight-on-the-Flying-Wing
2) http://brickset.com/sets/4559-1/Cargo-Railway
3) http://brickset.com/sets/60064-1/Arctic-Supply-Plane
What I hope shall be added after to expand into space:
1) http://brickset.com/sets/7264-1/Imperial-Inspection
2) http://brickset.com/sets/6456-1/Mission-Control
3) http://brickset.com/sets/6339-1/Shuttle-Launch-Pad
So much great potential that I wonder if this is the route Rising World is going with vehicles. Hoping for so much fun while even waiting to see if they're intelligent by adding a free-roam into space using the space sets & Star Wars sets in a Space Engineers manner. They have the resources & funding.
(I ask that if you are going to post to keep any Minecraft comparisons to a minimum. Let's be civil and polite about this.)
