    Hi guys,

    So, Santa is bringing my kids (9 and 7) a Wii U for Christmas.
    My 7 year old is Lego crazy and wants to get Lego Dimensions.

    My question is, should we get it for the Wii U or the PS3? They currently use my PS3 for other Lego games etc.

    Is there any disadvantage to getting it for PS3 that i should know of?

    Big disadvantage is it is very expensive overall!!!

    It is a good idea, but the problem I found is that you can get far in the game unless you keep buying the different sets.
    I think we are at 250 in total spent so far, outside the game!!!

    I thought you could play all of the levels, but only as the 3 characters from the starter set - but that you can buy additional characters which i guess will have different abilities etc.

    Yeah, you can play a few levels, more than a few to be fair, but to progress in the game and to unlock certain levels you need new characters.

    Plus, if yours are anything like mine, the 3 starter players get boring very quick.

    Things like Lego Jurassic park and so on have proven better for my young ones!

    I would go Wii U as it is more interactive and fun looking.
    The PS3 will be just like suing any other console, but the Wii at least has some movement in it.


    I never understood why the Wii didnt take off, any of the games I played on it were always fun, my 5 year old still gets a sweat up doing the Wii boxing games!

    Nintendo marketed it as a kids toy. Playstation and Xbox were seen by many as being more serious systems. Nintendo made a balls of it.

    True but it also led to millions ignoring it or using it as a door stop.
