Overall this is another fun Lego Wii game. It follows the movie storyline and requires some puzzle solving and allows for exploration in the game levels. A couple gameplay moves can be glitchy at times and don't seem to work and then they will but this does not happen frequently.

While I enjoy earlier albums by Amos Lee, there are still some strong songs that are in the vain of what makes him a great artist. There are a few songs that seem to be different from his trademark sound and unfortunately I don't think they work.

What's great about it: About half of the album
What's not so great: A few songs get away from what makes Amos Lee great
Doesn't have the hard charging rock edge of Arctic Monkeys first two albums as it tends to follow the different, slightyly more mellow approach of their last two efforts, but still a solid album of good music.
