LEGO Minifigures

LEGO Minifigures is a short puzzle game created to hold LEGO fans over until LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 came out. The game focuses on the first series of the LEGO Minifigures toyline: 16 minifigs are used in combat, gauntlet-running, and puzzle-solving in 60 levels on four difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Extra Hard.

The game is downloadable from the PlayStation Network (where it is available on PSP and PS3), the Wii Shop Channel, the DS Store, and the Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Gameplay/Minifigures
Normally, gameplay (utilizing the PS3 controller as an example) is simple: the arrow keys move the minifig around, the X button is pressed once to jump, and twice to dive, the L2 trigger allows for the character to use their implement in a fatal fashion, whereas R2 trigger allows for a puzzle-solving implementation/aiming ranged weapons. Upgrades generally enhance the Minifig's item/powers.

Native American - The Native American wears a body-covering native suit and his hair carries two feathers. He carries a bow and quiver, the same as Robin Hood: however, Native American can rapid-fire his bow by holding L2. He will let loose a three-arrow burst if R2 is used to aim.
 * Upgrade: Native American can now fire five arrows at once if L2 is tapped instead of held.

Cheerleader - The Cheerleader is the embodiment of "attractive" in LEGO form: lipstick, lond blonde hair, a skirt, a shirt (with visible boob lines) and pompoms. Cheerleader can use the pompoms in a dance: this works best in co-op, keeping enemies distracted so the other players can get past to safety. The other minifigs will STILL ogle Cheerleader for a few seconds after she stops, allowing her to get to safety herself. Her pompoms aren't the best at fighting, though.
 * Upgrade: Cheerleader gets sharper pompoms for increased damage, and the ogle effect produced by her dance lasts longer after she stops.

Caveman - Caveman, if he could pick a name, would choose "Brutus Forcus", because that's his modus operandi: smashing the heck out of everything in his path. He has a bone tucked into his shirt, but carries a large club which can bash through nearly anything in the game. Though it takes a second to swing up, it can kill multiple minifigs at the same time.
 * Upgrade: Caveman's swing time is removed, and his club can bash through EVEN MORE stuff than usual.

Clown - Clown is distracting in a quite literal way: he carries a squeeze horn that stuns enemies for five seconds after they hit. Other than that, Clown has nothing and sucks at fighting.
 * Upgrade: Clown gets a low-frequency horn, which can kill other minifigs with four hits. He also gets better at fighting.

Zombie - Zombie is, well, a zombie. He's survived the death of humanity long enough to get past shuffling around aimlessly and actually get maneuverable, and also found a shovel and a chicken wing. The shovel is used to dig up objects/kill enemies using L2, and R2 distracts enemies by throwing a chicken wing, which will be quickly devoured.
 * Upgrade: Zombie's shovel turns into a sharp spade, which increases damage and decreases dig time, and the chicken wing is turned into a turkey, which takes longer to devour.

Teenager - Teenager, or "Teen" for short, is a rebellious teenager - he has a skull and crossbones on his shirt. Teenager has a skateboard, which can be hopped onto by pressing R2: it has its own moveset. Movement is controlled by the analog stick, and X performs an Ollie, which is a jump. Double-tapping X allows Teen to perform a tailgrab, which helps him stay in the air longer. Ollieing onto rails or thin objects allows Teen to grind over pits. As well, if you have to Ollie after crossing a pit, Teen can kickflip with the L2 button to sail over it.
 * Upgrade: Teen gets a longboard, which goes faster and has longer air time, allowing for larger Ollies, longer kickflips, and more tailgrab time.

Robot - Robot is a generic robot with two antannea who has one regular and a Gadget: what looks like a wrench-arm. Robot can smack people around, and can hold R2 near electronics to interface with them and do things like open doors or mechanically move level sections.
 * Upgrade: Robot's Gadget gets increased damage and decreased work time on gadgets.

Crash Test Dummy - Dummy for short, Crash Test Dummy is actually smart - and since he has metal parts, he is more resilient than other characters with 8 stars instead of 4. He also carries a wrench, which can repair broken objects and bash people around.
 * Upgrade: Dummy gets a better wrench, with less fixing time and more damage applied.
