What is LEGO Dimensions?
Almost everyone is familiar with LEGO games such as Batman, Lord of the Rings and the LEGO versions of famous galaxies. Those LEGO Games are immensely popular. After the success of Disney Infinity and Skylanders, a similar LEGO game was to be expected.  

LEGO Dimensions is a game on PS3/PS4/WiiU/Xbox360 or XboxOne that involves playing with real LEGO toys in a virtual reality. The physical toys are placed on a special platform and can then be seen and used in the virtual reality of the game.  

Build and rebuild
LEGO Dimensions will differ from similar types of games as LEGO Games focus on the building of LEGO constructions. Thus, before you are able to play the game, you are first required to build your own Portal using the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack. The LEGO bricks needed to build this Portal can be found in separate parts in the box itself together with building sets for the vehicles that can be placed onto the Portal. 

LEGO Dimensions Vehicles and Gadgets

Of course, many LEGO Dimensions Characters coming form the existent LEGO Games will be available. Next to this, you can shape the game to your own liking by adding vehicles and gadgets. Furthermore, LEGO would not be LEGO if it would not be possible to build all vehicles and gadgets in three different ways! This feature is even added to the virtual game play, which means that you will have to rebuild your vehicle to proceed to the next level. Use the special LEGO Toy Tag to save your newly constructed vehicle. You now have access to your vehicle in a different LEGO Portal, for example the one of your best friend. Happy playing!

LEGO Dimensions Sets/Packages

Four different sets of LEGO Dimensions will be available at the time of release in September 2015. The Starter Pack is among those four. You will need this pack to get started with the LEGO Dimensions game. Different Starter Packs exist for the different types of game computers since the LEGO Portal needs to be connected to the game computer and the physical disc itself. All other LEGO Dimensions Figures and Vehicles within the Starter Pack can be played with on other versions of LEGO Dimensions Portals and Games as well. The same applies to the other three LEGO Dimensions sets.
