The best bit is that if you can get three friends to help, then one person can actually control a character each, which really livens things up.

But even in single player mode any of the characters can get a chance to take part in a Hero Time mini-game that provides a enjoyable respite from the main game as you take a ride on a dragon with Donkey or indulge in a singalong with Fiona. Although the graphics are impressive (much more so than the sound, which doesnt feature the original movie cast), the main gamep.
