Yes, I know “badical” isn’ttechnicallya word, but that’s the term Nick Chester used to describe the opening cinematic toLEGO Rock Band, and I couldn’t think of a more appropriate or accurate word. So there you have it:badical.
There’s a cute little LEGO band rocking out to “Grace” by Supergrass, which implores you to “save your money for the children” — a subliminalbuy this for your kids for Christmasmessage to parents, perhaps? In any case, you may follow the band as they traverse a number of the game’s outlandish venues in a variety of vehicles, including a pirate ship and a jet. There’s even a goddamn dinosaur from the LEGO City History Museum to spice up the proceedings, and as you all know, dinosaurs makeeverythingbetter.
