a_gamer_is_meI had no idea this comm existed!
So who likes the Lego games? I love the Star Wars ones, especially Lego SW II, which really improved upon the first game in so many ways.
Unfortunately, I've tried and been disappointed with both Batman and Indiana Jones (though I have yet to play Indiana Jones 2). With Batman, I found the controls really fiddly and the gameplay needlessly complicated (especially the suit-switching). In addition, the game is really dark, which I realise is to add to the Batman feel, but makes it kind of difficult to distinguish things. Indiana Jones was a lot better, but his whip, oh dear God, his whip. Worst weapon ever. And picking up spears and guns and whatnot is fiddly as well. I really miss my blasters and lightsabers!
So I haven't really played much of those two (I know I should play more, and thus get used to them a little more, but I just really want more SW!), but I am really, really looking forward to Lego Harry Potter. It's coming out at the end of June, and while I have been telling myself I shouldn't buy it until I play some more of the games I got for Christmas, it is being released three days after my birthday, which makes it really tempting. I hope the gameplay is better than Batman or Indiana Jones and more on par with Star Wars.
But, but, but! When I went on Amazon just now to confirm the release date of Lego HP, I saw something even better. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is coming out in October. Waaaaaaaaaant. OMG I want it so bad. It cannot be October soon enough.
So what about you guys? Are you excited about Harry Potter and Clone Wars? Should I tough out Batman and Indiana Jones some more because they will totally be worth it if I do? Which is your favorite Lego game so far?
[Note: I played Lego SW I&II on PS2, but Batman and Indiana Jones on the Wii, and since we don't have a PS3 or X-Box 360, any upcoming Lego games will have to be for the Wii as well.]

As for Clone Wars, I'm not touching that franchise with a ten foot pole in any form even if the legos will eliminate the issue I have with the animation style.
Anyways, the Batman game is actually my favorite because dude, I get to play as villains and wreak havoc on Gotham city. But I liked the first Star Wars too, especially the weird ass situations you can create during free play.

I'm not sure my problems with the gameplay are entirely due to the Wii controller, though (especially with Indiana Jones, because the whip is just a horrible weapon, period).
