Graphics: More variety in the backgrounds and overall detail is needed. After a while the town theme gets tiresome. Also, some more variety could have gone a long way had they chosen to include castle and space sets. A new interface and more detail would have gone a long way. The concept is great but the result is not. Putting the toys into motion can be cool too, even if all they do is move in circles or straight lines.

Another plus is that you can build a large town, something most people probably do not have room to do with the toys. It does allow users to build that huge building they may have always wanted to build but never had enough bricks to do it. For example, headlights glow but they do not cast any light onto the roads.

Lights do exist at night but they do not give off light. There is also a feature to change from day to night but this leads to another disappointment. Where are the mountains, or deserts, or anything other than green? The town sets in the toy line may be all green but the developers could have strayed a little to add some variety. One includes generic blue buildings to make it appear as if a city is in the distance, another is simply green, while another is green with one small hill. All of them feature a green base with minimal additions. Selectable backgrounds are very bland too. The action is viewed on such a small screen that nothing contains much detail. Considering how your town is likely to feature quite a few people, assigning the mini-figures laughs can become very irritating when the town is put into motion. Most of the sounds are laughs, all of which sound about the same. Adding sounds is another option but the available sounds are average at best. This makes it difficult to see all of your selections. For some reason the parts never change on the menu screen, only on the tiny mini-figure on the town screen. In order to do this one must click on each part of a mini-figure on the menu screen. When clicking on a mini-figure players can place them into the town and then manipulate their appearance. Mini-figures look just like they do as plastic toys but the way they are created is terrible. It can be a challenge to determine what all of them are as they do not have any labels attached to them. Pre-built buildings are mostly small with little detail. The camera does allow you to zoom in but it moves excruciatingly slow and does not always allow the exact angle you are trying to get. Things become difficult to see because the viewable area is so small. Once you get past the menus and begin building many more problems will become noticeable - primarily due to the problems mentioned above. Some of the choices will take a few seconds to occur which led me to begin wondering if my click of the mouse had registered or not. Another problem is the slow response of the menu selections. Pull down menus would have worked so much better. Instead more than half of the screen is covered with various buttons that are used to make selections. Less than half of the screen is used to view the actual building area. The interface is the first problem that presents itself. Almost every disadvantage a person has when playing with the toys may be erased but plenty of new ones arise.

Sure, LEGO Creator provides users with unlimited bricks, the ability to change the color of those bricks, and a large, flat area to work with. Unfortunately, the is a rather boring experience. LEGO toys are a lot of fun to play with but that fun is not carried over into LEGO Creator. LEGO Creator could have been so much more than it is.
