The flight and driving mechanics are truly poor (flight controls are TERRIBLE), and they give you 50% or less of the time to get to each race checkpoint than they did in Lego Lord of the Rings or Lego Batman 2 (both of which had just the expected amount of difficulty -- with only having to re-do the hardest races 5 times or so to complete them).

:The game plays just like the other games in the series: easy controls, family friendly, local multiplayer

The controls are really bad (the slightest touch in the wrong way and the character goes in a crazy direction), and the time limits are really, REALLY unforgiving.

With a better control scheme, they could have created more complicated courses for their races.

However, the roadblock that prevents this from being my favorite is the DREADFULLY bad controls for flying.

The controls on this game, suck.

But when the game wants you to fly courses of timed gates in a race, these clumsy flight controls are a bit like trying to get your cat to jump through a fiery hoop.

For example, though Emma Frost can mind control various NPCs, she can't move objects via telekinesis

The only dislike about this game would have to be the flying,and the races in the air,horrible,horrible controls when you are in the air.

They broke the controls on this one, and must have beta-tested it with 12-fingered 15-year-old game addicts.

The one complaint I have is that I don't like the flying controls

He goes left and right fine, but the controls are so anemic on the up and down, you can forget most flying challenges

The controls are easy, it is easy to protect your self and destroy foes
