2015 is a peculiar year for me: I was hit with 2 blasts from the past: the Evangelion series and the Back to the Future film franchise. In the 1985 film Back to the Future II, Marty (Michael J. Fox) travels forward in time to October 21, 2015, making this past October 21, 2015 a very special year for fans of the film. A special Thank You goes out to Warner Bros. Games for sending me the Back to the Future Level pack, so I can celebrate the 30th anniversary of this legendary film through gaming.
The Back To The Future Level Pack unlocks the “Hill Valley Time Travel Adventure Level” in the Lego Dimensions game. It is convenient that the level pack will work straight out of the box without interfering with your previous game progress. A Mini-figure such as Batman can be place on the Lego Toy Pad to appear early in the adventure or when prompt later in the adventure.

As a huge fan of the iconic DeLorean time machine, I think Lego’s design of the vehicle is quite loyal to the film’s vehicle. The build for the DeLorean and Hoverboard are both very detailed and well-crafted, just like the Batmobile in the Starter Pack.

The “ Hill Valley Time Travel Adventure “ level is quite extensive and challenging, as I didn’t mange to complete the level before writing this blog. However I did spend 2 hours on the level, long enough to put Batman and Gandalf in play. For owners of the Lego Dimensions game who are fans of the Back to the Future franchise, this level will be quite nostalgic: from the setting to the music, it is an excellent tribute to the film. For $29.99 (before tax) on Amazon.ca, compared to the 30th anniversary Trilogy Blu Ray set which is priced at $39.99 (before tax) on Amazon.ca.
