LEGO Creator is a computer sandbox game for the PC that involves building with virtual LEGO elements. The game has been known for having no missions, objectives, challenges, or money constraints. The game was developed by THRQ Inc. and Supercape, and published by LEGO Media.
Features
The game let's you create several different models, along with vehicles and a city. In addition to the regular bricks in an assortment of colors, there are specified "Action Bricks" that move or make noise. Such examples include a Hinge, Propeller, and Siren. There is also a "Destructa Brick". This can be used to destroy models in Play Mode, although they will automatically rebuild when returning to Build Mode. Minifigures can also be used, and can stand, sit (for controlling vehicles), or walk. They, too are customizable. They can even be set to drive vehicles set to a path or road. In play mode, environments can go from day to night.
Windows XP/Vista compatibility
Older versions of LEGO Creator CDs do not work in Windows XP unmodified. [1] When installed from an original game disc, overwritten with a third party patch and run in Windows 98/Me compatibility mode, the game will play on some Windows XP computers. LEGO has released a newer edition which is XP compatible and has also released a patch to allow it to run on Windows-NT based operating systems, such as Windows 2000, XP or Vista. LEGO creator is compatible with Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Business.
