LEGO Universe, the upcoming LEGO-branded MMO, can best be described as "LEGO Star Wars multiplied by a million," according to Mark Hansen, the Director of Business Development for the LEGO Group.

Tentatively set for release in 2009, LEGO Universe seeks to provide gamers with "a virtual extension of the real-world LEGO" gameplay, by allowing MMO fans a chance to virtually live among each of the thousands of LEGO sets that have been created over the years.

Most impressive in this quest is LEGO's plan to integrate fabrication of objects directly into the title.

Any structure or vehicle you may construct out of the MMOs virtual blocks, you can also export to LEGO who will allow you to purchase traditional LEGO sets that are exact replicas of what you've created in-game.

Exporting your creations to LEGO sounds really neat, but at what cost?

am I the only one that hates all these Lego games? I have no desire to play them. I don't want to stack bricks.

I played one of the Lego Star Wars and as dumb as it looks it was a great game! I couldn't stop playing it till my friend left with it. I dunno but it was pretty fun to spend your time with. It's the kind of game I'd play on a PSP or something while on the subway, do they have it for PSP?

Lego star wars II the original Trilogy is on the PSP, but not the newest combination called "the complete saga"

they do have "the complete saga" on the DS, which makes me want to switch platforms just so I can run around with it. My son and I mess around with the two trilogy lego star wars on the PC. this MMO looks fun.
