In a storyline from the movie, The LEGO Movie Videogame casts the LEGO kids as Emmet, an ordinary, rule-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure, misidentified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world.
Players guide him as he's enlisted in a community of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey that Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared for.
