I went to The Lego Company's website to get some information about the latest castle line, Kingdoms, in order to post about these sets. Instead of doing my research, however, I got sucked into playing the games on the Kingdoms home page.
It was really a pretty entertaining way to spend some time (I decline to say how much time).
The first challenge is Catapult Showdown.
The Lion Knight must use his catapult to destroy an enemy siege weapon that appears to launch giant axes. Great fun! You need to vary the angle and speed of your projectile in order to defeat the enemy.
Once you've defeated 3 enemies, you can move on to the next game, Prison Carriage Pursuit.
The enemy has taken one of your soldiers hostage, and is carrying him away on a wagon. You need to catch up with him and rescue the prisoner. This quest is complicated by the fact that this appears to be a very tectonically unstable region, and huge pits keep appearing right in front of you (but never in front of the cart!). You are helped, however by a temporary suspension of the laws of physics which allows you to switch directions in mid-air. Fast-paced and pretty enjoyable, but those pits are the pits...
If you can rescue 3 prisoners without ending up face down in the mud, wondering where you went wrong and hoping you didn't get your feather plume dirty, you advance on to game number 3. Which, I'm afraid, will have to wait until tomorrow.
