Lego Battles offers a new kind of “build and battle” Lego gameplay. Through six distinct story lines, players build their own Lego bases and battle teams as they engage in 90 different levels, mixing and matching units to create the ultimate customized Lego squad. These Lego battles teams include pirate swordsmen fighting side-by-side with wizards and aliens; dragons battling astronauts; and pirate ships launching broadsides against spacecraft and knights. Players can also challenge friends on the battlefield in multiplayer mode through wireless DS multi-card play. The factions for this game are Knights, Skeletons, Pirates, Imperial soldiers, Astronauts, and Aliens.
