Based on the video trailer debuting the massively multiplayer game LEGO Universe, developer NetDevil is reaching back to when LEGO toys could mimic popular entertainment without necessarily licensing properties.  The game promises to put players young-skewed ones, presumably into build-your-own worlds based on fantasy, sci-fi and other popular fare.  In highlighting the possibilities, the video openly draws from recognizable films and games in those genres but stops short of licensed material.
