Sydney, Australia – June 17, 2009 – LEGO® Battles for Nintendo DS is now available at Australian retail stores nationwide. Produced by TT Games, developed by Hellbent Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the latest game in the award-winning LEGO videogame line-up combines elements of three classic LEGO toy themes, LEGO Castle, LEGO Pirates, and LEGO Space.

LEGO® Battles is an epic real-time strategy game that takes players through six unique storylines and 90 levels on land, sea and air for a completely customizable LEGO adventure. As gamers progress through the narrative, they can create LEGO bases and squads by mixing and matching units from the different themes to create the ultimate personalized LEGO team with which to do battle. Friends can also challenge one another on the battlefield in Multiplayer mode through wireless DS multi-card play that supports up to three people.
