LEGO Universe unveiled a new trailer at CES this year which highlited the key theme behind the gameplay.

The underlying plot:

Lego Universe takes place in an alternate universe populated by Lego minifigures. Many years ago, a team of minifigures went off to seek the last essence of pure imagination. Once they found it, Baron Typhonus used the imagination to create a giant chaotic spider to demonstrate the power of imagination. The spider took him into the source of pure imagination and created a dark force known as the Maelstrom. This being of dark imagination is able to turn otherwise innocent minifigures and creatures into Stromlings. Now, great plans are in place to push back the power of the Maelstrom, and restore harmony to the universe. Players will join together to help the people of the Lego Universe battle the Maelstrom and its Stromling army.

Since a playable demo of LEGO Universe was available at CES, here are some walkthrough videos.
