Video Game Reviews of LEGO Batman
Customer Review: Best of the Lego Series
Summary: 5 Stars
There's not much to say that hasn't already been said, but I can assure you as a massive fan of the Lego games that this is the best one. Lego Star Wars was great, Lego Indy was inferior but still fun, and this one shows the natural progression in the series. It capitalizes on everything that was good about the first game, continues the gameplay improvements they made in Indy, and maximizes the potential of so many characters in the Batman universe.
Perhaps I'm biased, as I admit to being a Bat-fanatic, but is definitely the most fun to play. The only (slight) problem is with all the special suits for Batman and Robin, there are almost too many characters to flip through on free play.
The trailers excitedly announced that you can play as either heroes or villains, which I interpreted just to mean that you could switch characters in free play, same as always. But it turned out to mean that there are separate sets of levels, so that your mission is either to pull off a heist, or stop the same heist. This means there are a total of 30 levels, way more than any previous Lego game (except The Complete Saga, which bundled SW part I & II together). You'll be glad you have more levels to play, because they're awesome!
Oh, and if you're wondering whether they use the plots of the old Batman movies or the new movies, the answer is neither. The plot lines of the chapters are not related to any Batman movie, but it seems like each chapter features the main characters and "feel" of a different movie. Chapter 1 features Poison Ivy, Freeze, Bane, Two-Face, etc. and seems to be an homage to Batman Forever. In Chapter 2 you'll battle Catwoman, Penguin, and some others, and is clearly meant to give the feel of Batman Returns. Chapter 3 features the Joker and Scarecrow and seems to be a mix of Batman & Dark Knight. There are a number of lesser villains used who were never in any of the movies, which is a nice touch for Bat-geeks who've ever been into the comics.
If you're reading this page, you're already interested, so do yourself a favor and buy it already!
