5 out of 5 stars Batman Rocks!   October 5, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Now this is the best lego game out there, don't get me wrong the others were fun to but, more game time for your buck here. The story not being lock down to the movies lets them do more things with the game, 31 long missions. Jones was fun but was done in a few hours, we need more play time for our money. But what I really want to see is a Lord Of The Rings Lego!!


5 out of 5 stars Makes me want to go buy Legos   October 4, 2008

I love the Lego movie franchise of games, and Batman feels more like the original, classic Lego Star Wars than Indiana Jones did. The between scenes movies are better than the others, and the game play is just as fun.


5 out of 5 stars Basically a first timer to Lego games, and what a trip!   October 3, 2008
I had only vaguely played the Lego Star Wars game, and Indiana Jones, well I had passed on that. But when a green haired lego Joker is staring me in the face, who am I to resist?

The game is quite simply a nostalgia overload of goodness. Everything you loved about Batman and everything you loved about Legos...all in one. The game features an original storyline, not a rehash of any Batman episode or movie you've seen. It combines all of the characters and villains that you know (Joker, Penguin, Riddler, etc) and a few that maybe you don't (Poison Ivy, Killer Moth). And they all become controllable characters as well. One of the best aspects of the game is the at times ingenious ways you combine the capabilities of the different characters to solve puzzles. One may have super strength while another has mind control and another can swim underwater. All the abilities need to be used in concert to get 100% of the experience in the game.

At times, the game feels a little hack-and-slash, but somehow it never gets old. The constant quest for the latest unlockable, trying out a new character, or solving a perplexing puzzle...it just keeps driving you. And rest assured there is a lot to find in this game. It can definitely keep you busy for a while.

I don't know if all the Lego games are this good, but if you're like me, you won't regret making Lego Batman your first!



4 out of 5 stars Gotham is going to pieces   October 1, 2008
Let's face it, if you played LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones, you are going to play LEGO Batman. The SW game is simplistically fantastic, the IJ game holds its own and provides lots of gaming hours. Batman is a fun game but far far too short and easy. You get 3 Episodes of 5 Chapters each for the Heroes and Villians. You have to complete the Hero Episodes to unlock the opposing Villian Episode. In the story mode of Hero side, you are only Batman and Robin but throughout the chapters you may need to use their alternate suits. The Villian side, you play Riddler and one of four others for each chapter, same with Penguin and Joker. In story mode, the Villian side is much funner to play. Free play on either side is still the way to go and the vehicles are awesome. The best unlockable features are all from the Villian side as the Hero line are Batsuit upgrades.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is only Batman based characters. The only other Heroes you get to be are Batgirl and Nightwing outside of 'civilian' good guys (Com. Gordon, Alfred, Bruce Wayne). The Villians have a great variety.

Overall, despite some glitches and a few bad camera angles and one terrible vehicle access spot (Penguin harbor area) this game holds its own. Great music score based off the Danny Elfman themes too. This game would have been much better had LEGO and WB been able to work a deal to use the Justice League to include more heroes and locations.



5 out of 5 stars Maybe the Best Lego yet?   September 29, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

So after about 27% of the gamne completed (that means about 11 levels) me and my Son (5 yrs old but a Lego console game veteran) are pretty well convinced this may be the best Lego venture yet.

Star Wars, and especially the complete series version was amazing, and Indiana Jones was awesome but had some issues mainly with polish and at times very frustrating bugs with the controls. Batman seems to have gotten alot of stuff right. The variation with the different suits is just as remarkable as the character skills. Characters that I thought would be boring (Poison Ivy for instance) are tons of fun.

I'm a pretty big Batman fan, especially the Animated Series and this really lives up to the spirit of the Aanimated stuff. The levels look absolutely awesome. The fact that you can play entire chapters as the Heroes, then replay those levels from the perspective of the villains is amazing, not to mention it makes what would be a 15 level game into a 30 level one. (and probably more) The Villain levels are substantially different, yet familiar also, not just a total re-hash/walkthrough of the Hero levels.

Now, we can only hope that the folks who worked on this will make Lego Harry Potter. (PLEASE)
