Brilliant!! Lego just cant do wrong! October 26, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Despite the Lego games being aimed at children, the Star Wars & Indiana Jones games brought out nostalgia in fully grown adults. Its cheeky recreation of classic scenes, combined with the universal appeal of Lego, made this franchise a winner.
Although previous games were good, at times the most memorable moments were the cut scenes. Lego Batman doesn't follow any specific film or timeline in the series, instead capturing as many elements as possible, from the camp 1960s iteration, through to the latest Dark Knight.
This is mostly done by suits located throughout stages, granting special powers to Batman or Robin, often linked to a specific puzzle.
The plot involves Batman's enemies escaping from Arkham Asylum. Developer Travellers Tales has included as many of these as possible; from classic villain's Joker & Penguin to the more random Clayface or Mad Hatter.
This gives lots of variety when playing Free Play, as many characters have powers specifically linked to them. With Star Wars & Indy, there were only a handful of characters that made a difference to gameplay. Here, theres a much, much wider selection.
The emphasis is still on building and collecting studs, but playing completed levels from the villain's perspective is a great addition, and works excellently.
The graphics are cute and shiny, exactly as a Lego game should be, and absolutely glows in 1080p.
In my opinion, the best Lego game so far.

If you liked Lego Star wars & Indiana Jones, you'll love this.
If you're new to Lego games, what you'll get here is 30 fun packed levels with every villain and hero in the Bat universe, full of laughs and gadgets with hundreds of items to collect. Hours & hours of fun. The two player option lets you play together as a team not against each other, which is great for couples and families alike. Will keep the kids happy for hours and get them working together as team! It's seriously addictive and lots of fun for people of all abilities.
Bat-Tastic! October 15, 2008

I am work right now and seriously considering buying the game on PSP aswell so I can play it in my office tomorrow. This game is so much fun and so addictive. The Bat Cave is just a great little mini game in itself and as for the main game... better than any previous Lego game, and thats saying something I can tell you!
Often hilarious, often exciting & often pure genius. It soon becomes clear how well thought out each level is. There are many little treats to unlock and many levels require you to go back as another character with various abilitys or as Batman himself with one of the many cool gadget suits you onlock as you play through the game. This enables you to reach previously unreachable areas. So theres lots and lots of replayabily.
The care and attention to detail is amazing. The game seems to be based more on the superb 90's cartoon series and it's obvious that the devolpers were massive fans of that show... Just like me ;0)
Adults can safely pass a controller to one of their kids and have a great time together. Dad can solve the puzzles while junior beats up the bag guys. ZAP! POW!

Lego Have Done It Again October 14, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is simply a winner. Ok it does what the other games do, but more so, and with better graphics. I find this game impossible to put down, its compelling to watch the little Lego people running around, breaking up bricks, collecting coins, moving switches etc etc. Great to see a new set of characters and abilities within the Batman universe too. I have all the Lego games, there is an amazing simplicity and quality to them. If you didnt like the others, this wont change your mind, but if you hunger for more of the same, get it now!
Lego games back on track with Batman October 17, 2008

Now , i had massive expectatinons for Indiana Jones when that game came out - not literally you understand - after the sheer fun and quality of Star Wars 2, so as you can imagine like a lot of other people i was rather underwhelmed by the game, just a bit to easy for long term gamers like me, i know its not aimed at me but i still enjoy well crafted and thought out games ala the Star Wars games, so i found this a massive dissapointment, it was too short - i finished it in 5 days - and not all that indepth, so in short this new game has a lot to live upto in my eyes. Well all i can say after a week of owning this game is wow. This is so much better than Indiana on so many levels, the level designs are gorgeous, the feel of the game and the balance are spot on and its incredible addictive, you just want to get 100% from the moment you pick up the controller. The replay value here is much more than Indiana and up there with Star Wars 2, you need to go through a level at least 3 times to make sure you find everything, this one has had me scratching my head a few times already trying to find those little power bricks. Just a mention about the music too, its perfect just like watching Batman from 1989 with Michael and Jack. Now all we need is for Lego to release Batman Begins and The Dark Knight as downloadable extra level through the PS3 store and your sorted, just imagine another 20 levels as both Batman and the Scarecrow and The Joker, perfect.
