Lego Batman: The Videogame (DS)

As a child, LEGO was the best thing ever. The ultimate toy, you could make anything you wanted exactly how you wanted, followed by the fun of breaking it all apart and starting over again. Where would we all be today without LEGO? In the video game world, I'm not sure where we'd be. Over the past two years the hugely successful LEGO Star Wars games have spearheaded a LEGO invasion of our gaming consoles. We are now faced with more LEGO spinoffs of blockbuster movies than anyone could have ever in a million years predicted! Now there are certain things about Batman that may cause you to doubt it's suitability as a LEGO-based game. Batman is and has ...  Read the complete review

Pre-amble *********** Lego Batman is a Warner Brothers game and is an addition to their Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games. The game is designed for ages 7+, as detailed on the box. My 5 year old nephew has played the game, and whilst he managed with most of it, there were some puzzles where he needed a bit of help. Personally, I think some 7 year olds would struggle with parts of this game. I have been lucky enough to be sent this game from a friend who lives in the good old USA. The official UK release date for Lego Batman was 10 October 2008 and it was available for pre-order through many specialized computer game retailers ...  Read the complete review

Lego Batman is the latest in a long line of LEGO theme videogames, this time you're in control of the caped crusader himself, Batman! You start of as Batman in your batcave, and from there you can enter three different rooms, each with five levels encompassing an entire mission.

Another excellent addition to the series of LEGO games. If you've played on any of the previous LEGO games on the ds (either LEGO star wars or LEGO indiana jones) you will know that these games include the best 3D gameplay and graphics found on the DS console. The great thing about this game is it is based around the comic books rather than the movies, meaning that any batman fans will be pleased to find all of their favorite characters in the game. You start off in a lobby as batman, where you are able to choose which level you want to play, when you then complete a level you can later come back as any character you have unlocked. Yes, that means ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game for my children as an Easter treat last week and found myself giving it a go as well. The game is quite simple in story line Batman and Robin have to go through several chapters to save Gotham City from the bad guys such as the penguin and the Joker. We hadn't got any of the previous lego games so we did find some of the play a little tricky at first - especially as we couldn't find a way out of the batcave!! Once that small glitch was solved we had no problems. Each Chapter is made up of 5 subsections which have to be solved before moving on to the next one. I must say that I really loved the sound effects on this game - when ...  Read the complete review
