Lego Batman: The Videogame (Wii)

Batman In Bits ============ I've always been intrigued by the Lego games but had never actually played one, but I lucky enough to be given Lego Batman for Christmas for the Wii. The game is in effect a 3D platform game. You can play as the cape crusader and his trusty sidekick Robin, or you can play as the many villains. The villains are more interesting as they all have specific abilities, for example, some are strong, some can walk on toxic areas etc. For free play you will need to use characters with specific strengths for some areas for completion. Story mode is where the main part of the game plays out, either as hero or ...  Read the complete review

Lego Batman is the third game in the series of Lego computer games, the first two being Star Wars and Indiana Jones. In this game, Batman gets the Lego treatment, and the general consensus is that the game is better. This is also my opinion, as I found this game more playable and addictive than the other, with many more intricacies and attention to detail than the previous games. The format of the first two games followed the relevant films in series order, but for Batman it has been handled a little differently. You start in the Batcave with Batman and Robin (no surprises there then!). There are 3 initial levels, each with a villain to beat at the end: ...  Read the complete review

This game is more playable and addictive than the other games I have experienced based on cartoons, toys and the like. Each story has villain to beat at the end: Penguin, Riddler, Joker. Each story is split into levels where there is a less vicious Batman villain to beat before gaining access to the main villain of the story. However you can only save your progress on the game at the end of each level which is dissapointing. Throughout the game you will need to go back with different characters to complete the levels entirely and achieve the 100% completion percentage to signify you have done everything possible in the game.

Having been a great fan of the Indiana Jones version of this game and the star wars version I was very excited to buy this when it came out. It has a similar format to the previous mentioned games, whereby you and a selection of other characters go through various levels, each set in different locations. This can either be played as a solo character or a multi player game where two of you work as a team to get through the levels. The levels are made up of a mixture of activites, collected coins and other bits and peices as you go, which are all valuable later on. There is a well balanced mixture of fighting off the badies, solving puzzles and operating various vehicles. ...  Read the complete review

Great fun, good value for money and a few jokes for the Batman fan boy. I'm a huge fan of Batman and a fan of Lego Star Wars so I was really looking forward to playing this game. I was not disappointed thought it's not the same game play experience as Star Wars. For some reason I didn't find the game quite as much fun as Lego Star Wars though there is no doubt that the game play is more varied and the level design is at least as good. Perhaps light sabers and force powers are simply more fun than Batarangs and kung fu. Like Lego Star Wars the game is excellent for both single and two player play. Like Lego Star Wars it's great for ...  Read the complete review
