Advantages: Cute and pretty

Disadvantages: It's Lego Star Wars in different clothes

As a lego fan I was over the moon with the Lego Star Wars franchise. Star Wars in a Lego stylee - what's not to like? So when I heard about Lego Batman it was a no-brainer of a purchase for me. I was looking forward to seeing the Caped Crusader, Robin and their various enemies rendered in cutesy Lego!

Now that I've played the game, I have mixed opinions. Yes, it absolutely does look fabulous as you would expect. The characters are beautufully drawn and animated and the game is played out with the same wit and love that Star Wars was granted. But my problem is that maybe it's TOO similar. So, if you've played Lego StarWars, you've already played Lego Batman. It's the same game with different skin. There are some differences, but not enough to warrant Batman to be viewed in its own light.

So it's up to you. If you're a fan of Lego generally, you'll love it. But if you've already played the Star Wars games, it just depends on whether you want more of the same...

Summary: Go for it if you're happy with more of the same
