Phantastc

I'd argue that, contrary to the popular saying, there are actually three certainties in life; Death, taxes, and another Lego game. Batman is back for a second outing in the latest brick based knockabout, and this time he's bought a few familiar faces from the world of DC.

If you're a fan of the previous LEGO adventures, or DC comics as a whole, then chances are you'll get a kick out of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes . The same charm and wit that made previous LEGO outings so endearing are back with full force, and the introduction of voice acting really works.

+ Fun and charming characters; + Shiny and impressive characters; + Open world suits collectible gameplay; + Cutscenes are humerous

- Vehicle controls are problematic; - Friendly AI is horrendous; - No mini-map causes frustration; - Combat lacks depth

If the subtitle to Lego Batman 2 has your inner fanboy yearning to team blocky Bats with his plastic friends in the Justice League, then prepare for disappointment. Sure, the DC superheroes eventually join the party in this action-adventure game based on the DC line of Lego toys, but not until the...

+ All of Gotham City is a hub to explore and search for unlockables, + The basics of Lego break-it-all gameplay are always fun; crisp visuals and huge playspaces

? Why didn't Batman join forces with the rest of the Justice League throughout the story campaign

This game is quite simply brilliant. If you are a regular of the lego series of games (Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Star Wars) this is a must-have addition to your collection. From the looks of it, this has been the most highly tuned and largest buidgetted game so far, with a massive free-roaming...

Bought the game after my 5 years old son completed trial version 30th time. But after we got it he did not play it much. He and his sister played lego indiana jones a lot before and completed it. Maybe they will pick it up later. It is more of a grown up game, more mysteries than in Indiana Jones.

This game currently costs about ￡30 on amazon. While I thoroughly enjoyed Lego Star Wars back in the day, Lego Indiana Jones pissed me right off, and Lego Rock Band was irritating (except the Rock Band part, which was fine).

Fun; not too difficult

A few really annoying features

If you've played one Lego game, you've played most of them. Although they all feature their own unique mechanics, you pretty much know what you're getting before you even go in. Still, fun little Batman game, although when the Justice League characters, especially Supes, shows up, it kinda makes...

The Blast Factor: After 15 years, the Lego games were at a bit of a crossroads - evolve or get left behind; and Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes is the answer. It may not be a complete refresh of the series, but it does manage to create some good ideas with that's already in place.

Like all the Lego games, the build/collect/smash em up nature is still just as addictive and the design is both brilliant and awful in equal measures. It’s heart-warming and fun, two things which most comic games (and indeed comics) lose out on when they ham-fistedly attempt to be ‘mature’.
