 Here we go again... October 4, 2008
You'd figure that with two Lego Star Wars games and Lego Indiana Jones already under their belts, Travelers Tales' Lego games would be getting kind of stale. Well, you'd figure wrong. Lego Batman features everything that was enjoyable with the aforementioned games, and slaps the Batman license on it to boot. Playing as the Caped Crusader and his sidekick Robin, you traverse a Lego-fied Gotham City and take on the usual rogues gallery of baddies. Fans of the Batman comics will be happy to see plenty of familiar faces: Joker, Nightwing, Batgirl, Hush, Bane, and plenty more are all here for your amusement. If you've played any of the previous Lego-based games, you should already know what to expect here, as Lego Batman offers up plenty of funny and comical moments supplemented with tons of unlockables and bonus characters to boot. The game looks good and even offers Danny Elfman's classic Batman theme, rounding out the presentation. The only downsides to Lego Batman are the same flaws that were apparent in previous Lego games: the difficulty is simple to say the least, and the game isn't that long at all. Still, with the hordes of unlockables to find, you'll keep playing, although it would have been nice to have some online co-op features by now. All in all, Lego Batman is a fun and family friendly diversion that anyone can enjoy and easily pick up and play.
Always fun to break a few Lego's September 29, 2008

I bought this game for my 7 year old, he was very excited about it because we do have all three games by Lego, and have really enjoyed playing them. It is the easier of the three, the levels seem shorter and villans take very little to knock off. In general it is a fun simple minded game, but the creators could have made the levels longer and more challenging, like in Lego Stars Wars. My 7 year old loves it, and would play it all day long if we let him. But it might be better to wait till it is priced cheaper and you won't feel cheated.
 It helps that Batman is the star... September 28, 2008

...but "LEGO Batman" could have been so much more. While I am generally pleased with the graphical quality and overall presentation of the game, the gameplay is in sore need of an overhaul
But anyway, let's begin with:
THE GOOD:
1) The character diversity is impressive. I was happy to see some fanboy additions, rather than merely the main offenders, and overall, I was pleased at the number and variety of characters appearing.
2) The vehicle stages are impressive. While the main nemesis of the game (control) rears its ugly head at times, in general, the movement was fast-paced and frantic, if a little easy.
3) The graphics are nice. Crisp, colorful and clean. While it could have been better, the payoff would have been slight (these are LEGOs, after all).
4) There are a good number of extras in this game. Hidden stages, hidden characters, hidden facts, hidden upgrades - they are all here. If I had one gripe here, it's that there isn't a super-challenging mode (or at least one which I could find).
THE BAD:
1) Control. It's painful. It's unforgivable. This same game has been made three times before - why can't they get it right? Walking along narrow pathways can be a chore, and jumps are often missed, causing much frustration.
2) Environment. At times, it's difficult to determine where you can and can't go - until you die, over and over. While the puzzles are generally not difficult, their appearance is often masked, and it can be unclear if there is a puzzle at ALL. Combined with bad point one, this yields an incredible amounnt of frustration.
3) Difficulty. With the exception of the cheapness factor due to the horrible control, the game itself is very easy. One-on-one battles are a joke (you can just hit one button, over and over), and the general rule of the levels is ...just to smash everything. Some more variety here would have been appreciated.
THE UGLY:
1) Size of game. This game is just too small for the PS3/XBox/Wii. It would have been nice to see some challenge modes, or hidden stories, etc. etc.
So, that's that. If you've liked these games before (as have I), you will like this one, but will probably feel a slight tinge of disappointment. If these games have not appealed to you, don't buy this one, unless you really like Batman.

When I pre-ordered this game, I was extremely excited to get this game home. After popping the disk in I was extremely disappointed. The graphics are impressive, but the game play lags. Each level feels like your playing the same level just different scenery and a different villain. After playing Lego: indiana Jones (which was excellent) I was sorely disappointed. I think that more effort could have been used in putting this game together.
