    It's hard to not like this game. As the first game brought the Lego Universe in to High Definition, the second brings another milestone with talking characters. This time we know WHY characters are doing things. The story makes sense, which makes me less confused and much happier than I was with the first game.

The story makes sense, which makes me less confused and much happier than I was with the first game. However they did not do much in changing the story mode gameplay, if anything the new suits were just "okay" and most the events felt predictable. The real gem here is the HUB where we casually navigate around in all Lego Games, however Tell Tale gives us 500sq miles of Lego bricks to explore and roam freely. Even as some of DCs most powerful heroes. Just flying as Superman with John Williams classic music fades in is a great experience. Hear the full review on the podcast;

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's a lot to like about Lego Batman 2. There are voices for the characters for the first time, and most of the voice acting is pretty good. Fantastically HUGE hub-world. Largest of any Lego game so far. Stuff to actually DO in the hub-world-----there are Batman or Robin single-person challenges across all of Gotham. These are varied and a lot of fun. Character abilities are varied and make you NEED to open and unlock other characters to solve puzzles. Yes, I actually CHEERED when I FINALLY unlocked Aquaman! Girl supers!!!!! Girl villains!!!!! YEAH!!! And the storyline is fantastic. We see the whole caper, how it goes down, why Bats needs Justice League help, and we are treated to the really interesting dynamic of Dour Batman, Cheerful Robin, and Insufferable Superman.

    There's a lot to not like though, too. There are voices for the characters for the first time, and some of the voice acting is really bad!!! I think Wonder Woman chain-smokes, and I want to punch Hal Jordan in the face---of course, that could be because I still haven't forgiven Hal Jordan for Crisis on Infinite Earths..... The races aren't so much "racing" as they are "completely unforgiving precision movement time-eaters". But the back-breaker for me is the girls. The girls are mostly useless and that is SO disappointing. Huntress has NOTHING to make her stand out except a cross-bow. She can't use ANY of Batman or Robin's equipment AT ALL. Wonder Woman is invulnerable, strong,and can fly, but Superman has x-ray vision and frost breath, so you'll use him even in free-play. Same goes for Hawkgirl----mask, mace, flight-----you'll want to go with Superman. Black Canary is almost useful because of her Canary Cry smashing glass-----BUT..... Man-Bat has that AND he can fly. You'll use Man-Bat. The super-villanesses are even more useless. Catwoman is just Huntress with a whip. NOTHING to offer from her in Free Play. Harley was awesome in the last game, but with flight added in you just don't need her high-jumps (which Clayface can do anyway WITH super-strength). You'll need Poison Ivy to get into some special areas in free play. This makes her useful for exactly 6 minutes of the game.

    But what about Supergirl? She's Superman's cousin! She can do ANYTHING Superman can! She can fly, vision powers, super-strength, frost-breath, invulnerable!!!! And you unlock her when......YOU'VE BEATEN THE GAME AND DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I could almost.....ALMOST.....forgive this. Because at least I got to unlock Batgirl. In the last game she could do anything and wear anything that Batman could, all while wearing amazing bat-shaped yellow boots. I loved her so much. I was so looking forward to playing through all of free-play with the Lady of the Night....... Except...... SHE CAN'T WEAR ANY OF BATMAN'S EQUIPMENT!!!!!! No explosive suit, no sensor suit, no electricity suit, no sonic flight suit! NOTHING. She is Huntress with a batarang. Nothing more. The single coolest character in the first game, completely, uselessly nerfed.

    FEH!

    There are girl gamers out there. There are girl comic book lovers out there. WE DO EXIST! And we LIKE to play girls. WHAT is the purpose of DELIBERATELY nerfing ALL of the girls? Verdict: Don't buy this game now. Wait until it hits the half-price shelf 6+ months from now. It's worth a play-through at half price. A SINGLE play-through. But frankly, while you are looking at the half-price shelf, you'll probably find one of the other Lego games. Unless it says "Clone Wars", buy it instead.    … Expand

    My cousin and I were excited to sit down and tackle this game. I'm not a huge fan of the Lego series of games, I find them to be a bit simplistic - and as well they should be, since they are targeted for a younger audience. I enjoy the humor and the cut scenes, but the gameplay becomes repetitive quick.

I enjoy the humor and the cut scenes, but the gameplay becomes repetitive quick. We were both extremely disappointed at how long it took for us to unlock a character besides Batman & Robin, and you have to beat the story mode before you can really delve into your options. By that point, we had lost interest and there is not a lot of pay off for running around and exploring Gotham. It felt boring even as the Flash or Green Lantern. In the end, it just made us a long for a proper Justice League game.… Expand

    PROS: What' you'd expect from a Lego game; good range of powers spread among characters; good sense of humor (though not as good as some of the other Lego titles by TT).
    CONS: Voice acting is terrible; short story mode most of the unlocking happens Gotham proper, not the stories; map scanner makes unlockables too easy to find.

    Вторая часть стала лучше первой, но до нормальной игры ещё очень далеко:(
    Графика стала лучше лишь улучшением сглаживания.
    Геймплей один в один в уровнях, но нам добавили открытый мир… вот это поворот! Открытый мир работает в виде от третьего лица, отойдя от изометрии в классических сюжетных уровнях и это радует, так как идея нова для серии, но реализация безобразная.

    Открытый мир работает в виде от третьего лица, отойдя от изометрии в классических сюжетных уровнях и это радует, так как идея нова для серии, но реализация безобразная. Перемещаться на транспорте нереально из-за ублюдского управления, ходить пешком невероятно долго и единственный вариант летать за Супермена или другого летающего персонажа… спойлер - от такого полёта вы рискуете словить не один фейспалм! Дело в том, что коллекционные предметы рассыпаны по опенворлду и достать часть из них можно только летая и подлетать надо с ювелирной точностью, потому что иначе персонажа разворачиваем от цели и приходится по-новой пытаться, как же это тупо. Я не так часто матерюсь, но в такие моменты отрывался только в путь и да простят меня родственники (особенно мамы) разработчиков, я не всерьёз - вы замечательные женщины:)
    В открытом мире придумали интересные зоны с челленджами, выполнив которые можно получить коллекционки. Идея отличная, но начало половины таких участков очень сложно найти, так как геймдизайн корявый, сделанный на скорую руку, впрочем как обычно - количество наше всё, а качество… да кому оно вообще нужно, а детям пофиг, ведь Бэтмен умеет говорить брутальным голосом, как в фильмах Нолана: «где детонатор?»!
    Это не сиквел, это та же первая часть с очень спорным открытым миром между миссиями, то есть максимум Бэтмен 1.5
    Цена игры на старте как всегда завышена, ведь это что-то вроде модификации к оригинальной игре, и если бы я купил её, то за заявленный прайс, то был бы не рад, но её раздали в Game Pass, так что нормально.
    5 из 10 за то, что в целом играть можно, даже порой весело и изобретательно, но таких моментов в игре по пальцам пересчитать.    … Expand

    The sequel to the first Lego Batman game has a great story to tell but what it offers beyond that is mediocre. For the first time ever in a lego game the characters actually talk unlike the old lego games. The character and vehicle roster is good not the best but it still holds up.

For the first time ever in a lego game the characters actually talk unlike the old lego games. The character and vehicle roster is good not the best but it still holds up. The level design is really mediocre but this game has a new feature. Power ups for Batam and Robin, for example. You can turn into a bomber Batman that shoots bombs or turn into an electric robin that shoots lighting. You turn into these costumes when you chose Batman and Robin, sadly it only works on these two. The hub area is a big disappointment. Yes the tasks are sometimes fun to complete but the area it self is dark and sometimes you can’t see anything, I would have loved a larger and brighter city. Overall Lego Batman 2 doesn’t really overcome the old lego Batman it rather introduces new elements and fail to accomplish it. (2/5 Mediocre Play It If Your A Fan Of The Series)… Expand

    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'. It's a grind though, so I think I'll sit the next few Lego games out while I regain the stamina to go through it all again. And I will go through it again.

    It's hard to fault Lego Batman 2, but it's hard to get very excited about it either. [Sept 2012, p.79]
