    Continues to be fun like all the other lego games. The open world is better than in previous games. They also finally figured out how to get the vehicles to be bearable.

They also finally figured out how to get the vehicles to be bearable. Except the flying vehicles which still suck. The flying characters aren't that bad but for some reason the controls vary whether you're indoors or out.

    The game itself is shorter than the other games being only 15 levels. It is also really just about chasing Joker/Luthor. There is no variety to the missions and the final multi-level boss battle is way too long. With some much possibility using all the DC heroes the overall story was perhaps the worst of the series. Basically you'll play Batman or Superman through the entire game making the rest of the cast useless. The JL didn't even get involved until the final mission or 2 making them completely pointless. So much potential lost... To add insult to injury you also are forced to use the Boy Blunder more often then you'd like because he has a skill or too (which makes no sense at all) that is required for certain areas. Nobody likes playing BB so why make us do so?

    Some of the game's puzzles seem harder than they were in past games. It is like the devs went out of their way to find bizarre solutions to puzzles just to add "challenge". Since the Lego games are designed for younger audiences I fail to see how the devs figure kids will solve the puzzles.

    Finally the whole voice thing is something I don't like at all. One of the key features of the Lego series has always been reading the actions of the characters and figuring out your own captions. Now the characters talk (some of them horribly) and a lot of that Lego humor is lost. I don't mind if the devs wanted to add the voice but please give us the option of turning off voice and just letting the chars act out like they use to do. I understand the next Lego game will have talking chars so hopefully the devs will add this option in. I want my Lego chars silent and funny.    … Expand

Perhaps they should have adjusted the FOV when in this mode to allow for more peripheral. Kids don't care. It bothers me.    … Expand

    This is a great game but I can't help thinking they could have used a few more month to work out some of the bugs. The one thing to know is that these lego games may be made for kids but they are the number one game for couples and the difficulty here really shows that.

However kids will love it and if you play with a child or younger sibling you may have fun too. The levels themselves are simplistic and i found i got burned out pretty quickly. The real charm in this game is the endless secrets and collectibles which require you to unlock more characters and go back to old levels. In lieu of small hubs in the previous games like the star wars cantina this game has full gotham city to explore, smash and rebuild. I'd say it's as close ot Grand Theft Lego as we're likely to get. You can fly around as superman, run at superspeed as flash or drive around in batman's many vehicles to find secrets and battle supervillians to unlock them for use. I guess they join the Suicide Squad? Speaking of comic references this game has them in spades. There are plenty of funny bits making fun of the batman mythology. The story is actually pretty funny as well. Lex Luthor and the Joker have a(i think) purposely ridiculous plot worthy of the legion of doom. Batman hates Superman and Robin idolizes him. The voices are decent but i was missing the cast from the cartoons. The soundtrack... meh. They had a nice version of the batman movie theme but they used it way too much. Also whenever you fly as Superman in Gotham it plays he john williams theme which sounds nice but it gets really annoying. The single huge issue i have with this game, besides being tedious which can be avoided by taking breaks is that the split screen is completley obnoxious. it jumps around seemingly at random. Sometimes your screen will be on the left even though you're all the way on the right... it's awful and hell on the eyes. But otherwise, it's a good game which kids will love and adults can enjoy.… Expand

Justice League: very well blended into the game to aid Batman from time to time. Each hero has their own unique supernatural abilities which make this game more of a blast to play. Freedom: Gotham City can be free roamed in between missions which is great due to the fact that you have access to Batman's vehicles such as the Bat Mobile.

This game is great for anyone to play on their own, or even better with a friend. A nice distraction and/or alternative from the overwhelming violence that is seen in the majority of games nowadays. The talking Minifigs, to which I was initially unsure about, turns out to be a stand out for LEGO Batman 2. Each character is funny and memorable (And Clancy Browns reprisal as Lex Luthor is top-notch). The Open World Hub is easily the most satisfying gameplay of the game. With the highest amount of Gold Bricks ever: 250 (Surpassing HP 5-7 at 200), Citizens in Peril and 50 Classic DC characters to find and unlock (Not as many as 5-7, respectively, because of a smaller original cast), I will continue to play this game for many more weeks. Also, each main character has his/er own special atributes to give to the gameplay. I can't tell you how awesome it felt like to take off as Superman, head vertically upwards, and slowly hear the Superman Theme (John Williams) creep in through the speakers. I found very few flaws, and none of them took away from the overall effect of the game. Co-op makes a return and is better than ever before, the sleek dynamic split-screen system is back in the Story Missions, and allows for players to explore Gotham City to their hearts content. Parents, if you or your children like DC Comics, and love to have a good laugh, this game must be at he top of your list. A Simply Magnificent Game.… Expand

This is by far the best Lego Game to-date. These games have been sorely lacking for voice acting, this adds much value to the game. The visuals are bright and colorful, good graphics but do not expect Arkham City. I do not like the split screen, I will deal with it playing with my kids but it will give you vertigo, better off playing single player. The gameplay is fun, light combat, lots of puzzles, nice variety. Lots and lots of characters to unlock which will take some time, you are very limited to characters for use in Story mode in part due to needing certain characters for the puzzles. I cannot wait to unlock more of the characters, but you are definitely going to favor the ones that can fly. Some are also going to disapoint, Gorilla Grod has no abilities whatsoever, is standard size and nothing special to look at. There are several vehicle chase combat scenes that although colorful, are a chore. They are On Rail shooter sections that would have greatly benefited from allowing you to drive. Also, another knock is the map, it does not show which direction you are facing, takes a few seconds to access the map completely pausing gameplay and is quite confusing. I also believe that more effort needs to go into the Boss/Character battles, they are too simplistic. All of this is from an adults perspective, this is a fantastic game for all kids and definitely fun for parents, I just can't help comparing to Arkham City which is one of the best games I have ever played. In closing, I am pointing out details that everyone is going to experience, but it does not hold this back from being every bit a Fun and Addictive experience. Lego Batman 2 rocks!… Expand

    This is not only a brilliant Lego game but also a brilliant superhero game. There is a massive variety in characters to choose from ranging from the different varieties of Batman to the invincible Martian Manhunter. The open world style gives the series a revamp and Gotham is incredibly fun to explore. Finally, the voices definitely add to the humour.

Lego Batman 2 can now rub shoulders (well elbows anyway) alongside the Star Wars and Indiana Jones titles in my collection.

    I loved every bit of this game. the free play Gotham sections were SO much fun, especially once Supeman made an appearance. The ability to fly around a dark Gothic Gotham, visiting Wayne towers and the ace chemical plant was a hoot.

    The Lego games have changed very little over the years and the addition of voice actors for this title didn't really make much difference to my enjoyment of it. The formula the developers have stumbled upon really is a winning one and unlocks in everyone the primal NEED to collect every last little thing available, every stud, brick and minikit didn't stand a chance once I entered a level. Two player split screen also adds a great co-op side to the game.

    All in all it took just over 7 hours to get the rather less than elusive 100% butt the sense of achievement you get once it's done makes up for the lack of difficulty.

    Now travellers tales take on the mighty Lord of The Rings trilogy. After this last little jaunt my hopes are high. Please, please TT don't let me down for this one.    … Expand

    Never before have I enjoyed a LEGO game so much that I'd play it over and over again. While their cute charm and funny non-dialogue cutscenes may entertain me, I've never actually spent much time on one of these little games. All of that changed after I picked up a copy of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super heroes.

While their cute charm and funny non-dialogue cutscenes may entertain me, I've never actually spent much time on one of these little games. All of that changed after I picked up a copy of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super heroes.

    -Before the Game-
    Before I picked up a copy of this game, I'd seen a few trailers for it and did a further research of its content. After hearing that this LEGO game had a full voice acting cast, and not just little grunts and screams, I was... utterly disappointed, actually. Part of what made the previous LEGO games enjoyable were that there was no dialogue, but little signs and pictures that went along with the grunting so that you could follow along to the story. However, with this news, my expectations for the game were truly lowered.

    Okay, time for the review.

    -Gameplay-
    The gameplay of this game is almost identical to that of none other than LEGO Batman: The Video Game. With punching and kicking, along with picking enemies up and throwing them, this game has the new addition of adding finishes to the moves, by pressing a button to finish off the enemy. Also, along with the classic run/walking, the Open-Worlded Gotham City features a full-out sprint which really helps to get to where you need to go. I really love the gameplay of this game. Like its processor, the gameplay is kid-friendly with no blood or gore, but just little bricks falling apart.

    -Story/Voice Cast-
    This part of the review will contain my thoughts about both the story itself and the voice acting as well. The story is so much easier to follow with the voice acting crew. I had expected the voice acting to be lousy and having the actors not really fit their roles, but it was extremely impressive! You can completely tell that the cast had fun working on this game, and all of the actors and actresses truly fit their roles perfectly. Unlike Arkham City, Harley Quinn sounds cute and not annoying, Joker is actually funny when he pulls out one-liners that made me chuckle, and Lex Luthor's voice actor Clancy Brown reprising his role is one of the best things since Mark Hamill in Arkham City! I'm truly impressed with the storyline. The game keeps itself at a fabulous pace and never seems boring at all.

    -Graphics-
    The graphics in this game look really cool. Unlike the previous game, the metal actually shines, buildings look realistic, the rainwater on the ground actually holds reflections, and the details of the heroes' capes actually look like their made of fabric! I really enjoy the graphics in this game, and think that they've improved over slightly unrealistic graphics of past LEGO games.

    -Setting-
    Wow. That's literally all I can say about the setting. This is the first LEGO game to feature an Open-World. The Gotham City includes missions to complete, bricks to collect, villains to fight, and citizens to save. Featuring iconic Batman locations such as Gotham Cathedral, Wayne Tower, and Arkham Asylum, this raging 500 square mile city has kept me busy for hours, and most likely hours to come. However, the Open-World aspect is the source of all the game's issues. None of them ruined the game, but are rather minor little details that seemed a bit rushed. For example, the mini map of Gotham is completely confusing. You can scan the area for the villains, vehicles, and bricks to collect, but there's no way to actually zoom in on these things and completely pinpoint their locations besides placing a marker on the area which appears on the compass. Oh, right, speaking of the compass, that is absolutely, downright awful. It moves around so fast, and the little pictures don't exactly tell which locations they are. However, other than that, there were no glitches or issues.

    -Verdict-
    Okay, besides the little minor issues in the Open-World, I love this game. LEGO threw out the charm of the old LEGO games and made the Open-World as a Grand Theft Auto-meets-LEGO type thing. This game will drastically change the upcoming LEGO games, and will hopefully make the improvements it needs.

    The voice acting cast could have destroyed the game, but it actually made it amazing. I think that all of these voice actors did a great job, which is why I give my compliments to them.

    The game's graphics are great. The developers put a lot of effort and detail into it, more than any other LEGO game.

    I will be playing this game for much longer. I've never played a LEGO game like it, and in my opinion, it deserves a good score.

    receive the award - they are attacked by the Joker and other villains: from there, Bruce appears as Batman and begins the game - and there is already a hint of Lex Luthor will join Joker.

    The Graphics are improved: the structures and Legos have their classic appearance, but with details of texture and reflections of things around them are very good, with the sensation are made of plastic. The game scenarios graphics are good, but are always more detailed in close up, and not so much in the distance, which become more blurred. Gotham City has the aspect of a dark city, always in night, with constant light effects.

    Audio: the talking Legos are a nice change introduced, and I think that this gave the story and joke lines more interest. Almost everything in the CG are dubbed with original voices of actors from movies and cartoons, then obviously there is no complaints in that department, which is
    impeccable. The voices appear in all segments that tell the story, ie, the CG, and some characters speak in stages.

    The general feeling os the game is in a kind of funny tone (of course), and resemble a mixture of personalities from the Batman and Justice League animated series with the Batman movies of the 90s. The jokes are greatly improved with the use of dialogue. The songs used are the classic ones from the series and movies, with orchestral music as the theme of Batman and Superman.

    The gameplay is what we see in recent Lego games (especially Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean) merged with what we saw the first Lego Batman: stages in closed scenarios where you can destroy structures for credits, and destroy other objects that help to beat the stage and bonus items, while other bonuses are only accessible afterwards, with other powers given by different characters or other clothing.

    Of course as always we find the various collectibles that are part of all games (eg, gold bricks, vehicles, rescue). Moreover, we can play as in all other Lego games, in Coop, on the same console, which always is fun and convenient, since many stages require coordination of the 2 characters. Compared with other Lego games, the scenarios are more complex and full of things.

    Among the story stages, that sometimes are very large (and high), we see stages of vehicles gameplay, where you drive one of them (or Superman) and must reach and knock down the targets, in action sequences. The narrative and stages are linear, but after beating the stage, you can use Free Roam in the Menus, to get the missing collectibles.

    Although I do not tested the open world mode, with Superman, I've read that in this mode the Coop becomes Slit-screen due to the fact that the two characters you can not keep the same display because of the size of the map.

    In general, I found this one of the best Legos games: sum the theme and variety of scenarios in the DC universe and a open and wide world, with good graphics (thought at distance they could be better), and with a nice humor, with best jokes and funny lines thanks to the use of voice in the game. For those who like Batman and DC Universe, the Lego game series or more casual games, this game is a very nice choice - I would recommend this game and the Pirates of the Caribbean as the best games of the LEGO franchise.    … Expand

    Lego Batman 2 is arguably the best Lego game yet.
    With an original story, voice actors, and an open world, Lego Batman 2 puts all other Lego games to shame.

    A great Lego game, possibly my favourite! The free roam is great fun and earning coins, achievements and unlocking characters is very easy giving you lots of freedom to fly, glide and ride across the map. The controls are the same as any other Lego game which makes starting the game that tiny bit easier. The story mode is not bad however but the freeroaming with friends makes for hoursA great Lego game, possibly my favourite!

    This game is an amazing lego game and one of my favourite games of all time but the reason why I rank this a 9 instead of 10 is because there wasn’t much diversity of characters in the story mode missions. It would always just be Batman and robin and sometimes Superman but other than that and the very final mission of the game with the justice league you coudnt be anyone else in the storyThis game is an amazing lego game and one of my favourite games of all time but the reason why I rank this a 9 instead of 10 is because there wasn’t much diversity of characters in the story mode missions. It would always just be Batman and robin and sometimes Superman but other than that and the very final mission of the game with the justice league you coudnt be anyone else in the story mode missions. What does help this though is the suits you can use for Batman and robin which I do like more than just picking characters that have the same abilities as other characters which make them useless, but I would have still like to use a bit more characters during the story. Other than the character situation everything else is perfect, the story makes sense and is enjoyable, there was a giant character roster for that time in lego games and I really enjoyed how you unlocked characters in that game, the map was really good and easy to locate certain area’s and overall this is a perfect game… Expand

Plot: Lex Luthor breaks the Joker and other imprisoned villians out of Arkham Asylum. He forms an alliance with the Joker in order to achieve his goals. Batman will team up with other DC heroes from the justice league such as Superman, and the Green Lantern in order to prevent Lex Luthor from achieving his evil goals. Justice League: very well blended into the game to aid Batman from time to time. Each hero has their own unique supernatural abilities which make this game more of a blast to play. Freedom: Gotham City can be free roamed in between missions which is great due to the fact that you have access to Batman's vehicles such as the Bat Mobile. My opinion: This is a great game, voice acting is top notch, and the graphics and story are so immersive you will forget that everything is made of Lego, as it will blend in so nicely with the game    … Expand

    STORY: It doesn't try to be anything deep like the Batman films but it is entertaining nevertheless with jokes and banters. The closet thing I can think of is the TV series Batman Brave and the Bold. It's got that kind of feel to it, not parody like the 1960s but not dark like the 90s BTAS. Batman has dry humor. He's serious; no one else is. This adds to the entertainment value.

    COMBAT:    STORY: It doesn't try to be anything deep like the Batman films but it is entertaining nevertheless with jokes and banters.

He's serious; no one else is. This adds to the entertainment value.

    COMBAT: Half of the game is breaking stuff. Half of the breaking stuff is combat (fighting Lego people i.e. bad guys). Most action games you have to punch a guy 10 times before they magically disappear; not in Legoland - er, Gotham. You punch a guy maybe 2-3 times and he breaks into pieces (literally ... because they're Legos; no blood). It's simple and fun. The other half of the breaking stuff is breaking random stuff because it's what you do in video games (and needed for puzzle solving).

    PUZZLES: The other half of the game is puzzles. You'll find yourself stuck a lot of times. After beating everyone in combat, you're not sure what to do next; this is when you have to use your head and think about the environment. It often boils down to this: 1) Are you wearing the right costume (Batman has different gadgets)? If not, change. 2) Have you broken everything you can? Breaking things sometimes reveal pieces you can then use to create something else, like a costumer changer thing or a staircase, which you'll need to get to the second floor or your next stop.

    Overall, it's a fun experience. You can ride the Batmobile around Gotham City to get to different missions, or you can switch to Robin from Batman (or whichever characters; they are many) and ride a motorbike instead. You can't die, which is a good thing because it means you can keep playing without a game over. The action is fun; the jumping around is fun. The action is interrupted by moments when you have to stop and think about what you need to do next to proceed so the game is part action, part puzzles, which is a pretty good combination for a Batman game.    … 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.
