    Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes isn't groundbreaking but it is consistently fun, and while it might not take top honours for best Batman game of all time (that belt is still held by Batman: Arkham City), it's easily the best Lego game we've seen in years.

    LEGO Batman is unique from past titles in the building blocks' franchise. The story isn't based off a movie or even a comic-book plot. This is an original tale. That gives Traveller's Tales some latitude, since there's no need to follow a well-known plot. There isn't even a direct tie-in to a particular Batman universe.

It translates well into LEGO, though I wonder if the original four movies wouldn't have made for better source material.… Expand

    My biggest complaint is the split screen in this mode (missions are no problem)... though to be honest 16:9 really doesn't give you much to work with. It splits the screen down the middle. Mathematically it makes sense. However, it gives you absolutely ZERO peripheral vision. Finding things is all but impossible. Perhaps they should have adjusted the FOV when in this mode to allow for more peripheral. Kids don't care. It bothers me.    … Expand

    Probably the best Lego game since the first Star Wars offering. While the story mode itself is a bit short, the biggest blast of the game is without a doubt the open world wandering. I tried to plow through the story just to get to it, use Superman as my main bro. Oh, you are a bat robot in the 25th century. Hit a level 12 freeze problem that took a few hours out of my life...

    The post game felt short due to being able to fly to certain golden bricks and switch to the character needed to open the container if possible, but the hub world was large and alive with randomly generated events and boss fights with everyone from the Mad Hater to General Zod.

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

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

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

    receive the award - they are attacked by the Joker and other villains: from there, Bruce appears as    "Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" a game produced by Tell Tale (The Walking Dead, Monkey Island, Fable) of the famous LEGO games franchise. The story of the game begins with the Man of the Year award, in Gotham City, where the 2 runner ups are Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor, and where Bruce will
    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

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

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.

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

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

    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.

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.

    This game is quite poor as it doesn't have a batman feel like the first one, it also includes other dc heroes causing a messed up story line.

    Gimicky, Boring, and downright STUPID sums up this 'game', if you could call it that. The game was designed to sell toys and nothing more, so if your kids enjoy this gimmicky stuff, buy them actual legos. Don't waste money on this, or any other lego games.

    I'm a huge fan of lego games, but this one specifically is pure thrash. The amount of bugs, renderization issues, bad camera angles and loading freezes is out of this world. This piece of **** tilted me for real. The Studio managed to create a multiplayer game that is basically Impossible to play with someone Else. If the game was bad playing solo, let alone with another player. Total garbage.

    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.
