    It's lego. It's batman. It's exactly what you would expect. If you loved lego marvel, this almost feels like a bit like a sibling. Fun for everyone in the family.

    Hate to say the usual, but it's true: if you're a fan of the Lego games in general, you'll enjoy this one pretty much by default. As far as the DC Comics subject matter I have praise and I have nitpicks...

As far as the DC Comics subject matter I have praise and I have nitpicks...

    Praise: They fixed one my my biggest gripes with the other two Lego Batman games and that's the "suit swapping". In the older games, you'd have to swap Batman's outfit to get thru a mini-puzzle, but you could only do it at nearby changing stations, which got annoying. Now, they have the suits on a menu-wheel which you can swap out at anytime, as you unlock them. It's so much more convenient, and is a game-changer for me (I never did complete the other two Batman Lego games, partially because of this).

    Praise: There are a TON of characters to collect, which is always fun. They followed Marvel's lead (if only they could to that with their movies too) and have just about every main character you can think of!

    Praise: Not to spoil anything, but fans of Tron will be pleased with some of the puzzles.

    Nitpick: They use many of the mechanics from Marvel (probably can't be avoided) which is fine, but Alfred is the "Captain America" of this came using a serving tray!? That's just an insult to Cap, lol! Solomon Grundy plays the role of Hulk in this game with the innocent-dumbness - which anoys me, as Solomon Grundy is not supposed to be unintelligent (then again, with all the New 52 reboots, maybe I'm wrong... he was smart in Super Friends!). They also replace "Stan Lee in Peril" with "Adam West in Peril" lol.

    Nitpick: Why make Batman & Robin the central focus AGAIN? It's like DC has no faith in their own main brand or other characters. Just call is Lego DC Comics (just like "Lego Marvel Comics" did) and that way you can open up the story and levels to not be all about Batman again. Granted, the story progresses and you get more characters, but I rolled my eyes for the first hour of playing having to go thru all Batman stuff again with this new game.

    Nitpick: DLC on day one. Meh, unless we stop buying it, they'll keep doing this. Alternate outfits and extra levels which could easily fit on the disc. I get it, they do that to make money, but it would just be nice it DLC were actually add-ons that came later due to fans wanting more, and not preplanned as part of the money machine.

    Nitpick: Celebs. Conan O'Brien and Kevin Smith? Geoff Johns? Stan Lee in the Marvel game I get, as Stan's an icon OF Marvel, and has cameo'd in comics, cartoons, and the movies. Why do I get Geoff Johns instead of another DC character or alternate costume? Weird.    … Expand

    LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham improves upon LEGO Batman 2 but forgets about open-world

    + Character roster
    + Great Story
    + Suits
    + Locations

    - Not open-world focused
    - Feels like a little step back

    We bought the game, Lego Batman Deluxe Digital with Season Pass included on Xbox Ultimate Game Sale for $13.75. Great deal, fun game, lots of content! The best graphics of any Lego game so far. Nothing super new or original so I am giving it an 8. So, so glad they started adding voice actors on the last Lego Batman game, it adds so much to the story sequences and in-game audio.

    Though it looks good and plays well, the use of DC heroes is lacking and the levels are too obscure at times. [Jan 2015, p.79]

    Batman goes beyond Gotham, but the LEGO gameplay stays close to home.

    Unlike some of the better previous titles like LEGO Batman 2 and LEGO Marvel, LEGO Batman 3 feels more claustrophobic, smaller in scale and lacks that open feel that the aforementioned titles gave us.
