LEGO Batman

We purchased Lego Batman for our kids as a Christmas gift and both our 5-year-old Son and 7-year-old Daughter love it. My Son loves Batman and this game certainly wasn't disappointing. There are so many boards to complete and puzzles to figure out and many different vehicles to drive. There are also unlockable characters so your kids can pick which character to be. This is a sure win with the kids. I have uploaded a few screen shots so you can see more of the game.

This is a great game. It is better than the other Lego games. I am the mom and I think it is a lot of fun!

Having played through all of the complete Lego Star Wars, this game was a disappointment. Costing twice as much as Lego Star Wars, it's about 1/10th the length. Being a bigger fan of Batman than Star Wars, you'd think I'd like this game better, but there's not much to like.

The characters are mostly boring, where you basically have a hero with suits, most of which do very little except to allow you to get to places you wouldn't get to otherwise, or you have boring villain characters. The only remotely fun characters in the entire game to play are Poison Ivy, Joker, and Mr. Freeze.

It also seems like there are a lot more bugs in this game compared to Lego Star Wars. I've fallen through things so much that it got really annoying. Suit upgrades that don't work any more even though they're bought (extra target upgrades for batarang and bombs). Or going through walls and falling, or the game on autosave not saving, causing us to lose about 3 hours of play time. Three hours of play time is a lot in this game, because it only took about 10 hours to get through 70% of the game.

This game is ultimately very short, doesn't have extra challenges like in Lego Star Wars (blue canisters), I still can't access the bonus stages even though we got 70%+ completed, the story is silly at best, with maybe 2-3 good story scenes in the entire game. The suit upgrades etc are also fairly pointless. Flaming boomerang that's just really there for aesthetic reasons, really weak sonic suit upgrades, etc.

With this little content and this many bugs, it should only be at most half the price of Lego Star Wars, but for some reason, it's more than twice its cost.

Due to the reviews, I didn't want to buy Lego's Batman, but my son finally prevailed. I'm finding that, like most movie reviewers, I am in the minority. We love this game! We have spent so much time just laughing and doing crazy things that are not part of the mission. It's more fun than Indiana Jones or Star Wars. And, overall, it's our favorite family video game.

My son and nephews cannot stop playing this game, it is almost an unhealthy addiction. :D Almost...
