Those folks at Lego did it again Print E-mail

The newest installment in the Lego video game series did what Lego does best: take a popular movie franchise, add a little comic mischief and turn it into a pretty entertaining video game.
Following the success of the previous “Lego Star Wars” and “Lego Indiana Jones” titles, “Lego Batman” is a fun for all-ages game that can be played for hours without getting old.
Featuring everyone’s favorite heroes, Batman and Robin, a few of their trusty side-kicks, a slew of popular (and a few not so familiar) enemies and a ton of sweet vehicles and weapons, this game is better than a lot of stuff out there today.
There are two game-play modes, one storyline focusing on the hero characters and the other on the villains. With so many different aspects in each mode, the game doesn’t get boring very quickly.
There are always things to build, secret treasures to find and butts to kick. It seems like most games today can be beat within a few hours — something that doesn’t make the game worth keeping for any extended period of time, unless its multi-player with great online play, which is also becoming rare.
This game is fun to play with others, not only because of the hilarity that typically ensues, but because it makes things a lot easier. It’s always best to have a sidekick with a brain rather than a sidekick that’s just being controlled by a computer.
Overall, the game’s a keeper. There’s always something you can go back to do or find before you beat the game 100 percent.
Plus, it’s a good laugh with friends if you’re bored on a Saturday.
“Lego Batman” is available for practically every console available for retail sale today (PS3, PS2, PSP, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PC and Xbox 360).
