Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes


Hello Gamers!

Today I’ll talk about Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes.

In this game you return as billionaire Bruce Wayne, and alongside Robin and Superman you thwart the Jokers schemes and Luthor’s plots to overthrow Gotham. You play through stunning levels and great plot devices while achieving more and more characters, usually through gold bricks laid throughout Gotham. This game has a couple great features about it, first off- it’s big, I mean really big, I mean if you were to guide off of Wayne Towers towards the other edge of the map, Amusement mile it would take a good ten minutes, and that’s going pretty fast. Flying will get you there in about five minutes, if you’re quick. Another nice detail to the game is the villain unlock system, what happens when you want to unlock a villain, find a villain, fight him or her, and if you come out on top, you’ve earned the right to play as that character. This is a very nice way of unlocking them, apart from getting them from a level (which is moot because none of them are in many levels).

This game left a lot to be desired though, I found the other superheroes disappointing by just joining the game for the final three levels, and only having minor roles in the story. All you need the heroes for is to solve puzzles in the level. The game was big, but there didn’t seem like lots of story opportunities namely involving Gotham besides a building being exploded, and a climax chase in the streets. Nothing of that was spoiling anything if you haven’t played the game. Another point I’d like to raise is that I didn’t like how the villains were not used, or explained in the story. How did they appear in Gotham? Why they are there, and why stay? Was it Joker or Lex who brought them into Gotham like some Arkham City excuse? Whatever the answers, they aren’t in the game and I count that against them.

Quite honestly though, this game was very enjoyable, between its open world driving, flying, boating. And it’s ability to let your person fly, whether it be Superman or Sinestro, this game is worth the buy. The game is a very adequate follow up to the classic Lego Batman, and reflects the awesomeness of the producers of all Lego Games
