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
