LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame

Nothing beats this. Best Lego game imo. Game mechanics are dated, but they are beginner friendly. Graphics are also dated but the high resolution makes up for it. The soundtack is also another highlight. Please, give this one a try. 9.5/10

I bought this game to play with my kids, and all it ever does is crash. We haven't been able to make it past the first level due to the crashing.

Even after reassigning the keys the controls are just bad. On the first screen I tried to climb a ladder which became almost impossible because of the angle Batman tries to climb up. I fell a lot. If you have a controller maybe it's all right, but with Mouse and Keyboard it's a nightmare. Dropped.

My 6 year old daughter is so keen of the game, all the gamepads are so well supported out of the box, the tutorial embedded in the first level is so intuitive, the levels to go through are so diverse and colourful. So why scoring the game by a modest two stars mark ? I only slightly overstate when saying that its enough to press "B" button (the one which slams everything/everybody) to go ahead with no main problem. Try it, this is the way it works : keeping "B" pushed, Batman or Robin will turn by themselves to the next waves of foes and crush them all, automatically. You don't have to touch the d-pad. Well, basically, a monkey could go through the levels nearly as efficiently as a regular player. Smashing everything up which goes under your punches, this is your line ; a flower ? smash it ! ; a street light ? smash it ! ; a bench ? ; smash it ! Whatever might stand along your way, you'd better to do the maximum damage, without such a rampage, do not expect to get enough Lego© bricks to complete the level. It's all like the Vilains are more peaceful in the city and respectful of its infrastructure than the Heros ! For an adult, such a gameplay is quite boring : it takes half an hour to understand that accuracy of your actions won't get rewarded, it's enough to wreck everything and go ahead. For a child, the game acts more like a long beautiful kinematics where he/she drives a character than a game where managing the gameplay is the key to win. All in all, I do not wish I would not have bought it, as the game is perfect for my daughter to have fun with. But it fails to make her progress through a learning curve.
