LEGO Batman: The Videogame (Nintendo DS, 2008)

If you liked LEGO Star Wars and LEGO INDY, then LEGO BATMAN is already in your Wii....'nuff said. If you didn't like them...you won't like BATMAN...if you didn't try them, you should.

The LEGO games are fun for the whole family, young and old, the animated LEGO movie links to the gaming threads are wild & wicked and worth the purchase on their merits alone. The format for Batman is much like the Lucasfilm game sets, just not directly connected to any particular movies...although (thankfully) the Danny Elfman music (circa 1989) runs throughout the game, the style is generic Batman via LEGO LAND. The villains have teamed up to escape Arkham Asylum and the Dynamic Duo must stop them...each villain has a story arc to unlock, before free play is possible in the related locations...so like the previous installments, replay value is high, you can return to the story setting later as several optional characters including the villians themselves in order to find hidden "trophies" to build in Wayne Manor (part of the Batcave hub, where menus, story progress and unlockables lie). This way the same tales have many variations for players to explore, collecting the coin-like "studs" as currency for upgrades and unlockables. There's roughly about 30 separate levels to play, 15 in the hero chapters and 15 levels i the villain chapters.

This video game is very user friendly. All of the necessary moves and special abilities of each character are explained as play progresses. The multiplayer function lets the player play with one other person. I would recommend this video game to others.
I really like most of the "Lego" style games for the DS. I especially like this one. My 8 year old granddaughter, and 8 year old and 10 year old grandsons also like it. When ever they visit, they ask to play it. I decided that it would be fun to have an other cartridge on hand to enable us to play the multi-player option.
This is especially entertaining.

This video game is very user friendly. Explaining along the way all of the necessary moves and special abilities of each character. Allows multiplayer so that you can play with one other person. The demise of the enemy by legos falling apart is also a nice benefit of the lego games. I would recommend this video game to others.

I have this game and also Lego Starwars and I have been blown away by the 'fun factor' that seems missing in most games. This is a great brain engaging game that I have NO PROBLEM letting my kids play for hours at a time (though not days!!)

In Lego Batman, you can play as either good (batman and robin) or evil (EVERY ASSORTMENT of Gothams worst) as you complete your mini-quests. If you are the exploring type, you can unlock bonuses and extras that continue to make the game interesting. For instance, there are 'Keys' that you need to unlock in areas of the game. Once you find the keys, you can go back and replay the areas you have already played using the keys to grant access to other areas of the game. Fun, Fun, FUN!!

If you are the Puzzle-Action type, don't hesitate to pick up this amazing game!!

This game is super fun for me as the mom as well as for my 7 year old daughter! My 4 year old son even loves to sit ad watch us play! A great game for the whole family to play! We have wanted this game for a while, but waited till the price was right! Don't wait like we did, a great game at any price!
