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.
LEGO BATMAN characters have individual moves, Batman for example can put baddies in a choke hold and throw them. An exciting addition to LEGO combat is the BATARANG, which will lock on targets for distance attacks. Introduced also, are special suits for Batman and Robin, these make certain combinations of characters a necessity for passing stages or solving puzzles...... Read more ›

A Kid's Review

3.0 out of 5 stars
I am a twelve year old who bought this game with high expectations. I figured I'd enjoy it because I loved the Lego Starwars and Indiana Jones. When I got it, I couldn't wait to play and started instantly. The first time you play it in story mode, it's throughly enjoyable. But when you get done with all the levels in story and go to freeplay, it loses some of its excitement. And by the time you have most of the levels done, it's just plain old bland. But before you get to this point, there are two sets of levels to get through, hero and villain. You do hero missions in the Batcave and Villain missions in Arkahm asylum. To unlock Arkham asylum, you must first play through five hero levels, (taking about an hour and a half) a feature I found annoying because I wanted to do villain missions. I didn't enjoy this game and wouldn't reccomend it at full price. But why don't you decide for yourself? Here are the pros and cons of the game.
Cons:
Bad camera angle, sometimes you can hardly see what you're doing.
Villains can't go in the Batcave, and heros can't go in Arkham asylum.
Your side kick is a half wit. Dense as a brick.
There is too much character switching involved. For example, you are the Joker and need to get a door open so you switch to Poison Ivy. You then switch back to the Joker only to find that you need Robin to climb a wall.
Enemy reinforcements are infinite. You are in perpetual battle and have a hard time achieving anything.
But wait! Don't get discouraged yet, here are the pros:
New and interesting puzzles to solve.
A variety of characters to choose from.
Flying, driving and sailing mission along with regular missions.

My kids love this game and play it constantly. There is so much to do and you never get bored with the same old thing like in half the games I own. I would recommend this game to anyone with little kids or older kids alike. It really engages my son to problem solve, which he had a hard time doing before. Great game highly recommended!

This is the third TT lego project, after star wars and indiana jones. If you have gotten to batman, you have probably played one or both of the two. You can expect a lot of the same. The game definitely appeals to the completists, those who are trying to find all of the pieces to the various kits, which, once you get through the game on the initial run, is pretty much what's left. So if you like hunting for those pieces, this game will entertain you for hours and hours - it's pretty long, much longer than indy at 30 episodes, and some are quite long. I do have to say that this game is a little easier than previous lego efforts on piece hunting (some of the red bricks are downright easy to find!) This time around, you get mostly the same two characters with suit changes/upgrades, which is a nice twist, but makes it a little crazy with free play flipping through your options.
The lack of direct movie tie-in is both disappointing and charming - if you are familiar enough with the batman legacy, you will recognize chunks from previous shows and movies rather than, say indiana jones which basically follows the movies. It lacks a real story, but seeing the various chunk smashed together in one video game is entertaining for me.
The controls are not that interesting. I find the wii batarang a little annoying to game play.
After playing all three lego video games, I would recommend the star wars first, this second, and indy third, mostly due to length.

Like the game but came without case or instructions. My son loves the lego games though so it balances out.
