    Just like the other Lego games, this is a perfect game for Co-op play and there are never enough of those. Especially a game that can be enjoyed by all ages. I play with my sons and we have a BLAST!

    The game could use a little more direction as its very easy to miss the point of a puzzle and get irritated before you figure it out. But apart from that, its a great fun game for the whole family.

    No Co-op over xbox live. Very glitchy so far. I am trying to fight clayface and it won't let me switch back to Batman who is stuck in a red car shellshocked like that horse in "The Big Red One". I put in all that work and now I have to do it all over. Thanks, but no thanks. The lego games are all basically the same thing with a new coat of paint. Cute I guess, but very flawed.

    Not more of the same. There is new stuff here. Playing the story as villians is pretty darn cool.

    My 5 years old son simply loves this game, as he has loved all of those tt's LEGO titles. I really hope there's more to come. Great game to play even by myself. Very well worth of money.

    Its a good game suprisingly. The only bad thing is that its too repetitive and gameplay doesnt really feature that much for originality. Also it can get annoying at times. Besides that, It was pretty good.

    A ton of characters to play as, Unique abilities for certain type of characters as well. A campaign of good length as well. Its enjoyable to play but it pretty much follows the norm of every other lego game, Not much originality when compared to other lego games either (which sort of sucks). Still worth playing imo.

    I enjoyed this lego game a lot. I'm thinking of trying Lego Batman 2 as well. This has Good single player witch you can play as the good guys and the bad guys witch means more playable characters witch was very good idea. Multiplayer with a friend is even better and a lot more fun. Single player 7/10 Multiplayer 8/10 Lego Batman 7.9/10

  1. This game has a fresh new angle to it, letting you throw batarangs and use different suits to reach otherwise inaccessible areas.

    With a great variety of levels, tons of things to smash and collect, and a loveable cast of iconic heroes and villains, LEGO Batman is a fun and enjoyable title that will appeal not only to younger gamers but to Batman fans alike.

    Good fun, but it's really just the same thing we've seen before. I don't think the LEGO formula needs much of a change, but certainly the common issues with the series should no longer exist.
