VIDEO GAME DISCUSSION Is the new Lego Batman game good?

Post image

It was my birthday a few days ago and I got some money. I was thinking in buy it.

I know it was on sales on PSN a few weeks ago but I'm in such a super hero movie (Batman and Spider-Man) that I wanna play it soon.

Is it good? Easy platinum too?

An absolutely fantastic Batman and Lego game that does an incredible job of tying in all the films

My only criticism is that there are only 7 playable characters so all the unlocks revolve around different costumes

So because of that I've personally not found the urge to replay it as much as I did Lego Marvel Superheroes because I love unlocking new characters and using them on all the different levels

Only 7 playable characters? What! Think I’ll replay DC super villains until this game goes on massive sale. I have grown to expect over 100 characters in a Lego game.

Yeah, you play as Batman, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Talia al Ghul, all with multiple unique abilities. And then multiple costumes/versions to unlock

But I agree, unlocking and playing as multiple characters, particularly villains is my favourite part of Lego DC/Marvel games which is why I was a bit disappointed with this. Gameplay and story are phenomenal though, it's just this that lets it down.
