LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Review

Batman and Superman in the same game? Say it isn't so! But it is, but with great super heroes, come great villains and while two of our favourites are teaming up, two of our favourite villains are also teaming up, Lex Luther and The Joker coming together to take over Gotham City.

This iteration of the DC Heroes is made up in the Lego world of Gotham City and unlike past versions of Lego games, this one has the full world to explore and find interesting things! So what can this game offer that other Lego games have not! It's a whole new experience for any lover of the past Lego games. One of the biggest changes is the voices! While it might not be a call back to the silent shrugging and nodding of previous Lego games, the voices add some great moments that you would not get if it were simple silence, but I'm not going to ruin any of that for you!

Overall, the game is for collectors and non-collectors a like and while there may be bugs found here and there, it is a game to collect and complete the story. With the previously unheard of (in the Lego games) free to roam world, you can do things you might not have been able to do previously, but I know we all want to go and see how they did Arkham Asylum!

So what is the actual plot you may be asking yourself? If you haven't already run off to get the game already that is! Two of our all-time favorite villains have come together in a plot to run Gotham City! Lex Luther and The Joker have made plans to rig the mayoral election of Gotham City (definitely Luther style, not so much Joker) with kryptonite of course so the all powerful Superman cannot intervene. That is where Batman, Robin and eventually the entire Justice League comes into play in the eight to nine hour long story arc! You will be able to play through the campaign and have fun with the main characters of the campaign, but the real fun when you get into the game!

The real excitement starts when you have completed the story and collected only the studs (in-game currency) that were available! It is then you must start the collection process and find more so that you can go back and play previous missions with your newly unlocked characters! However, that is not the only thing that you can collect! There is also the availability of Golden Bricks. There are 250 bricks in the game and to complete the game in its entirety, you must find every last one of them and to make it is even more interesting (harder) there are some characters and costumes that are especially needed to collect bricks, so have fun getting them all! Despite the story arc only going for 9 hours, you might find yourself spending a lot more time than that on the game if you want to complete the game in its entirety.
