![]() ![]() Kicking off with a massive escape from Arkham Asylum, the story unfolds from the point of view of both the Heroes and the Villains. Unlike the Star Wars and Indiana Jones games, Lego Batman treats us to an original, albeit simple, story. Each of the playable characters have their own advantages and special skills that provides for a small variety to the gameplay while also encouraging you to go back and repeat a level using other characters so that you can access some areas that are impossible to reach with the story characters. The action is very straightforward and the control scheme makes the game very easy to pick up and play, even for the most novice of game players. If you have played any of the other Lego platform games, then the gameplay in Lego Batman will instantly feel familiar to you. There is still a lot of life left in these games and, in honor of the upcoming Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and the recently announced Lego Star Wars III, we will look back at 2008's Lego Batman. Needless to say, some of the infatuation has worn off by now. It has been almost five years since that initial release we have seen two more Star Wars titles, two Indiana Jones games, Lego Rock Band, and Lego Batman. I never thought that I would become addicted to the charm and gameplay that Traveler's Tales packed into the game. I picked it up because it was a way to get my wife to play games Ц specifically a Star Wars game Ц with me. Then came Lego Star Wars and I was left speechless. It wasn't long ago that I would have scoffed at the idea of a Lego-branded video game. ![]()
