Description

LEGO Batman: The Videogame brings the one-and-only Caped Crusader to life in a completely original storyline. Players will take control of the Dynamic Duo, Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Robin, as well as bonus hero Nightwing to fight Gotham City's most notorious criminals including The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, Two Face, Bane, Clayface, Poison Ivy and many more. The criminals have broken out of Arkham Asylum and are set to wreak havoc on the city.

Players will also be able to explore their wicked side and fight their way through the game as the villains, experiencing the game from a completely different point of view with all-new criminal objectives. With a collection of high-tech suits, gadgets and cutting-edge vehicles on hand, players will be able to step into the unique LEGO Batman universe to bring super villains to justice – or, as the villains, to run amok in Gotham City!

Fight for justice as Batman and Robin or create chaos as The Joker, Catwoman and other villains, as you save or destroy Gotham City.

Rocket through sewers and bound across rooftops as you take the fight to the criminals across classic locations in Gotham City.

Fight on land, sea and in the air using a number of powerful Batman, Robin and villain-controlled vehicles, including the rocket-powered Batmobile, sleek Batboat and stealthy Batwing.

Enhance the abilities of the Dynamic Duo by unlocking Batman's Demolition, Sonic and Glide suits and Robin's Gravity, Magnetic and Dive suits to help fight Gotham's villains.

Play through the game in Story Mode from both the hero and villain sides.

Replay any level in Freeplay Mode with any characters you've unlocked. Access previously hidden areas to find additional rewards and bonus content.

Collect LEGO studs and special LEGO bricks throughout the game to unlock tons of extra content including special power-ups and bonus levels.

Reviews on LEGO Batman: The Videogame [PSP]

Rowdy on LEGO Batman: The Videogame [PSP], 09-10-2008

"All of Batman's villains have escaped from Arkham Asylum and it's up to Batman, Robin and a whole lot of unlockable characters (Batgirl, Nightwing, Man Bat etc..) to chase and beat them up. If you're expecting a good story I'm afraid Lego Batman: The Videogame won't deliver...

What Lego Batman: The Videogame does deliver is frankly more of the same the previous Lego-orientated games had on offer. It's like developers Traveller's Tales were playing safe here. Graphics look nice but nothing special, there is plenty of the typical humour available and you have the opportunity to control some vehicles but that's about it. You'll travel through six acts beating up as many enemies and destroying as much scenery as you can. The enemies and smashable objects leave behind Lego parts, and by collecting these you can unlock various characters. Once again, just like the purpose was in Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Star Wars for example. Unfortunately the flaws that occured while playing those games exist here to...

You'll encounter some serious problems with the A.I. for example. I had several moments where I had trouble placing Robin in the exact spot he needed to be, just to solve some stupid and illogical-looking puzzle. And most of the time I wasn't able to jump straight forward either: being able to judge a jump is still very tricky - and oh, so frustrating! - to do.

To be honest, I don't know why I went out and bought this game... I never liked the Lego Star Wars games and I was disappointed with Lego Indiana Jones. If youre a fan of previous Lego minded games - or if you don't care about dull and uninspiring gameplay - then I guess you'll going to get some fun out of this."
