Taking advantage of a license

There is no doubt that the adaptation of large franchises like Star Wars and the world Idiana Jones Lego portrait and now a video game is a success by the developers in the constant search for innovation in a market that is constantly being sin repetitive and only seeks to harness the power of technical consoles aside some capacity for the games playable except what happens to the Nintendo Wii. However, this Lego Batman suffers from what many other games that suffer from the fact no longer innovate because there are three versions are very similar but focus on other sagas or products. This makes the end product loses originality and hence quality. Despite all this we have a very good game that will give us mostly good times they have no other game to play and especially in this time when we practically do not develop games for PS2 or if you are making exclusive games for the Japanese territory, and very difficult to get a lower quality in most cases.

Very funny

The first reaction that the users will encounter the first game is a classic laugh and that is true, it is very funny or “monkey” to see Batman and Robin, among other charismatic characters in the series, in Legos. It also builds during the development of the adventure, since all the scenarios and the enemies are composed of Legos and defeat these Legos are broken into several components, one of the most amusing effect seen in a video game to date without a doubts.

Potential game

Among the most interesting version is offered to us we can play in cooperative mode on a single screen and to control several characters in the game, including a number of villains. The game is divided into chapters and at the end of them will have to defeat the boss corresponding phase shift is quite repetitive levels except the final battle to give a little more fresh air into the situation. The fighting kept the simplicity and the same mistakes of previous games and this makes them repetitive and with few possibilities. At the same time travel scenarios compact but with a good steady progress we are making changes to screens at any time increase the gameplay.

Notes to Lego Batman: The Videogame movie below:

Points against

The main problems are that the game has at times becomes repetitive and heavy and while we get lost in the mapping although this is not very extensive, and we will not know that we have to do on occasion. The appearance is much better than in previous versions but still has some more details for further improvement, although it is a good jump on it and just gave it this name. The IA of our customs as is the current level of play is really the means of production and we loose a lot more complicated when we move through the various scenarios and especially when fighting, constantly affecting the playability and attacking her so direct.

The good:

- Adapting to the world of Lego Batman is an all enjoyed
- The design of the characters
- The cooperative
- The funny thing is that the theme of the game
- Graphically much improved earlier versions of the saga in Lego PS2

The bad:

- The IA of our plays against
- It can be monotonous more than once
- Has the same mistakes that their predecessors
- Are missing some game modes to add extra length to the game
