Evil Avatar: LEGO Batman: The Videogame Review

Evil Avatar writes: "Gamers will now all be familiar with the LEGO series of games developed by Traveler's Tales. After "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" iterations of the series it was time to look elsewhere for inspiration and it's in DC Comics favourite, "Batman", that they have found it.

I use the word inspiration lightly however as it appears the developer has had very little whilst developing this new title. Players of the other three games in the series will at once feel over-familiar with the games content. We are seeing the same engine at work, with the same sort of character distinctions all rounded up into the exact same sort of gameplay."

The Good

* Gotham City is brought to life.
* Joker and Harley Quinn's first level is a particular high point.
* May tide some over until "Batman: Arkham Asylum".

The Bad

* The gameplay feels ridiculously familiar.
* The whole experience is uninspired with very little in the way of fresh ideas.
* The friendly A.I is frustrating at best.

The Ugly

* Paying more for the PS3 or 360 version is a slap in the face.
* Batman and Robin are reduced to dullards. (LEGO Batman, Lego Batman: The Video Game, PC, PS3, Xbox 360) 2/5
