Play the Role of the Caped Crusader LEGO Style

Does the opportunity to declare ‘I’m Batman’ ever get old? This is the third instalment of the Batman-style game from LEGO, which is sure to provide the answer to this timeless question. If you are still interested in more action from the caped crusader, read on to find out if this game manages to keep the fun fresh.

Managing to capture decades of the classic Batman stories from DC Comics in a single game is no mean feat. However, LEGO has managed to rise to the challenge very well. The game picks up where LEGO Batman 2 left off and players will have plenty of chances to interact with the villain Braniac as well as a whole host of other characters.

Different characters are unlocked at different stages of the game and there are more than 150 characters to find in total. Finding new characters can be a lot of fun and players are sure to feel a sense of satisfaction when the Joker finally shows his green haired head. In addition to all of the Gotham City characters, Batman is forced to team up with a large number of other popular characters to bring Braniac to justice including Lex Luther, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter.

Gamers also have the change to step into the cute costumes of many of these other characters and play as them instead of Batman if they prefer. This helps to keep the game play fresh and allow players to stay focuses so that they can complete the game. Of course, each character comes with their own special skills and other bonuses that players will have to get to know.

The game play is simple while also being very engaging. Players are given plenty to do and there are lots of missions and side missions to complete while exploring the new face of Gotham City. While gamers are sure to be familiar with this world, it has been given a brand new cast that adds a little mystery and excitement to the experience of exploring.

As you would expect from LEGO, this game is good, clean fun and does not take itself too seriously. As with other games from the creative team, there are lots of witty dialogue and funny scenarios that poke fun at the Batman saga just as much as they celebrate it.

The action that is provided by the Batman characters during fight scenes is often rather clumsy and slapstick. However, this fits the LEGO style well as well as playing a tribute to the original Batman television series. True Batman fans are sure to enjoy this and will want to keep trying out different moves.

Batman finally has the chance to share the screen with Wonder Woman, which provides a nice element. Watching the way that so many different characters from the comic universe interact is a lot of fun and the pace of the game is pretty fast and engaging down to the very last mission.

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham combines all of the best elements of Batman with fun LEGO Style, fans of these genres are sure to love the game and there is plenty of content to keep them engaged. The game’s humour provides extra fun and keeps gamers coming back for more.
