(s14) I was going to give this game a glowing review out the gate as I finished it tonight, I enjoyed it that much. And then the celebrity-filled cameo montage began behind the credits. Then I found the hidden level it unlocks post-game. And THEN I discovered that it opens up the Moon and 7 hub planets of open-world shenanigans afterwards. I cannot even tell you how absurdly excited I am now that I can dig into the challenges with a full powerset and free-play character switching. I think I might only be a third done with the game according to the percentage. *FOR THOSE WITH THE XBOX CONTROLLER PROBLEM* This fix lets you access the Xbox 360/One keymap that's built into the game itself: http://steamcommunity.com/app/313690/discussions/0/620696934115202784/ This will bind your keys to the controller (for those too lazy to do it themselves): http://steamcommunity.com/app/313690/discussions/# Keep making noise guys; I’m sure we’ll get an official controller patch soon. After all, the game is advertised to have full controller support :) ________________________________________ TL;DR: This game builds upon Lego Batman and DC Super Heroes. It improves controls and visuals, and offers a new, unique story. Combine this with a change of scenery, and you’ve got yourself a hit. I’m not going to say much that others haven’t already said. But to sum it all up, this game is like “Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes” on steroids. All the classic features that made people love this game are present. That “Batman: Arkham City” style free roam. The “brain friendly” (detect sarcasm here) puzzles that made “Lego Indiana Jones” a hit. The powers of all your favorite childhood super heroes. And now, a story worthy of the game! If you’re like me, and have played any (or all) of these titles, you’ll get a major de ja vous. The last two Lego Batman games were astounding, but this ramps up everything to a new level. As mentioned above (in other reviews), the graphics in this game are improved. And when I say improved, I don't mean a tiny bit, I mean A LOT. I know this might not be the best comparison to make here, but if any of you have ever played Minecraft with the R3DCraft resource pack and/or Shaders (SEUS) mod enabled, you might have an idea as to what I mean. For those that haven’t played Minecraft (haven’t played it seriously, I mean) try googling images of the Shaders mod. It’s a night and day difference between the standard shader pack. While the difference between “Beyond Gotham” and “DC Super Heroes” might not be quite THAT drastic, I think my example gives an accurate portrayal of how much better the game not only looks, but feels. And keep in mind, Lego Batman 2 was NOT a bad looking game. The change of scenery doesn’t hurt either. I love the fact that this game takes you places you don’t often get to go in the DC universe. It’s really quite refreshing. Honestly, I think that this game rivals even “Arkham City” in terms of the best Batman game. Well, that might be pushing it. But one thing’s certain: It’s certainly a great deal better thank “Lego Marvel Super Heroes”! :D It sometimes boggles my mind; why make such a great title a Lego game? But in actuality, I think it’s that fact that makes the game as enjoyable as it is. For any newbies, don’t let the fact that it’s a Lego game discourage you; this game is definitely worth the play. I know as well as anyone that the constant sales sometimes, or often, make us want to spend no more than the price of a sandwich on a game. But this is one worth full price. Honestly guys, you should have picked up the Premium Edition yesterday! P.S. “Lego Batman 4: Justice League” anyone? XD Long story short, the game is a lot of fun. Short story long, if you hate lego games there is nothing for you here. If you hate lego games and are a fan of DC comics, you MIGHT find this game enjoyable as it does delve heavily into the DC worlds. Now here are my thoughts on the PROS and the CONS: PROS: -Voice acting is top notch -Fun with friends -Ton of content -Every character felt like they were treated with love and care as they each have their own unique reticle unlike Lego Batman 2 where all the side characters had a generic reticle. CONS: -Listening to Conan O'Brien can be annoying as he repeats himself every 10 seconds -Story is not the best -Repetitive gameplay (as expected with all lego games) -The free roam worlds felt empty and lacking the emersion of Gotham from Lego Batman 2 OVERALL: -Great game 8/10 Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is a solid Lego game for better and for worse. Sporting over 100 characters and numerous locations, Lego Batman 3 has to be the most expansive and diverse Lego game to date. However, platforming is still frustrating and at times it all just seems so overwhelming and underwhelming at the exact same time. Lego Batman 3 from Traveler's Tale interactive is the 4th game in the Lego video game franchise to feature DC comics’ characters. The title “Lego Batman” is incredible loose at this point especially after 2012’s Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes added a bulk of the Justice League to the line-up. The story starts with Batman and Robin as they chase Killer Croc through the sewers of Gotham City. Meanwhile, the Joker, Lex Luthor, Solomon Grundy and Cheetah invade the Hall of Justice in order to take over the Watchtower, the Justice League’s space station. Soon after the Justice League bring their villains under control in the Watchtower earth is invaded by Brainac who has stolen the power of all the Lantern Corps’. Using these powers, Brainac shrinks the earth and the Justice League and their villains have to work together to save the earth and free the Lantern Corps’ power. The Lego franchise of video games have never bolstered a great story and the same goes for Lego Batman 3. The story primarily serves as a means to bring all of the DC comics diverse characters together. However, cute, clever, or down-right goofy events allow for fun and exciting moments. Early in the game Batman, under the control of Brainac, begins tearing apart the Bat Cave. I played as Alfred through most of the encounter and giggled when I got the chance to beat up Batman as his butler. Moments such as that are the highlights of the franchise. Lego Batman 3 offers the same simple cooperative option as the previous titles. It is still fun working out side quests and free play mode of the story with another person. It also makes exploring the multiple hub worlds easier to manage. However, the dynamic screen split that started in Lego Indiana Jones is still confusing, but the option for a fixed screen split is still available. The co-op mode still remains the best way to truck through these games. It will always be more fun to bring a friend with you in the story missions. Outside of the main story, Lego Batman 3 features several unique hub worlds to collect new characters and golden bricks (the trophies of the franchise). In the previous Lego titles Traveler's Tale has pushed to feature large open worlds that the characters need to explore. These huge worlds were overwhelming at best and rage inducing at worst as it made tracking down side quest difficult and confusing. Lego Batman 3 breaks away from that by only having a handful of hub areas that are incredibly easy to navigate. Side activities no longer feel as much of a chore now that the player can easily bounce from one to the next. The side quests and who assigns them to the player is the real highlight of the game. From the expected characters such as Booster Gold and Aquaman, to unusual like Ace the Bat-Hound, Conan O'Brien and writer/director Kevin Smith. The game even features a prominent role from the Green Loontern, Looney Toons’ Daffy Duck with the powers of the Green Lantern. Traveler's Tale has gone out of their way to offer the silliest and most surprising cameos in this game. Seriously, the Bat-Cow is in this game. The best and most surprising cameo in the game is a collectable that is devoted to Adam West. In the various story missions and hub worlds Adam West is in trouble and the player has to rescue him. During the first story mission I heard, “This is TV’s Adam West and I’m in trouble!” and I became immensely giddy. However, to save Mr. West I needed a character I had yet to unlock which was annoying and frustrating to encounter in the first mission. The Lego games have always locked away secrets and goals behind unlockable characters, but this game seems to handle that in the worse ways. After completing the main story I had only completed 20% of game and was only able to unlock maybe 10% of the secrets hidden in the main story. The franchise has always been about replayability, but it would be nice to at least end the story unlocking more of that content The Lego games have always had a fatigue associated with them. I love this series and have played a majority of the titles, but I have yet to 100% one of them. The Lego fatigue stems from a bloated run time and story missions that feel far too long. Story missions in this game took me between 45 minutes to an hour each and the thought of having to truck through one again for a single unlockable adds to the fatigue. I burned 24 hours in this game, but I doubt I will spend much more time in Lego Batman 3. Excluding the bloated nature of this title I do feel like the franchise is improving. The platforming in the game is still terrible like all the previous Lego titles, but there is far less emphasis on jumping puzzles. Flying characters such as Wonder Woman and others are unlocked early in the story missions and aid in the navigation of the worlds. This is better than Lego Batman 2 where I had to wait till the very end of the game to unlock Wonder Woman. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is proving to me that Traveler’s Tale is improving the franchise. The game is fun and a nice diversion during the crazy video game season that we are currently in. It is great for kids, a good time sink for any adult and almost a must play for any DC comics fan who will get excited at the thought of playing as Wonder Woman disguised as Cheetah. I am mainly referring to myself of course. Oh, and when you fly as Wonder Woman it plays the theme song to the 1970s Wonder Woman tv show! That detail and others make Lego Batman 3 a game worth playing. As I write this review the Arrow DLC still has yet to drop so I'm basing this on having 100% this game with the current three dlcs out with the season pass. First and foremost let me say how much I hated the storyline in this game. For me it was the worst of all the lego games I've played (the other Batmans, Harry Potter, Marvel, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lego Movie). I will admit my biggest problem is that I'm not a big DC person. I only like a few characters and Batman is one of them so when I buy a game called Lego Batman I expect the storyline to be promeniently about Batman. This wasn't that. This was Lego Green Lantern or Lego DC Universe but it wasn't Lego Batman. I realize that they probably called it that to make more money but it really irks me. Don't get me wrong I still had fun with the game, as I do with all the lego games. I was just really looking forward to a batman centric story. That being said I did not run into as many glitches as others have complained about. I also played this game with the XBOX wired controller for Windows and never had a single problem with the controls as some other people have said. The controller worked fine for me and I played all nearly 70 hours with it. These are the glitches that I did run into however: -The bat computer doesn't work in the bat cave to allow you to see levels and replay them even though Conan says it does. -When you run over a heart after taking out an enemy it doesn't always add a heart to your meter if you are low. This is a problem I also noticed in Lego Marvel but not as prevalent as here. -When I was free playing the level Lantern Menance the game crashed on me three times. There wasn't a checkpoint before each crash so I lost everything each time. I had to save and exit a few times as well as start at a different point in the level then go back before I could get everything. The game never crashed before or after this. Only when I free played this level. -Some of the Quests glitched in various ways. -The rest were standard Lego glitches that are pretty much in every game. Ok so I guess this is where I'll go through my pros and cons: Pros: -All the suits in this game can be accessed by holding down the Y button if you're using a controller, once you find the corresponding token. Makes things a lot easier when you need different suits, also if you place the character by where they need to do the suit change sometimes you can just hit the B button and it will automatically change to the suit you need. I liked this a lot better than the previous games. -The Bonus Batman '66 level and the DLC levels which I enjoyed more than the game itself. There's a lot of fun stuff there. Totally can't wait for the Arrow, Bizarro and Suicide Squad DLCs. -Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, Kevin Smith, Adam West and the Green Loontern are playable characters which is just awesome. -That they shut up Conan O'Brien in the last update so he only speaks if you walk up to him and hit the B button. He's incessent talking was annoying before but you may want to talk to him the first time through just to get the lay of the land. -managed to finish the entire game in two weeks and sixty-seven hours which isn't bad for a lego game. -Voice acting was fun and good as it usually is since they started letting the characters speak. -There are a plenty of characters in this game so have ample combinations for free play, quests and races -There are many places to visit with quests and races including the bat cave (which has a room modeled after the batman tv show), the hall of justice, the watchtower, the seven lantern planets and a moon base -Each free play level is broken up into different sections so you don't necessarily have to start from the beginning -You can find unlocked red bricks in both the bat cave and the watchtower by going to the trophy room. Much of what's in the watchtower is also in the bat cave so you can decide where you want to go. Cons: -This game has the fewest checkpoints I've ever seen for a lego game. This became a problem when I went on to free play as I mentioned above -Couldn't access any free play levels or characters that were unlocked until after you got so far into the story. Once you were done with the story you could access unlocked vehicles in Oa, unlocked characters by holding down the Y button or visiting one of the Lantern planets and free play levels from the control room in the watchtower. It could sometimes be annoying to go from one to the other just to unlock something, especially since the bat computer didn't work. -The map wasn't as good as Lego Marvel and when you got past a certain level in story mode you kept going back to the control room and had to find your next level on it. I really didn't like that, it was a bit obnoxious. -there are no extra hearts or invincible red bricks in this game, which could have been useful, but there's a ghost stud collector... except there is almost no ghost studs in this game. Pretty stupid. -VR Missions- I really hated these. Almost threw my controller at my monitor a few times. Need to do them to get some characters, vehicles and gold bricks though as well as complete a few missions. Was glad when they were done. Overall I like the game and do recommend it though I wish there was more batman but I believe the dlcs in this game surpass anything they've done in the others and I can't wait to play them all. Below are some tips and suggestions if you are not the kinda person who likes that stuff stop reading here. Tips and suggestions: -I found the red bricks for the gold brick detector, quest detector & adam west in peril detector were very useful on the hub planets -If you are like me and like to get all the achievements then to get some of them do the following things: visit all the hub planets on a single gaming session; Jump on something 50 times in a row; the one with Krypto in the Man of Steel level you have to change both characters to Krypto; When you are in the control room there is a room to the right which you will need to go in for two of the achievements. -Wait until you're done with story mode to do free play, it's just easier -I found doing quests and stuff area by area worked best. -On your way to Oa for the first time inspect the moon instead of going through the grate. There's an achievement with cows that isn't too hard to find. -When in Oa I used the cars for the land races (Flash's Car worked best for me) but I used flying characters for all the air races because the planes flew like junk. You just got to find the right one to use (Zatanna, Red Torando were among the ones that worked best for me) and may also have to boost the character in flight when the gates are farther apart. -Zatanna is good character to use on things because she can fly, blow up gold objects and go through grates. Cyborg is also cool cause once you have the space suit when you double jump with him (no matter what suit he's currently wearing) he'll switch to the space suit and fly. Well if you've read all this you must have had a lot of time on your hands lol. Thanks for reading and good luck! **UPDATE 3/20/2015** Since I wrote this review all 3 of the remaining DLCs for the season pass have been released. Due to space limitations I decided to combine my updates on these into one. My favorite of the three was the Arrow DLC. Good length, plenty to do and and a cool lego riff by Stephen Amell of his Arrow intro. My least favorite was the Bizarro DLC. It was really hard trying to figure out what you were supposed to be doing in that one. Felt like throwing my controller at my monitor. The Squad DLC was pretty cool but felt shorter than the others. All the DLCs give you more cool characters to play around with so worth it for that reason alone. Now I'm just counting down the days until Lego Jurassic World is released. Can't Wait!
