The problem here is, however, that when starting the game up again, you begin your load in the Batcave. If you choose save and exit, youвЂ™re dumped back onto the street where you began the mission, or as far back as to the Batcave. While in a mission, there are a few nodes that appear at the beginning of sections where you can choose to save and continue, save and exit, or just ignore. This is only made worse when continuing a game after saving. The compass in the top left corner of the screen is practically useless, and the map screen is so sparse that being able to decipher which way youвЂ™re heading or even facing is an exercise in madness. Sadly, the open-world hub between missions proves to be an annoyance more than the cool mode the developers had intended. The Batcomputer also serves as a drop for a variety of vehicles, which are totally necessary, as traversing the city on foot would just take too damn long.

As you unlock BatmanвЂ™s Batcomputer link ups, youвЂ™ll reveal enemy LEGO figures nearby, which once defeated will then be available for purchase with LEGO studs and added to your roster for Free Play. This is a huge title, with gold bricks and unlockable characters strewn all around the city. Some suits serve a dual purpose such as RobinвЂ™s Acrobatic outfit, which not only allows him to swing from poles but also jump into a bubble to manipulate stress panels (such as those seen in the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean game last year).ДЄs you progress through the first few levels, the rest of Gotham opens up as your hub world, and the true scale of the game is finally realized. Blue LEGO bits are magnetic and can be manipulated by RobinвЂ™s Magnet Suit similarly, if itвЂ™s covered in electricity, only Batman can traverse it in his aptly named Electricity Suit.

There is a series of special suits the dynamic duo can use, each intended to help them bypass certain puzzles and traps in each stage. YouвЂ™ll play through almost the entire first half of the story as Batman and Robin, with only occasional interjections from the Last Son of Krypton. Everyone got that?ДЇrom the start, itвЂ™s your standard LEGO fare: beat up enemies and build stuff.

It takes the (eventual) combined efforts of not just Batman and Robin, but then Superman - and finally the rest of the DC heroes - to take down the baddies. In a nutshell: Lex Luthor and the Joker team up to take out both the Dark Knight as well as Superman and reduce the LEGO version of both Gotham City and Metropolis to bricks. And as such, weвЂ™re treated to a variety of cut scenes where characters pop up to explain whatвЂ™s going on. It does add a little more to the story and jokes, but overall, itвЂ™s not something that was necessary for the series. While this may impress some, I actually preferred the silent characters of the previous games.

This time out, however, the seriesвЂ™ trademark вЂњhumorвЂќ isnвЂ™t expressed with grunts and grins, but with actual voice acting. Once again, we visit the realm of Batman with an original story unique to the LEGO franchise in that itвЂ™s not based off the film exploits a trait the original LEGO Batman game held as well.

We all know what the LEGO games are about by now: building things out of blocks, collecting coin-like pieces, and obtaining kits, gold blocks, and red blocks for unlockables in a pop culture-inspired world. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PlayStation Vita, DS, 3DS, PC) Mind you, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. For the most part, the core gameplay has stayed the same for many of these titles there has been little innovation or change of the tried-and-true formula. ThereвЂ™s always some pop culture property out there that looks so ridiculous yet so FUN when done up in LEGO blocks. Love вЂ™em or hate вЂ™em, theyвЂ™re not going anywhere.
