Review: LEGO Batman

I won't lie to you: I'm a huge Batman fan. A Bat-freak, you might say. From collecting comics and watching The Animated Series ad infinitum to camping out for tickets to the midnight showing of new Bat-films (barring the Joel Schumacher travesties), if it's Batman, I'll give it a shot.

So great is my Batman fanaticism that I purposely skipped LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures in order to maintain my anticipation for LEGO Batman. The two properties may seem unrelated, but the truth is, I knew full well that despite all the Batman lore that Traveler's Tales would no doubt cram into a Gotham built brick by LEGO brick, taking in too much of the LEGO action game formula would kill Batman's fun factor quicker than a whiff of the Joker's deadly gas. As I predicted, LEGO Batman is immense fun -- if you can look past the LEGO formula's reoccurring flaws that should have been fixed after the first LEGO Star Wars.

Shipping this week: Hell's LEGO hunting edition


We've got five (count 'em, five) new Xbox 360 games this week. Probably the biggest of the bunch is Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, which finally arrives after numerous delays. Aside from Brothers in Arms we have LEGO Batman, which we imagine will be an awful lot like LEGO Indiana Jones which was an awful lot like LEGO Star Wars. We question whether or not the somewhat addictive charm will hold out this time. To round out the week, we've got off-road racing, hacking and slashing, and ... um ... hunting. Consider the fall gaming flood postponed.

New Lego Batman trailer, Release date

Having not seen much on the Lego Batman front for a while now, it's good to see something more concrete about the project. The trailer includes all sorts of little tidbits, including some short gameplay snippets as well as bits of the trademark Traveler's Tales humor. The gameplay looks fairly standard for a Lego game, with the fun and variety seemingly focused on character and level design. The trailer introduces the game's (excuse for) storyline, which revolves around Batman's rogue's gallery escaping from Arkham Asylum, and you having to police a town filled with "the worlds most criminally insane." When Lego Batman hits this September you can be sure it'll be a hit, especially with us here.
