The one thing we didn’t like about Lego Batman 2 was that it sidelined its other DC super heroes, giving you a little time with Superman, but holding back the rest of the Justice League until the last few missions. Only by switching characters (if you’re playing solo) or through teamwork (in co-op play) can you use all your powers and all your costumes to make your way from start to end. Robin’s hazard suit is proof against chemical spills and can hoover up and deposit useful bricks, while his magnet suit has magnetic boots and the power to attract glowing objects. His power suit has missile launchers which can shatter silver objects, while the space suit has a jetpack and a laser that can cut through gold bricks. The heroes themselves have their own specific capabilities, but Lego Batman has already focused on the role of suits, with Batman and Robin switching costumes to tackle certain tasks.īatman’s sensor suit, for instance, can highlight hidden grapple points or enable him to sneak past security. Each level is effectively a series of simple puzzles where Batman, Robin and the other playable heroes have to work their way past each obstacle en-route to the level’s conclusion. There’s nothing wrong with the minute-by-minute gameplay, which sticks to the tried and tested formula laid down by Lego Batman 1 and 2.

Put it down to a failure to introduce something fresh and unexpected, or to a structure that doesn’t leave as much room for free play, but it’s the first major Lego game in years that doesn’t feel like an essential family game. Yet while Lego Batman 3 is fantastic fun, it’s also slightly less satisfying than its predecessors. TT Games’ fourth Lego superhero opus could have been its best, fixing the few complaints fans had about Lego Batman 2 and boasting some of the strongest levels in the series. Available on Xbox One, PS4 (reviewed), Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, PC
