Riddle me this.....
I have to admit that when I first started the game it was a bit old hat. I was familiar with the Lego series having played Indiana Jones. However the more I played the more I got sucked into it. Batman and Robin have some interesting get up's but the most memorable part of the game are the villains.
My score would have been lower if I didn't have the pleasure of playing as the villains and seeing the story from their point of view. That feature is what makes this game worthwhile. Who doesn't want to play as the Joker who can fry their victims with a handshake, or as Riddler who uses mind control to manipulate lego minions into doing his bidding. And there are plenty of villains to choose from.
You also get to complete missions using vehicles, planes, a robot, and other wacky modes of transportation.
If your looking for a serious game then don't buy any of the Lego series games. If you want to smash lego's, laugh at lame jokes and just have a cheesy fun time then by all means escape the asylum and grab a copy.
