As harsh as it sounds and I imagine fans of the caped crusader undergoing a fit as they read this. Playing as Batman felt as if I was doing so due to the name’s sake of what it says on the title screen.

'Frankly it feels rather desaturated, and the inevitable rubber band effect that's going go take place should the series keep going after the release of Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Knight, I feel is going to be a large one indeed.'ĭue to the mission structure and story of the game, which has you switching between different characters for their use of abilities in overcoming obstacles and enemies. While you do play as Batman for a large portion of the game this also feels in conflict with the amount of time being given to the other characters of the game, as you’re greatly encouraged to play with them. The game is called Lego Batman 3 and Braniac is the primary villain. Introducing itself through a cut-scene with Batman nowhere to be seen and the attention being placed on a group of lesser known characters, my thoughts on the game’s title in regards to what was taking place on screen remained in conflict with me for my entire playthrough of the game. Upon entering the game my initial thoughts of about the Lego Batman games were further strengthened. As exciting as the thought may be for another studio such as Telltale Games putting their own twist on the Batman franchise, I’m pleased to say I’ve had my fill. We all remember the years of desperate milking that took place with the zombie genre right? Well I sure do and I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had enough zombies. Frankly it feels rather desaturated, and the inevitable rubber band effect that’s going go take place should the series keep going after the release of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Knight, I feel is going to be a large one indeed. That being film, television, and books, not just video games. It feels as if the game is leeching from Batman’s past ten years of fame and attention that has existed through every form of media entertainment. 'Why is the Batman name still a primary focus in the DC Super Hero series of Lego games?' The focus of Lego Batman 3 is no longer Batman as it incorporates a variety more of the characters from the DC universe, as did Lego Batman 2 although to a lesser extent. Why is the Batman name still a primary focus in the DC Super Heroes series of Lego games?Ĭopyright issues aside I couldn’t help but feel that the Batman name was rather irrelevant and the game should have been named something else.

It’s also something I came to realise during my time with Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, and it presents an interesting dilemma for possible games in the future. And while the game is without a doubt a fantastic addition to the super hero-based Lego games, it isn’t without it’s few sections of faults and annoyances.ĭuring my time with the game there was something of particular interest that stood out to me, and I feel it many others will come to witness it too. Looking forward to this game for quite some time my expectations of the game and the direction in which I could see the series taking as it moved forward was met within my first hour of playthrough. By making good use of it’s source material and providing more than enough heroes and villains to play as, players should find themselves spoilt for choice with the large roster available. Ego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is an exciting and colourful game that provides hours of entertainment and will appeal to both comic book fans and gamers alike.
