LEGO Batman is a action adventure game. The story is about how Batman and Robin must stop Gotham City from falling to pieces. All of the villain of Arkham Asylum has escaped and the city is in bad shape. There are three episodes for the hero side and 3 three for the evil side. In the good side, Batman and Robin must stop villain from carrying out their evil plans. On the evil side, the villains must take over or infitrate a location. Later the heroes will stop them so you get to see how the villains got there in the first place. It's cool because the same level of each side's point of view takes place in the same place. The hub for the hero side is the Batcave. The villains' is Arkham Asylum. The graphics of the game are good, but they're nothing to get excited about. The gameplay of the game is just like any other LEGO game. You can redo any level you've already done and do them again in freeplay. Freeplay is a mode in which you could switch to any character you've unlocked. You'll need to unlock all of the types of characters to win. There are many characters and you can make your own. The reason for going back in free play is to collect minikits, red bricks, and to get Super-hero or Super-villain status. Minikits are 10 canisters spread around the level. You need to collect them all to unlock a bonus level. Red bricks are red bricks (obviously) that are spread somewhere in the level. There is 1 red brick fror every level. Red bricks unlock upgrades and extras. Upgrades are upgrades for Batman and Robin's tech suits. Extras are "cheats" that you can turn on and off anytime. Super hero or villain status is meter on the screen that tells you how much money you need to reach the status. Collecting studs will raise the meter. Studs could be used to buy data (trivia), unlocked characters, extras, and upgrades. I enjoyed this game very much because of co-op play and I never play without co-op. There's a problem with ever LEGO game and that is the AI computer is the worst partner you could wish for. Batman fans might want to rent this first. I also recommend buying this game if you have someone to play with.
