Lego Batman/I'm Back

Sooo.... a lot of shit has went down in my life in the two months that I've been absent. So I have a lot to talk about, a lot of stuff to get off my chest. But none of you are here for that so I'll let my friends in real life take care of that while you enjoy another nerdy blog.

This blog is for my recent purchase of Lego Batman 2. The game that I anticipated for the whole week that I knew about it. Walking into Gamestop i saw a poster for it and put some money down. I was all excited then less than a week later i got the text telling me it was coming in the morning.

Upon picking up the game I immediately went home and put it in. I was instantly blown away by one thing that all the other lego games I had played in the past lacked. Every character had a voice. This brought the game to life in my opinion. I was a little skeptical because I believed that this might take away from some of the comedic genius brought on by the other games. But i was blown away at the doors that were opened up because of it. The witty one liners that were brought on by the Joker as the game started instantly changed my mind.

Gotham City is something that I've never got to actually explore in any sense of the word. In the original Lego Batman you had missions and that was all you gotta see. So I was so thrilled when as soon as Superman was a playable character, I could zoom to anywhere that I wanted to in the entire city (even though superman is a total tool in my own opinion). The city took the beauty of gotham, and lego-ed it up to the extreme. In the classic Gotham fashion lego characters are holding up pipes and buildings to give it that classic feeling while keeping it true to a lego game.

The only thing that I had to complain about this game, is the same thing that i have to complain about all games. It ended too soon. There is an option on the main screen for the xbox marketplace so here's to hoping for perhaps a few more missions or even a few more characters. I would definately like to see either or in the future of this fantastic game.

I give the game a 4.5/5
