Lego Batman - PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 - The Beginning - Co-op - Part 1
How about piloting Lego Batmobiles? One of Robin's nicknames in the Batman series and comic books is "Boy Wonder." However, it's difficult to call the character a wonder in the case of Lego Batman. He's more like a lethargic kid. This is due to the fact that the artificial intelligence of his fighting partner was very poorly developed. It's not uncommon, for example, for Batman to plant a bomb and Robin to run around it, exploding along with the device. Don't think it's just a feature to make the game funnier, with Robin being, so to speak, incompetent, since when the player switches to controlling Robin, it's Batman who becomes stupid. This is really a major flaw in the game, and leaves much to be desired. However, it's possible to disregard it, considering the fun gameplay and the excellent cooperative mode. Another aspect that is very appealing in Lego Batman is the availability of cooperative play. In this mode, one player takes on the role of Batman and the other the colorful Robin suit. Unlike the single-player mode, here the AI assistance is absent, and the problem mentioned above disappears completely. The result is an adventure as exciting as you and your friend can make it. Considering that in this mode the only limitations to fun are your own ability to play Lego Batman, the result is much more rewarding, in addition to allowing good communication between players. What stands out in the game is the need to always use both characters of the duo in a balanced way. While Robin is the only one capable of accessing a certain place in the scenario, Batman has exclusive access to other sections. Lego pieces everywhere! The graphic quality of Lego Batman is much better than that of the Lego Star Wars series. Although the game uses the same engine as its predecessors, this version takes advantage of the potential of the new generation of consoles, presenting more detailed textures and improved modeling. Aspects that really stand out in the graphics are the quality of the Lego piece textures, as well as the powerful lighting created by the TellTale Games designers. It's worth it just for the laughs! It's essential that, in the analysis of Lego Batman, it's clear that the game has a very well-defined target audience. We perfectly understand that some more demanding players will simply hate the concept, but it's necessary to understand the concept behind it. As the name itself suggests, this is a game based on Lego toys, and it's important to remember what the Lego concept involves: creativity. The developers' goal was to bring to video games the adventures experienced by Lego fans with their countless building blocks. And in this respect, they are champions. Any Lego fan, even those who left the building toy behind decades ago, will be captivated by Lego Batman and won't want to leave the television screen for a single moment. The result is an unparalleled, high-quality adventure. It's clear that the game doesn't even come close to serious titles like Gears of War, Crysis, God of War, and other games developed exclusively for hardcore gamers. Therefore, if you're looking for a game to laugh and have fun, Lego Batman, like any other title in the Lego franchise, is highly recommended for you. Of course, if you fit the other gamer profile, you may not be as satisfied with the game, and perhaps you won't even understand why the title was so acclaimed. So, if you're thinking about buying the LucasArts game, it's extremely important that you consider this watershed moment, observing exactly what your current taste is.
