Jun 19, 201295Easily the best Lego game yet, Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes' expansive world, original story, and bevy of unlockables should please fans of all ages.
-
Jun 22, 201291So while I do tend to be pretty positive about the LEGO series as a whole, it's also easy to see that this is the best effort Traveler's Tales has put into the franchise as of yet.
-
Jul 24, 201290A few niggles, but otherwise this is a pure pleasure to play. [Sept 2012, p.93]
-
Jul 5, 201290While some may be horrified to discover that the gurning Lego figures now come fully voiced, in context it makes perfect sense.
-
Jun 28, 201290TT Games offered what is, probably, the best LEGO game to date. Tons of stuff to do, great humor and a superb co-op mode will keep you company all through the summer.
-
Jun 25, 201290It's not perfect, with slightly clumsy partner AI and awkward flying mechanics for Superman featuring prominently, but any game that makes you continue to smile long after you've finished it, is a special game indeed.
-
Jun 22, 201290It's simply a phenomenally assured game, a pleasure to explore, and bursting with barely contained enthusiasm for its comic-book universe.
-
Jun 19, 201290Trimming off dead-weight as often as it adds something new, this is the strongest LEGO game yet. We've had seven years' worth of iterations, but these cheeky blocks of plastic are still fantastic.
-
Jul 30, 201288LEGO Batman 2 certainly delivers plenty of gameplay for your money.
-
Jun 26, 201288While TT did a fantastic job with this game, there are a few problems that need to be worked out but in all, they set the bar a little bit higher for their next adventure that I can only hope will be a LEGO Marvel game.
-
Jun 25, 201288Just what the doctor ordered. It's fun, clever, charming, action-packed, replayable, and, above all, loyal to DC Comics and the LEGO videogame universe. I totally dig games intended for both young hands and old minds alike and once again, Traveller's Tales have delivered.
-
Jul 11, 201287LEGO Batman 2 is the best LEGO title to date and one that uses all of the source material on offer to wonderful effect. Tightly constructed levels interplay brilliantly with the freedom of roaming the Gotham streets and that usual attitude of snagging all the studs, bricks and characters has never been so alluring.
-
Jul 11, 201285It's not a very deep game, but LEGO Batman 2 manages to charm with its open world and large roster. Fans of DC will love how many characters show up, while everybody else will have a good time taking down the Joker once again. Best of all, this game sets things up for the far more interesting LEGO Justice League adventure that is bound to be announced any time now!
-
Jul 10, 201285It is another great addition to the LEGO game franchise and a real progression from first LEGO Batman.
-
Jul 5, 201285It's encouraging that Traveller's Tales has finally made some big, worthwhile changes to its formula.
-
Jun 18, 201285The open world stuff could use some tweaks, but the little stumbles don't stop LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes from being a great game.
-
Jul 9, 201284Traveller's Tales took some risks with this entry in the series, and for the most part, they all pay off.
-
Jul 9, 201284While LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes suffers from a few questionable design decisions, none of the them ultimately detract from what is an excellent adventure.
-
Jul 5, 201283It's the best in series, but make no mistake: Lego Batman 2 is still very much a Lego game, light-hearted silliness and extremely low difficulty included. Apart from that, the game does an excellent job of telling a great comic book story thanks to the much-needed addition of spoken language, inciting laughs in children and adults alike. The open world adds much to the familiar formula, even if the navigation of Gotham Citys grimy streets is sometimes borderline frustrating.
-
Jul 2, 201283On the whole, the biggest difference here to other LEGO games comes in the sheer size of Gotham, though its secrets aren't open to you until you get through the game.
-
Jun 19, 201283Traveller's Tales took some chances with Lego Batman 2. The addition of spoken dialogue paid off well, and I hope it becomes a standard for all of this developer's games moving forward. Moving the classic Lego gameplay into a vast overworld is also a success, but the redundancy in secret solutions in this play space hurts the experience, and almost becomes a mundane collect-a-thon. Thankfully, the classic Lego gameplay dominates the main game, making Lego Batman 2 another goofy brick-building blast to play.
-
Aug 27, 201280LEGO Batman 2 is a solid game, able to please everyone, and must for fans of comics.
-
Jul 26, 201280It's what the original always should have been. [Issue#87, p.84]
-
Jul 24, 201280There is a great cast of characters complete with an equally great voice cast (including some of the animated DC shows) and with the other DC heroes and it feels like the developers are using this to test the waters for all of them to get their own games so let us hope this will finally give us a great Superman game!
-
Jul 23, 201280One of the best LEGO video games up to date. The reasons are: it doesn't have flaws as the previous LEGO titles and it intensifies the action with characters' voices along with using the whole potential of the Batman universe.
-
Jul 13, 201280Traveller's Tales has done a good job of fitting together multi-part, leap-frog puzzles to break up the tedium of punching LEGO men to pieces.
-
Jul 4, 201280It's impressive how Traveller's Tales manages to keep improving on their Lego-game formula. Each new game is a little better than the last one and Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is no exception. It's got great pacing, a hilarious story and solid working game mechanics. Strongly recommended for both young and old.
-
Jul 2, 201280Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is an entertaining game. It is obviously created for children, but still contains all the elements you'd like to see in a Batman game. Especially the puzzles are well crafted and will make sure you'll never be doing the same thing for five minutes. The only downside are the problems with the multiplayer, but that slight hiccup doesn't stop this being the best Lego game to date.
-
Jul 2, 201280Yet another step forward for the LEGO games, with new gameplay elements and a great cast of characters that help it to stay on top of TT Games' line-up. Nonetheless, the series starts to look a little bit tired and in need of important changes and improvements.
-
Jun 28, 201280Still, DC Heroes is as enjoyable for everyone as all of the previous games, and is definitely worth a look.
-
Jun 28, 201280Though LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes does not have many levels in its storymode, the large open world that is Gotham City is a very pleasant feature. There are tons of golden bricks to collect, red bricks to buy and villains to search for. And it is just as nice to go on a discovery trip in the open world as it is to play the levels and collect everything to get to that 100% completion mark.
-
Jun 26, 201280LEGO fans will enjoy it, DC fans will love it, and fans of both…well, you probably already have it. With just the right balance of new ideas and familiar gaming comfort food, LEGO Batman 2 should please all but the most curmudgeonly of gamers.
-
Jun 25, 201280If I want to break stuff and collect things, there no way quite so mindlessly obliging as Lego Batman 2.
-
Jun 22, 201280Though some of the puzzles are unnerving and the lack of online play is noticeable, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes still stands as one of the better efforts from the team at Travellers Tales.
-
Jun 22, 201280Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes is the best Lego game that we've ever seen. Open world, voices, original story and great characters. Simple and fun.
-
Jun 21, 201280TT Games have clearly understood the criticism that's been aimed at their games of late, and Lego Batman 2 is without a doubt the best experience I've ever had with any of the Lego games.
-
Jun 21, 201280Despite feeling instantly familiar, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes isn't just more of the same. It improves the core gameplay of the series, adds new features and characters, offers a long, engaging and well-presented story and swaps the hub area for a visually rich and fun-packed Gotham City to explore. There are issues that need addressing in the open world, but this is still the best LEGO game in the franchise so far.
-
Jun 19, 201280Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes isn't groundbreaking but it is consistently fun, and while it might not take top honours for best Batman game of all time (that belt is still held by Batman: Arkham City), it's easily the best Lego game we've seen in years.
-
Jun 19, 201280LEGO Batman 2's greatest strength is not only in how it balances its difficulty and length, but also in how the sandbox world will give you way more playtime and challenges to solve afterwards. Also, players can choose to be Superman and solve problems easily or play with Batman to make them more challenging.
-
Jun 19, 201280A great LEGO game - my favourite to date. The risky addition of dialogue pays off, allowing Traveller's Tales to run wild in a way previously impossible with the series.
-
Jun 18, 201279If you are a fan of superheroes and/or a fan of the Lego franchise of games, Lego Batman 2 will attract you for sure, if you don't find yourself in this category though, feel free to take a look at this game anyhow, as you might just find yourself surprised at what is offered.
-
Jul 13, 201278Lego Batman 2 makes a good case for itself overall, but consider Harry Potter the continued king of the mountain of Lego games.
-
Jun 26, 201277This is a huge Lego adventure with quite a few changes and improvements. But amidst all this gain it lost some of the charm.
-
Jun 28, 201275If you're a fan of the LEGO titles, there's a lot to enjoy in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, and the new bits Traveller's Tales added -- when they work -- work wonderfully. When they don't, though, be prepared to buy a new controller as you hurl the one in your hands through the wall.
-
Jun 26, 201275While it may be a step up for the franchise, it doesn't do anything radical that will sway non-fans. LEGO Batman 2 may encourage more exploration, but thematically, and gameplay wise, it's still relatively simplistic.
-
Jun 22, 201275Being able to play so many iconic DC heroes and villains is a refreshing change of pace and offers fans of more obscure characters a chance to see them in action.
-
Aug 8, 201270It's hard to fault Lego Batman 2, but it's hard to get very excited about it either. [Sept 2012, p.79]
-
Aug 3, 201270You know what you'll get with Lego games. It's a great family game with lots of humor and content, but at the same time it's more or less the same as its predecessor, complete with the same (minor) flaws. It's about time for TT Games to at least fix those flaws.
-
Jul 13, 201270The second Lego Batman game has a lot to offer for almost every one. Some of the puzzles are a little big to hard for the younger audience that enjoyed the previous games, which is a shame.
-
Jul 9, 201270Lego Batman 2 is packed with fun DC Universe content, tricky puzzles and compulsive collecting, but it's let down by the repetitive and often tedious combat mechanics. It's virtually impossible to fail, making the real challenge one of player interest. Combined with clunky controls, there's enough wrong to prevent this game from becoming a Lego classic.
-
Jul 2, 201270With a little more polish, LEGO Batman 2 could have been a high point of the franchise. Instead, it's merely another enjoyable entry in the lineup of LEGO games.
-
Jun 28, 201270Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes does not betray the standards of the Lego franchise, adding a few targeted new features and presenting himself as a must buy for fans.
-
Jun 26, 201270As a DC Comics crossover game, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is quiet fun to play like the previous title of the IP developed by TT Games. Even if the usual weaknesses remain, the title brings interesting features like full dialogues that offer a pleasant experience in the series, sometimes to the detriment of humor. Finally, the open-world universe lets players discover Gotham City, LEGO-style, despite some problems with camera positions and characters that happen to be stuck into walls.
-
Jun 20, 201270Side missions and hidden blocks are suitably distracting, although the use of a difficult-to-read radar over a mini-map displays a certain level of open world naivety that should probably be expected from a developer that has just been going through the motions for so long.
-
Jun 19, 201270It's still not a full reinvention of the Lego template but it is one of the most enjoyable uses of it so far, with an open world Gotham and a cast of characters to rival Arkham City.
-
Jun 22, 201265Although it's still as fun as ever to collect Lego bricks and watch the cutscenes, the lack of real change leads to the feeling that you've seen all this before. Batman is a meticulous self-improver; it would be nice if his Lego games had the same mentality.
-
Sep 4, 201260Like all the Lego games, the build/collect/smash em up nature is still just as addictive and the design is both brilliant and awful in equal measures. It's heart-warming and fun, two things which most comic games (and indeed comics) lose out on when they ham-fistedly attempt to be 'mature'. It's a grind though, so I think I'll sit the next few Lego games out while I regain the stamina to go through it all again. And I will go through it again.
-
Jun 29, 201260If the fundamentals were a little more refined or the new ideas a little more fully implemented, I'd feel better about recommending it wholeheartedly, but given the new elements in play here, you can at least take heart that Traveller's Tales isn't resting on its laurels.
-
Jun 19, 201260Despite a few fresh ideas, Lego Batman 2 is, creatively, the weakest game in the Lego franchise.
