Many players will have less of an emotional connection to the Lantern worlds than than say Metropolis or Starling City, making them a decent story or design choice, but not necessarily a popular fan choice. Every area looks great and TT Games' level designerss did some great work in the Lantern worlds, but together they feel smaller than Lego Batman 2's Gotham, Lego Marvel's New York, or Lego The Hobbit's Middle-Earth. You can explore the Batcave, the Hall of Justice, the Hall of Doom, the Watchtower, and the various Lantern worlds. Like Lego Marvel, it heads to different areas of the DC Universe, but its hub world is a mix of different areas instead of one grand area. It causes Lego Batman 3 to come across as a bit disjointed in its shifting focus, but most of the target age group probably won't care. The game's attempts in the latter half to center around Batman seems forced. It's a Lego Justice League game that pushes Batman to the forefront at times before the entire thing shifts its focus to the Green Lantern mythos and the various colored Lantern Corps. It's the third in the Lego Batman series, but the name sells the game short. Like its direct predecessor, Lego Batman 3 isn't really a "Batman" game. Add in fuzzy button prompts and buttons doing double duty and it can get annoying at times. Lego Batman 3 is certainly not difficult, but there's more moments of "What am I supposed to be doing?" in the title than TT Games' previous work. There's a lack of clarity compared to previous Lego games like Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Lego The Movie, or Lego The Hobbit puzzling out whether something is a job for the Sonar or Magnet Suit is harder than it should be, since they share the same light blue location markers. The problem is the costume system adds complexity to the basic idea of using heroes' powers to move forward. Characters like Batman, Cyborg, or Lex Luthor can switch between costumes on the fly, allowing them to pull objects in with the Magnet Suit or light up the darkness with the Illumination Suit.

Specific to the Lego Batman series is the increased focus on the costume system, with certain characters having various costumes to impart specific abilities. You may need Superman's flight or Flash's speed to surpass obstacles. You need to change characters and costumes to get things done.Įvery puzzle requires the use of a specific character, as each character plays host to a number of different abilities. Combat doesn't require too much from players and dying doesn't have many major penalties, making this a great game for parents to playing with younger kids. One or two players tromp across various locales in a basic beat-em-up, smashing objects, defeating foes, collecting Lego bits, building objects, and solving puzzles. Batman leads the Justice League against the machinations of Lex Luthor, the Joker, and other DC villains, only for the game to go galaxy-spanning with the entry of Superman villain Brainiac.Īt its core, Lego Batman 3 is simply another game in the long Lego lineup.

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the latest in TT Games' iterative series of Lego games focusing on various media properties.
