STORY: It doesn't try to be anything deep like the Batman films but it is entertaining nevertheless with jokes and banters. The closet thing I can think of is the TV series Batman Brave and the Bold. It's got that kind of feel to it, not parody like the 1960s but not dark like the 90s BTAS. Batman has dry humor. He's serious; no one else is. This adds to the entertainment value. COMBAT: Half of the game is breaking stuff. Half of the breaking stuff is combat (fighting Lego people i.e. bad guys). Most action games you have to punch a guy 10 times before they magically disappear; not in Legoland - er, Gotham. You punch a guy maybe 2-3 times and he breaks into pieces (literally ... because they're Legos; no blood). It's simple and fun. The other half of the breaking stuff is breaking random stuff because it's what you do in video games (and needed for puzzle solving). PUZZLES: The other half of the game is puzzles. You'll find yourself stuck a lot of times. After beating everyone in combat, you're not sure what to do next; this is when you have to use your head and think about the environment. It often boils down to this: 1) Are you wearing the right costume (Batman has different gadgets)? If not, change. 2) Have you broken everything you can? Breaking things sometimes reveal pieces you can then use to create something else, like a costumer changer thing or a staircase, which you'll need to get to the second floor or your next stop. Overall, it's a fun experience. You can ride the Batmobile around Gotham City to get to different missions, or you can switch to Robin from Batman (or whichever characters; they are many) and ride a motorbike instead. You can't die, which is a good thing because it means you can keep playing without a game over. The action is fun; the jumping around is fun. The action is interrupted by moments when you have to stop and think about what you need to do next to proceed so the game is part action, part puzzles, which is a pretty good combination for a Batman game.

This game is really good. The combat, the bosses, the story, everything! Both campaigns are really good. The Batman story puts everything that happens in the films (and/or comics I haven't read them :) and slaps them down in the form of LEGO inside of a pack of 5 levels per film perfectly. The villain campaign is a great way of showing what happens prior to the Batman stories. My only complaint is while people like long levels, these levels almost feel TOO long. I spend literally half an hour on each level if I know how to beat it. Speedrunners of this game are legit gods. 9/10 2nd best LEGO game.
