LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Standard Edition - Nintendo Wii U

This is going to be a review for Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham for the WII U. This game is the perfect mixture of action and puzzle. Unlike earlier Lego games the puzzles are challenging enough to be fun, but not simple enough that they would frustrate an adult. This video game not only has 15 levels, there is a bonus level which is a tribute to the 1966 television series. The design of the levels are fun, and really plays a tribute to the rich comic history of Detective Comics. This being the third Lego game in the series, the character selection doesn’t feel repetitive or stale. Pros: -Outside of story mode, there is an entire world to explore including the bonus 1966 television series level, The Batcave, The Hall of Justice, The Legion of Doom headquarters, and The Watchtower. -It is easier to explore levels with the ability to switch character costumes with the push of a button. -Each level has enough new activities that this title doesn’t become boring and repetitive. - When playing on the Wii U in two player mode player one can play while viewing the touch-pad screen, while player 2 can play while viewing the television. No longer have to play in 2 player mode with a split screen. Con: - This game has too many glitches. During the 15- Level story I experienced about 4 glitches, all which caused me to have to replay the level and loss the level progress.

Batman Lego game is pretty good. It's easy and my 6 year old like playing. The puzzles are a bit hard for him, but other than that it's a regular Lego game.

Fun and lighthearted game full of favorite Batman and DC characters. Also has the Arrow DLC available.

We've owned a ton of Lego games, and I'd say that the original Lego Star Wars for Wii is one of my favorites. I love playing Lego games with my son in 2-player co-op mode. I also like the Lego Batman series, which seems to be a regular test-bed for new gameplay ideas in the Lego franchise. This is a fun game and follows the usual Lego formula with a few new twists. However, we found ourselves getting stuck more than usual on some of the puzzles. I think that was mostly due to unfamiliarity with the underlying narrative story. Still, if you like Lego games, you'll probably enjoy this one. I should add that the Wii U version is a bit of a letdown. The graphics are rough at times, there are plenty of odd glitches (characters can get stuck between a wall and some other object), and the game suffers from significant frame rate drops in 2-player mode. The dips can make it nearly unplayable. Clearly a LAZY effort as most of my Wii U games have outstanding graphics and run smoothly at 60 frames per second. Add in the fact that Wii U owners didn't get the DLC that other consoles received and you realize that Lego/Tt Games didn't care much about the Wii U version of this game.

This was a good game. It makes you think and you able to unlock many characters.
