INTRODUCTION
Hey there, Gotham City enthusiasts and brick-by-brick lovers alike! What do you get when you combine iconic DC Universe characters, spiffy gameplay, and the whimsical charm of Lego? You guessed it—Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes for 3DS! This game lets you pick from a roster of 50 recognizable characters to kick some villainous derriere in various locations across expansive Gotham City while steering some wicked vehicles. Oh, and did we mention that everyone’s in Lego form? Hilarious, right?
50 CHARACTERS, ALL YOUR FAVORITES
Regarding the array of characters, this game is like a DC Universe Comic-Con made of plastic. Fifty—count them, fifty—characters grace the roster. Want to be the caped crusader himself, Batman? Go for it! More of a Superman fan? Fly high, my friend. And if you’ve got a villainous streak, maybe the Joker’s right up your alley. The options are practically a fan’s dream, offering everything from mainstream figures like Wonder Woman to more niche characters. The game gives you this array of choices to assemble your dream team to protect Gotham City. That’s like the Avengers, but with Lego pieces and 100% fewer Hulk smashes.
INTERACTIVE AND VAST GOTHAM CITY
But what’s a superhero game without a city in peril? The game offers a sprawling Gotham City with various districts, from the luxurious high rises to the grimy back alleys. And guess what? You aren’t just confined to fighting on rooftops. The gameplay includes scuffles at the Gotham Docks, in the Batcave, and even brief stints at the Daily Planet (Clark Kent’s 9-5, anyone?). The point is, it’s not just about saving the city; it’s about experiencing it, brick by glorious brick.
VEHICLES THAT WOULD APPALL JAMES BOND
If you’ve ever wanted to ride in the Batmobile or fly over the sky in the Batplane, this game is for you. In addition to your favorite personalities and a lifelike cityscape, you may choose from a garage full of drool-worthy autos. Whether you prefer ground vehicles or flying, the game has a means of transportation to fit your crime-fighting approach. Who wouldn’t want to arrest crooks while still having a good time in a hot rod?
STORYLINE WITH LAUGHTER ON THE SIDE
Oh, the narrative, oh, the tale. Prepare for action and comic gold as your Lego version of Batman partners up with other characters. The game’s plot is filled with amusing moments that make even grim Gotham feel like a comedy club. Consider this: a Superman who is a little too eager to save the day, a Joker with Lego-sized tricks, and a Batman who is trying to seem strong but is built of plastic blocks. Seriously, this game is practically SNL meets DC Comics.
A CLASSIC COMBINATION: LEGO AND DC
But first, let’s look at why Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is such a popular game. It perfectly combines the legendary worlds of DC superheroes and villains with the fun and simplicity of Lego. It’s like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, except the peanut butter is beloved DC characters, and the jelly is bright Lego pieces. You can practically hear the “click” when these two worlds collide, resulting in hours of epic combat and surprising comedy packaged in excellent Lego packaging.
That’s all there is to it. This game is a must-play, with a cast of 50 individuals, a vast Gotham City, James Bond-level automobiles, a plot filled with comedy, and the ideal marriage of DC and Lego. After all, the only thing better than saving Gotham in Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is saving it while being built of tiny plastic bricks.
