Lego Batman: The Video Game

You beat me to it!

This game is going to be amazing

 

I've been waiting to see something about this game for a while.
I'm really excited to play it.
I hope that a la Lego Star Wars you can replay levels as all the chacrters- I want to play the villians, big time!

 

It should not let us downIf it is anything like the Star Wars games,then this one is a must have!

 

This and Lego Indy are on my list of must-buys

 

Fall 2008?!

That's an unforgivably long wait.

 

Yeah, but at least I can catch up on the games I want for the 360 without going broke.

 

That is a long time, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. This is one of a very few upcoming games that I'm really excited about.

Just got Lego Star Wars for Christmas and love it so I'll defo be picking this up when it comes out.

 

Why are the Lego versions of games better than the non-lego versions?

That's crazy. I want Lego DCU... it'd own.

 

I love Batman and all but these Lego games are just rehashes of previous games you've played just with the characters and surroundings looking like well...Legos.

Look at those past Lego Star Wars games they came out with. Your trying to tell me there was a lot of new "things" in those games that weren't in the previous 1500 Star Wars games made in the past.


I'm seriously asking in this post for someone to give me a list of reasons that make these games worth getting. I like Batman a lot but don't think I should drop the cash down for this.

 

is this going to be two player like star wars?

 

Yeah I don't get the whole Lego game craze. Is it just me or does anyone else NOT see Batman or any of the Star Wars characters but just blocky Lego figures that resemble them. I can't get past that initial visual impression, I just don't care for it. It's a ****ing lego. I don't want to play as Lego Batman.

Am I the only one whose excited about this game?

I'm really looking forward to playing as all the villains especailly- it'll be the first time we've ever been able to play as most of these characters.

I loved the Lego: Star Wars games- they were simple enough to be enjoyable but deep enough to be replay-able, and I'm not even a Star Wars fan.

There seems to be a pretty big roster of playable charcters so far, and with the recent announcements of Harley Quinn and Nightwing being playable, I think this could turn out to be another awesome platformer...tha happens to be about Legos...that still seems weird to me

-"Legos? ....You're pulling my cape, right?"

-"It's not so bad!"

 

I will rent it since I'm a huge Batman fan. I just wish they would have made a normal looking game where you can play as the villians. I don't get what the appeal is by making them all fat Lego characters.

 

Meh, I feel like they're overdoing it with this Lego theme of games.

Really looking forward to this, more than Lego Indiana Jones!

 

I'm pretty sure those vids were made as an ad campaign for the actual Lego Batman Legos, not the game.
They've been out for a long time, over a year, and I rememeber seeing them as an ad for Lego...but I'm sure it's pretty similar to what we'll be getting in the game later this year!

 

They're fun. Why play a new FPS game? You can get the same experience by playing any number of old FPS games. Why play a RTS game, you can get the same experience playing any number of old RTS games.

If a game is fun, it is good, regardless of whether it's innovative or not. Or if it's complex or not. There are only 2 kinds of games. Fun games, and not fun games. This is fun. If you're too snobbish to get off your high horse and see that, it's your loss, no one elses. You can also leave the thread now, in that case.

 

As soon as I unlock Joker and Harley, they are the only characters I will play as.

 

So, here are the characters that have been shown in screenshots....
Batman
Robin
Joker
Harley Quinn
Penguin
Mr. Freeze
Two-Face
Scarecrow
Killer Croc
Catwoman

and so far mentoined but not shown has been
Nightwing
Alfred
and The Riddler, I believe
I' m hoping there will be Batgirl as a playable character as well.
Did I forget anybody?

 

A list of reasons to buy Lego Batman? Ok...
1. Lego Games are simple non-pretentious platformer vidoegame fun
2. It's a Batman game that isn't tethered to some movie release like the last few Batman games, which were basically just ads for the movie
3. You get to play as ALL of the major Batman Villains
4. if it is anyhting like L:SW it will have a lot of reply-ability
5. Multi-player Co-op
6. It will be funny (I thought L:SW was)
7....and YOU GET TO PLAY AS THE VILLAINS! Hello? If you loved Batman I would think that that would be something that you were into!

Who cares if it's lego? It's a videogame in the first place, what difference does it make if you are playing as one artist's representation of Batman or another's? (Yes I realize one of thise artists uses yellow blocks- but that's beside the point!)
I love Batman and this looks like it could be an ACTUALLY GOOD Batman game- I can count the number of previously good Batman games on no fingers!

Oh, and reason #8. If you don't like Legos, you're a nazi
