Lego Batman: The Videogame

Most of the environments are side-scrolling with a fixed camera perspective, but in 3D with quite some depth.

It is not based on a certain movie or comic, but on the franchise as a whole with a new story.

The animations and sequences are rather quirky and share nothing with the darker atmosphere of the contemporary Batman movies.

A cast of villains has escaped from Arkham Asylum and now roam through Gotham City wreaking havoc.

The first half of the game, players control Batman and his sidekick Robin to take on all enemies with typical brawler gameplay.

Enemies will often respawn endlessly until the player figures out how to progress.

The environments can be explored using a number of gadgets such as the batarang and the grappling hook, and players can switch between the two characters at any time.

They can both fight and the inactive character is always controlled by the computer AI.

Both characters have unique powers they can access by changing their suits.

Batman can then glide through the air or plant bombs, while Robin has for instance a technology suit that allows his to walk on metal surfaces in any direction.

They can also drive certain vehicles.

Both characters operate out of the Batcave that acts as a central hub to store trophies and access missions.

Many of the missions have small puzzle elements with buttons or passages that need to be cleared.

Objects and characters explode into smaller LEGO blocks and at certain sections the hero need to build structures with blocks to create new objects.
