- 2 years 3 months ago To reach Oa, complete the Green Lootern's "Permission to Launch" Quest in the Watchtower to enter the Moon Base. From there, you'll need 30 Gold Bricks and have completed one of the Lantern planet levels to construct the portal that will send you to Oa. The portal itself can be found outside the Moon Base. You can reach it through the vent inside the base or by simply walking outside and looking for it. Vertical columns of light will point out the location of every collectible. Shatter the glass crystals behind the entry portal with a sonar attack then dig in the dirt underneath to unearth the bricks needed to build a Spinner. Push the green side to open the small building next to you and grab the Gold Brick inside. Destroy the gold lock on the building pictured above to open the door then send in Robin's Toy Wonder to access the Techno Terminal inside. There are three power supplies powering the laser grid protecting the Gold Brick. Bust the nearby green crystals and charge the Electricity Terminal behind them to turn one off.
Next, use a stealth character to sneak in the nearby building and throw the switch inside to turn off another. Finally, use a giant character to bust through the cracked ground and step on the button underneath to deactivate the laser barrier. Destroy the green crystals at the base of the spire pictured above and build a Techno Terminal out of its remains. Use the terminal then hop up the platforms (or fly) to the first switch and pull it. Work your way up, pulling switches as you go until you reach another Techno Terminal. Use it and a box on a nearby platform will open up. It's a Gold Brick! You'll find a plastic tunnel on top of one of the spires. Shrink The Atom (or use the Mini Characters cheat) and send him in the open end. Work your way down the tunnel, hitting the buttons as you come to them to clear a path. Step on the button at the end and it will open a nearby container. Exit the plastic tunnel and collect your Gold Brick. Did you want to try out those vehicles you've been collecting?
This is the place to do it. There are 12 races on Oa and each one awards a Gold Brick. Use projectile attacks on the three targets around the building. Each time you hit a target, one of the torches will lite. When all three are lit, the building will open. Equip a Hazard Suit before heading in to collect the Character Token. Find the small building surrounded by three torches. Extinguish the flames and the front door will open. Send in a character with super strength (like Superman) to smash a hole in the cracked floor to uncover a button. Step on the button and collect the Character Token. Use a character with the 'sense' ability to detect a set of footprints. Follow them to another 'sense' spot. Keep following footprints until you come to a dirt mound. Dig in the dirt to uncover a chest with a gold lock. Use a laser to bust the lock and interact with the bricks inside to build a Techno Terminal. Use the terminal to open a nearby container housing the Character Token. In a canyon you'll find five rocks shaped like chickens.
Destroy them all within the time limit to earn a Vehicle Token. On top of one of the tall spires is a swarm of bats. Use someone with the 'sense' ability to detect a button on the floor. Step on it and the nearby structure will open up revealing a switch. Pull the switch and another will open up. Blow up the silver box inside with an explosive attack and interact with the resulting bricks to build a Spinner. Push the green side and a Vehicle Token is yours.Like the first two games in the series, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham begins with the terrestrial adventures of Batman and Robin. It's a slow start, but then comes a moment when it all comes together and the game kicks into high gear. It's not an easy moment to pinpoint, but after much soul-searching and replaying the first few levels of the game when I should have been continuing story mode, I think I've narrowed it down to one perfect moment. The LEGO Batman series thrives on music from past incarnations of its heroes, from the Superman theme from the Richard Donner movie to Danny Elfman's score for the original Batman films, which is honestly starting to get a little old after three game's worth of it.
But this — this will never get old. That right there is Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel's theme song from the 1975 live-action Wonder Woman television show, starring Lynda Carter as young boy's confusion. At least that's the role I remember her playing from watching the show in syndication as a lad. The first time I made Wonder Woman fly in LEGO Batman 3 was definitely the turning point for me. The game instantly transformed from formulaic LEGO adventure to nostalgic romp. This was definitely that moment.maybe it was this. A rocket ride to the besieged Watchtower, orbital base of the Justice League, suddenly transformers into a circular side-scrolling shoot 'em up starring Batman. Here is a LEGO Batman game that's not afraid to push the limits of whatIt's this sort of daring variety I was expecting in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, a game that didn't live up to its promise as well as it could have. It also backs up my theory that the best Batman video games are already proven games that just happen to have Batman in them now.
Greatest Batman game ever. This was that moment. As soon as this multi-wave space shooter kicked in, I knew this was going to be a great game. Although, there was that other moment... nah, most of you wouldn't get it. One of my biggest worries about LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is that it would learn nothing from The LEGO Movie Video Game, my favorite LEGO game release so far. I was afraid this latest LEGO adventure would ignore advances made in the movie tie-in entirely. Turns out that was a silly fear. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham takes the Master Builder mechanic from the movie game and uses it as a way to represent characters with super speed — Flash, Superman, Not Slow Man and the like. Standing one of these characters on a special platform, the player selects a trio of scenery bits and then sits back as they're transformed into something cool at ludicrous speed. As I watched the Flash whip up a massive water cannon out of things the game just had lying around I was overjoyed.
That was the moment I realized this game was more than just an extension of the LEGO Batman franchise, but rather the LEGO video game franchise as a whole. It was the best moment in the game so far. Well, there was that other one. LEGO Batman 2 took forever to introduce its full cast of DC Comics characters, and it felt like as soon as the gang was all accounted for, the game ended. The game kicks off with a Batman and Robin adventure, but soon we're wandering all over the world with some of DC's finest. Here we have the holy trinity of DC Super Heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman — together at last in a tiny LEGO version of Paris. Superman is larger-than-life (literally, in this case). Wonder Woman is obviously annoyed that Batman's along for the ride. And the caped crusader himself? Not only is this a significant moment in LEGO Batman casting, it's also a showcase for a very clever use of LEGO micro-builds. Superman villain Braniac has harnessed the power of the various colored Lanterns (Green, Red, Yellow, Tartan, Clear) to enhance the power of his shrink ray.
Instead of his normal practice of collecting miniaturized cities, he's upgrading to whole planets, and Earth is first on his cosmic geek checklist. Micro-builds utilize smaller LEGO pieces as an economic way to recreate scenes and objects that would be far too massive at standard minifigure scale. Despite the downsizing, the right builder can really bring out subtle architectural features with a micro-build. It's an ingenious way to depict a shrinking world, one that had me reaching for my LEGO reserves with an eye on recreation. This moment was when I really knew LEGO Batman 3 was more than just a good game. I wanted a title that focused on the best aspects of both the DC Universe and LEGO building, and this is that exactly. Truth is the more I play LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, the more moments of greatness I come across. If the trend continues as I finish the game, pinpointing a singular moment will be nigh impossible. I guess I'll just have to settle for the next best thing.
