Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is released this weeks, and offers a fresh Lego experience developer in the UK for children and parents to enjoy together. Here’s our 2 minute guide about the game in detail. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is an action-adventure game in which players control Lego versions of DC characters (e.g., Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) as they attempt to stop Brainiac from destroying the Earth and the Lantern Worlds. This is the follow up to Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes, which took the Lego Batman series into the wider DC Comics world. Lego Batman 3 takes this a step further including 150 characters from a host of well known comic book franchises and also introducing a wider variety of suits which players can use to overcome the many puzzles. As is common with Lego games, gameplay features exploration, combat and puzzle solving elements, with replayability fuelled by the unlocking of new characters and the powers that they wield. This comes with lashings of wisecracking humour, a common feature of all the Lego games to date.
The game can be played solo or with two players in split-screen co-operative mode, but does not feature any online multiplayer modes. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is developed in the UK by TTGames, who are responsible for Lego Marvel Superheroes and Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes as well as a number of other previous Lego video games. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is available on Wii U, 3DS, PS4, PS3, Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is available for around £37.99, depending on platform. A season pass which grants you access to all downloadable content is also available for £10.99. There will be a variety of pre-order bonuses available at retailers, as well as six future downloadable content packs to support ongoing play. For the first time in the history of Lego games, a Season Pass will also be available, allowing you the option of paying up front to receive all of the DLC packs on release at no further cost. We expect the main story to take around 9 hours to complete, but to collect everything in the game is likely to take you over 20 hours.
This game has a PEGI 7 rating. PEGI state that the game contains non realistic looking violence towards fantasy characters. The violence is set in a cartoon, slapstick or child like setting, but could be upsetting to very young children. There are also pictures or sounds that are likely to be scary to young children. Lego Batman 3 draws in all generations of the DC comics character including classic 60’s Batman, this along with the other rare DC characters offer a trip down memory lane to revisit childhood comic themes for parents. Heroes and civilians in peril persist as the driver for players to solve problems in the game. Although these are cartoon in nature, there is still a high impact feel to proceedings. Seeing real Lego kits appear in the game will spark players to revisit these toys and possible recreate in game characters and locations from their own bedroom brick collection. Apart from their cross-generational appeal, the Lego games are well known for solid game-play and tongue in cheek humour.
The difficulty level of the game is set to appeal to all ages, with co-op play built into the main adventure allowing children and families to play together in a world that offers a large number of playable characters and varied gameplay.Le titre de la page demandée contient des caractères non valides : « %C3 ».

While the development team at TT Games has used a number of tools to keep the games fresh and interesting, “LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” is the first time I’ve felt the franchise is slowing down.
There are quite a few gameplay enhancements in “LEGO Batman 3,” not the least of which is a fun space shooter sequence in the spirit of “Resogun.” This game also has quite a bit in common with “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” in terms of gameplay — characters with shield-like objects can walk through flames; characters with reflective objects can bounce lasers as long as they’re standing on a special platform; elastic characters can transform into special objects; large characters can bash through broken walls and lift heavy objects. Speedsters have the Master Builder ability from “The LEGO Movie Video Game” — in fact, there isn’t much here that’s actually new or unique. Notably, TT Games has done away with special “suits” taking up character slots, opting for a wheel that allows certain characters to change suits at will to perform different specialized tasks. The game does away with the massive open world seen in “The LEGO Movie Video Game” and “LEGO The Hobbit,” and instead opts for closed-off hubs in The Watchtower and The Batcave.
Meet the (Many) Characters of “LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” “LEGO Batman 3” certainly adheres to the timeless “LEGO” game formula, and follows in step with the previous “LEGO Batman” games with an original story (a concept first introduced in the original “LEGO Batman”) that sees Brainiac attempt to shrink the Earth using the powers of the various Lantern Corps of the DC Universe. Players have the opportunity to journey to different planets in the DCU to gather the Lantern power batteries that will help un-shrink the Earth and defeat Brainiac. It’s a by-the-numbers story, and it’s kept decently engaging by some excellent voice work — the cast is understandably massive and each character has a wonderfully distinctive voice. Green Loontern in particular is a favorite, as is Troy Baker’s Batman and Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow. However, it feels like the TT Games team almost went a little overboard with the characters that appear in-game; the celebrity appearances like Conan O’Brien and Kevin Smith aren’t really explained in the slightest — and they seem woefully out of place on the Justice League Watchtower.
O’Brien serves as a tutorial of sorts, explaining different machinery in the Watchtower, while Smith takes on the role of a sidequest guru. It’s certainly interesting to see them in the game, but the roles could very easily have been filled by any of the 150 characters included in the roster — or even Jim Lee and Geoff Johns, who have a much more relevant tether to the DC Universe. Adam West delivers a perfect celebrity in peril for each of the story levels, serving much the same role as Stan Lee did in “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.” Part of the problem is that the story itself isn’t all that strong. In the early days of “LEGO” games, the hallmark of the series was its ability to successfully parody existing works with a funny spin. “LEGO Batman 3” in many ways takes itself too seriously, attempting to tell a story that might be found in any All-Ages comic (with a Very Special Episode-like ending included), rather than one unique to the LEGO franchise. It’s not necessarily a problem, and doesn’t detract very much from the overall experience, but that level of humor and tongue-in-cheek references to LEGO is missed.
The game is also not without a few bugs — more than once, I had to restart a level due to a key character getting stuck and unable to move, or a command prompt not appearing during a boss battle. Much like the game itself, these are bugs that have been in the series since the very first game in the franchise, but it’s still disappointing to see it happen during story mode. All that said, it’s very clear the folks over at TT Games are huge DC fans. When I made Wonder Woman fly for the first time, I was thrilled to hear the Lynda Carter “Wonder Woman” theme song play in the background — and fans will be excited to know that yes, the John Williams “Superman” theme still plays whenever Superman takes flight in the game. TT Games Takes “LEGO Batman 3” to the Far Reaches of the DC Universe While most of the game is the same song and dance, there is one incredible piece of content that’s worth picking it up: the “Batman ’66” level, “Same Bat Time!
Narrated by Adam West and including nearly every famous “Batman ’66” character, the level is a celebration of everything that made the original television series great, including the “BAM! THWACK!” sound effects whenever a character hits something, a sidescrolling car chase and even a LEGO version of the Batusi. It’s the most fun I’ve had playing a LEGO level in quite some time, and I wish there had been more levels like it. In many ways, “LEGO Batman 3” feels like it retreads old ground a little too much. Possibly, the true test of the game’s potential will likely be in its Downloadable Content episodes, which will take on Batman’s 75th Anniversary as well as LEGO versions of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy and a LEGO “Arrow” story. The mastery that the TT Games team showed on the “Batman ’66” level really made me excited for the DLC — more so than the actual game, if only because part of what the LEGO franchise does so well is parody, and an original story does take a bit away from the ability to enact that parody.
However, for those that have never played a LEGO game before, or parents looking for a great game for their kids to play, “LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” is an excellent choice — but for anyone that’s already experience the LEGO franchise in the last three years, there’s not going to be much that’s new here. It’s a fun game and a fine expansion, but doesn’t offer much that hasn’t been seen before. (That is, beyond the “Batman ’66” level. Have I mentioned how great that is?) “LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes”?“LEGO Batman 2” was a great game when it released in 2012, but the amount of technical advancement in the last two years from TT Games makes it somewhat obsolete. While “LEGO Batman 2” has the open-world advantage, the staggering roster and excellent voice acting set the third game apart from its predecessor. Even if it didn’t, the “Batman ’66” level would push it over the top. They’re about the same in terms of enjoyment. “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes” had a similar edict of cramming everything possible into a game with a story well-suited to Marvel and the added benefit of off-the-wall bonus levels through Deadpool.
