- 1 year 5 months ago The Watchtower is big and there are Gold Bricks, Character Tokens and Quests all over the place. We've divided it up into sections: the Main Room, Containment Cells, Lab, Trophy Room, Hangar and Quests. Shoot down the signs above the doors leading to the other rooms. There are five in all. Pull the switch near the three orbs connected two three floor switches in the center of the area. The idea is to step on the floor switches connected to the orbs in the same order they light up. Step on them in this order: left, right, center. Use explosive attacks to destroy the five silver statues within the time limit. Use Batman or Manhunter's super-sense to detect a blue object on the left side of the lobby near the door to the Containment Cells. Use magnet power to open it and receive a Character Token for The Question. There are three penguins trapped in blue force fields in the right foreground. Use the switches to shut them off and pull them in this order: left, right, center.
If you're fast enough, the penguins will be free and a Gold Brick will be yours. On the walkway on the left side of the room is a box with a gold lock. Pop the lock with a laser to get at the Charater Token inside. Use an electricity character like Shazam to power the Electricity Terminal on the left side walkway to save Adam West. You can earn a bunch of Gold Bricks, Character Tokens and Vehicle Tokens by completing the VR Missions, accessible from this room. Click here for the VR Mission walkthroughs. Use the Techno Terminal to the left of the Character Customizers then use a sonic attack to bust open the glass object below it. Put out the fire on the right side of the area to save Adam West. Use an explosive attack to destroy the silver statues in the upper left corner of the room. Then use a character with the 'sense' ability in the area where the statues once stood to detect a silver box. Bust it open with an explosive attack to nab your Character Token. Use Brainiac's shrink ray on the black objects in the upper right of the room.
Take the elevator of fly to the upper level on the right side of the Hangar and you'll find a laser grid with two Toy Wonder Hatches nearby. Send Robin's Toy Wonder through the hatch on the right and use the Techno Terminal the toy emerges next to. Now send it through the hatch on the left to collect the Character Token. Speak to the Green Loontern then build the slideways teleporter out of the hopping bricks on the floor. Now you can access the Moon Base and the teleporters that lead to the Lantern planets. Head to the left to find a large silver crate. Blow it up with an explosive attack, shatter the glass object inside with a sonar attack thengrab the oyster that was inside and return it to Aquaman. Defeat the Condiment King's goons then beat him up when he joins the fight (ranged attacks work well). He'll retreat and send more bad guys after you. Keep up the pattern until you win. Step on the floor buttons (follow the trail of studs to each one) to turn on the overhead lights and lead Killer Moth to his stash.
The path takes you up the stairs on the right and around the back of the room to the left. Use the nearby Character Customizer to create a custom character wearing a Booster Gold shirt and hat. You'll have to buy both garments but they're cheap. Once you have your custom character, show it off to Booster Gold. Head upstairs and you'll find the object of Catwoman's desire protected by a laser grid. Use an explosive attack to destroy the silver object on the wall next to it and throw the switch behind to deactivate the laser grid. Now grab the statue and take it back to Catwoman for you reward. Talk to Kevin Smith and Man-Bat on the upper level on the left side of the Hanger. Now run all the way to the left and grab the green flask off the table. Return it to Kevin Smith for your reward. Head to the Character Customizer and make a custom character with a Penguin Hat and Shirt. The garments cost next to nothing. Show off your new character and claim your reward. Smash the objects in front of the "Bronze" sign in the back left and interact with their bricks to rebuild the sign with magnetic panels.
Use magnet power to re-do the sign and earn your rewards. Search the room for large, purple and green presents. Smash them open and if there's a hostage inside (sometimes it's a bad guy), press the prompted button and escort them back to Batgirl. Save all four hostages and bask in the glory of another shiny Gold Brick. Dec 6, 2014 at 10:00 am LEGO Batman 3 - Cheat codes to unlock characters and red bricks Holy cheat code, Batman!

Interactive Entertainment Release: November 11, 2014 I greeted the arrival of Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham a bit less enthusiastically than I do most Lego games. My daughter and I adore Traveller’s Tales plastic brick adventures, but after playing and reviewing nine new Lego games in the last 20 months (for real – see sidebar for a full list), I was starting to feel like perhaps I could do with a break from making shiny minifigures smash stuff.
Turns out I was wrong. It took less than half an hour for me to get back into the swing of things. By the time we encountered a level with Wonder Woman and discovered that her crackly 1970s TV show theme song begins blasting whenever she takes to the air my daughter and I were both letting loose pig-snort giggles of delight. The Lego video game legacy Few game franchises are as wildly prolific as Warner Bros. Interactive’s Lego games. British studio Traveller’s Tales has managed to pump out some two-dozen Lego games since Lego Star Wars: The Video Game arrived less than a decade ago in 2005, and nine of them have been released since March of last year (that’s nearly one every two months!). Here’s a list of all of Traveller’s Tales Lego games to date. How many have you and your family played? Lego Star Wars: The Video Game (2005) Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (2006) Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (2007) Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (2008)
Lego Batman: The Video Game (2008) Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues (2009) Lego Rock Band (2009) Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (2010) Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (2011) Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game (2011) Lego Battles: Ninjago (2011) Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (2011) Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (2012) Lego The Lord of the Rings (2012) Lego City Undercover (2013) Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins (2013) Lego Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey (2013) Lego Marvel Super Heroes (2013) The Lego Movie Videogame (2014) Lego The Hobbit (2014) Lego Ninjago Nindroids (2014) Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (2014) I suspect the main reason parents like me enjoy playing Lego games more than other kids games is their humour, and the witty writing remains the chief draw for moms and dads playing Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. The story – some innocuous nonsense about Brainiac shrinking and collecting worlds and his plan to make Earth the next addition to his collection – is neither here nor there.
I doubt I’ll remember it by this time next year. It’s the chatter between heroes (and villains; the bad guys team up with the good because Lex doesn’t want to be “president of a marble”) that will lead you to laugh aloud. A handful celebrity cameos – including Conan O’Brien, Kevin Smith, and a perpetually imperilled Adam West as themselves – make for nice surprises. But better still is the sharp dialogue between scores of recognizable heroes, villains, and other random DC characters – including, happily, a playable Alfred, who wields a serving platter with great gusto. Robin takes on a strong supporting role this time out, coming off as a clueless, wide-eyed kid who wants to win Batman’s approval. He’s not the brightest building brick on the block, but his bungling is a hoot and his sympathetic nature makes him easy to like. You’ll probably care what happens to him more than anyone else, even the Caped Crusader. Minor subplots, often delivered through blink-and-you’ll-miss-it snippets of clever wordplay – like Cheetah telling Wonder Woman that Superman doesn’t like her as much as she’d like him to – provide clues to other stories going on in the DC universe, some of which get fleshed out a bit more as the story progresses.
It’s all quite digestible – smart, even – and ought to tickle fans of these characters regardless of how many moons they’ve seen or which restroom they happen to use. The folks at Traveller’s Tales clearly admire and respect the DC Comics universe, and it shines through in just about every part of the experience. As for what players do between all the witty banter, it’s pretty familiar. Each level is dense with activities. You’ll smash countless objects into their constituent bricks and harvest the studs that pop out of them. You’ll fight various minifigure minions as well as their much more powerful masters. And you’ll encounter plenty of clever puzzles that require players to make smart use of their heroes’ special abilities and suits. Granted, many of these abilities aren’t quite as unique and clever as what we saw in last year’s Lego Marvel Super Heroes. A lot of heroes share the same powers, such as shields, grapples, and sonar. And others are growing a little long in the tooth within the series, like rockets (good for destroying shiny silver objects) and lasers (used, as usual, to cut through and blow up glittery golden stuff).
But there are enough abilities here that none become tiresome. Action animations, meanwhile, are lovely – particularly those accompanying the brick-by-brick building of massive models, such as Batman’s spaceship. But there isn’t much in the way of advancement in the series’ gradual graphical evolution – save perhaps the funky X-ray-like visual effect accompanying Batman’s sensor suit mode that turns the whole screen a green and instantly renders objects and characters (or, I should say, characters’ skeletal innards) as comic book-style line drawings. There are a few lightly innovative levels, too. One early mission has a group of heroes traversing the rotating exterior of a space ship. It’s a bit disconcerting to start, but quickly begins to make sense. It reminded me a little of certain Super Mario Galaxy levels. I also enjoyed a series of quick puzzle platforming levels set in a Tron-like black and blue computer grid. Then there are the miniaturized locations, including Paris and London, where heroes and villains tower over and smash through the environment.
I found them a bit reminiscent of Halo levels in which you get to pilot a Scorpion tank; you’ll feel overpowered, but in the best of ways. And I can’t complain about Traveller’s Tales skimping on content. There’s enough here that Warner Bros.’ introduction of a season pass (a first for a Lego game) doesn’t make me want to grumble about how the extra content ought to have been included in the base game. Your initial $60 or $70 bucks buys a sprawling Lego adventure with at least a couple dozen hours of play. Paying extra (should you choose) for a pair of missions based on The Dark Knight and Man of Steel films plus some new characters seems like a fair deal. Lego games may not be shining beacons of originality and innovation, but Traveller’s Tales doesn’t just roll them off an assembly line, either. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is fun, funny, and hard to beat when it comes to co-op couch games played with friends and family. There’s got to be a point at which Lego games finally outstay their welcome.
