I can't get nearly as excited for this as Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Batman doesn't have the same collective experieinces of movies that the former franchises have.

For instance, in Indiana Jones, you know you will be running from a boulder, rafting in India, riding in a mine cart, fighting on a tank rolling off a cliff. But in Batman you are going to...fight...bad guys?

I hope not. I think a GTA style game would fit Batman a lot better than episodes. The Dark Knight is too much a renegade to put up with a linear plotline...

New images added to the OP.
There really hasn't been much new info on the title...EGM stated that the gameplay will allow you to play a story through the villans eyes and there will also be surprises...they that others from the DC Universe will show up.

DarkKnightCecil
02-19-2008, 05:56 PM
I'm pretty sure one of the developers said that it will have it's own "mythology".

I agree with the GTA statement, it'll probably be a lot like you'll occasionally get a call to go save someone.

Also, the Joker's hideout looks amazingly cool.

Yes, one would figure releasing Lego Batman in conjunction to The Dark Knight's release date would be more beneficial to their game. Maybe they don't want to rush development? Hmm...

I hope Amazon, or some other place, offers the same preorder bonus, as my local GameStop is not a place I want to give my business.

I rented LEGO Indy, but this feels like a purchase; unless the Dark Knight game becomes promising.

I want LEGO Batman as well, but I didn't reserve it, so I'll just have to go to the LEGO store to grab the preorder keychain. I think Batman/Catwoman are my favorite DC characters, though I literally had to drag myself to see The Dark Knight (hype kills everything for me). Time for another Harley/Ivy team up!

When a game like this comes out for multiple platforms, does the main discussion thread always default to the 360 board? (Not complaining, just wondering if there's some sort of unwritten rule)

Yes you can. Happy Meal toys are $1.79 + tax each.They're a freaking $2.39 at the McD's near me. The cheapest Happy Meal is like $2.79, so I feel like I have to buy the meal to feel less ripped off. I've only got the Joker Helicopter so far, but I really want Batman and Joker.

I'm excited about this game, tho I don't know if I can get myself to buy it at retail on release. I hope there will at least be demo out on Live.

It's weird that there are no reviews out for the game just two days prior to release date. There were plenty of reviews of Lego Indiana Jones out early, including in the big magazines. I wonder if there's a review embargo going on here like there was on Mercs 2 earlier this month

I have a 5 year-old son, so he's always bugging me to go to MCD's for Happy Meals anyway. He's been in heaven lately between the Star Wars bobble heads and now the Lego Batman toys.

He has the BatBoat and the Joker Helicopter so far.

Got my copy of this Saturday (9/20/08). I heard the girl that works at my local Gamestop tell a kid that they had 2 copies left for the PS2 if he wanted to still reserve 1. So I asked her if they had them in. She said yes. They've been there for about a week, but street-dated of course, so I couldn't buy it. Then a light bulb went off in my head. I called a mom and pop store a town over and lo and behold they had 2 copies left. They too had it for about a week. I snatched it up. The game is off the hook good! It is by far the best Lego game of the three. You will not be dissappointed.

Also, the toys in my area are 1.05 + tax. Not to mention they let me pick which one I want. Though I've only tried it at the McD's inside Walmart. Also, maybe some McDonald's do like mine where the Happy Meals on Tuesday and Thursday between 4 and 8 p.m. are 1.39 (just hamburger or cheesburger ones). Still, get the toy and some food.

Can someone with the game please tell me : Does this game support an in-level save system? It was super-frustrating to play for a half-hour on a level and not finish it in one seating with my daughter and then have to come back and do the whole thing again. I'm hoping that this time you can save your progress without finishing an entire level.

Draekon

Played the first level and if it's any indication of the game, it looks like it will be better than LEGO Indiana Jones. It's pretty interesting and the Bat Cave is kinda cool. Don't know if I'll find it better than LEGO Star Wars. Regardless, I'm not going to play anymore until I can get a friend to co-op it with.

As far as I remember you just hit him a few times, then he runs away. He then fills up the two containers with some lava or something. Using Robin wearing the magnetic shoes you walk up, press the switch, then some pieces will be available. Build the pieces to form a mine cart, push the cart, and the cart hits a switch that makes a huge block of ice fall on Freeze. Do it for both sides.

Then hit him some more. Done.

09-26-2008, 04:16 PM
Yeah, I've been collecting a few. The thing is the toys do not have the same codes either, I thought like all the Batman ones would be one code, Robin another etc. It is different. Here are some I've gotten from them along with others I found.

Bruce Wayne - BDJ327
Police Van - MAC788
Yeti - NJL412
Penguin Minion - KJP748
Commissioner Gordon - DDP967

Nightwing - MVY759
Batigrl - JKR331
Security Guard - FLB946
Joker (Tropical - a.k.a The Killing Joke Joker) - CCB199
??? - XWP645 (I forgot...I think it's for the extra batarang shots)

Alfred - ZAQ637
Mad Hatter - JCA283
Poison Ivy Goon - GTB899
Robin Submarine - TTF453

Also, have you guys been playing this in co-op offline? I have been, but for example when I beat the 1st episode Hero and Villain only I got the achievement. I also seem to have that problem with the build 50 items one. I got the achievement but the 2nd player didn't...and I'm sure items have been over 50 since I've been letting them build everything I see.

Ok, I am collecting all the items from the first episode and I need some help. There is one item (The one with the bat symbol that you need 10/10 in each level) that is located after this amount of poison in the second area (underneath where Robin gets his tech suit).

How do I get it? I went through the poison, talked to the man behind the ? sign as Riddler (or Mad Hatter since he seems to have the same results) and he opened up this room. The switch inside only opened one cell, with the studs, but the first two remained closed. What am I missing?

Yeah i had a few spots that had me looking stuff up. Its definitely harder than lego indy.

The game is a little glitchy though. I have had the x10 batarangs not work for whatever reason. I was in a boss fight (free play) against Man-Bat and half way through he just disappeared so i had to quit the level. Also when you select Penguins smaller vehicle in the water levels (free mode) there is no picture in the circle that pops up above the vehicle. Oh and the eventual frozen screen that you get in every lego game.

Ditto... I've been kind of surprised about the relatively unqualified praise for this game given its glitchiness. I've only had two boss battles that went off without a hitch. Can't get past the Man-Bat fight for the life of me because of the glitch you described -- tried about 5-6 times now but he keeps disappearing.

It's astonishing how Tt can't seem to fix bugs like this by now, given that this is in effect the 5th iteration of the series. Actually Batman is almost a backwards slide -- I had way less glitches in LSW: TCS. Doubtful they'll release a patch either.

I really like this game. It seems easier to get the studs compared to LSW (I haven't played Indiana Jones yet). The puzzles are fun as well. This game does suffer from the same crappy camera as the others though. I am glad there is only 1 achievement based on finishing an episode without dying.

Indy was incredibly easy to get studs.. I had wayyyyy more than I ever needed once I got the multiplier..

Just got it--haven't opened it yet.
When we play this game will we both get achievements? Like when we beat a chapter will we BOTH get it? I hated that in Lego Star Wars :(

When I played through with my girlfriend she didn't get the achievements for the hero chapters, but did for the villain ones.

Can you switch out Batman and Robin for Nightwing and Batgirl after you unlock them?

I rented this game since I didn't think it would justify a buy...now I wish I would've just bought it. This game is incredibly fun. Are the other Lego games this fun?

Only in the Freeplay mode. Story mode, you're locked to Batman and Robin.

In order to get the achievements, the second player has to be with you before you enter the stage. So if they press start once you start the first stage, they won't get the achievement. I believe that they should be able to get the achievement by just playing through the first stage again.

Lego games are the best - I recommend Indiana Jones and then Star Wars (they get better each time in my opinion).

love the game. I just beat the heroes side of the story and now I'm starting I. The villain side of the story. Some of the villains abilities are awesome especially clayface.

Also, have you guys been playing this in co-op offline? I have been, but for example when I beat the 1st episode Hero and Villain only I got the achievement. I also seem to have that problem with the build 50 items one. I got the achievement but the 2nd player didn't...and I'm sure items have been over 50 since I've been letting them build everything I see.

My wife and I had the same problem. I got the build 50 achievement even though SHE was the one that building during the achievement ding.

Co-op achievements for all of the Lego games have been haphazard.

I just got the game yesterday, didn't get a chance to play much. Are there unlockable costumes for each character? Also are any other heroes from DC in there as unlockables? A long while back I read in GI that Superman would show up.

No DC characters just Batman, Robin and all the normal Batman characters. Some will unlock alternate outfits but not all. Game was alot of fun I picked it up on saturday with my rental pass and took it back yesterday beating it and unlocking about 80% and about 800 achievement points. I was tempted to finish up the rest real fast after I found about the cheats not affecting achievements but I am lazy and wanted to check out NBA 2K9 before they were all rented out.

EDIT: oh yea and Wayne Manor (bonus level) is NOT fun. Haha that thing was a pain in the ass I kept missing one freaking stud and when I finally found it I was pissed.

Finished it this weekend and really enjoyed the game. I'm not sure if the other Lego games have this, but there is a quit and save option so you don't have to play an entire level if you just need to find 1 more item. Find it and just quit and save back to the batcave.

Is it just me or was this game too short? At least it felt like it to me.

I liked Cat Womans classic suit. And yes, Wayne Manor was horrible compared to the other lego games final unlockable levels. Felt like they just slapped something together.

To me it felt like the lego game that lasted the longest. They usually only have 3 episodes, this game has 6. Then going back through to find the rest of the things. Yeah felt like it was longer than SW or Indy.

This is just great. I've been playing it the past couple days. I have it from Gamefly but I think I want to own it. I'll probably just finish up the main game before sending it back then do all the unlockables when it goes on sale one day.

Indeed. It felt like the longest, as well (obviously, if you don't count TCS, considering it's two games).
