If they do this as well as they did the Star Wars games then this would rock.

If they do this as well as they did the Star Wars games then this would rock.

Very much so - the Star Wars games are highly enjoyable so more is very welcome; the Batman universe, whilst smaller in scope, should make for an entertaining setting as well.

[MrSpeed]

Lego Star Wars is one of my favourite games on the 360 :) If this is along a similar vein then it's a must buy for me :thumbs:

[MetalGearAl]

Excellent, can't wait :D

[ryonhilluk]

I really couldn't get into lego star wars. Wasn't my thing i guess.

How long before lego spiderman? :D

[Adge]

This should be brilliant!!

[Barnacle]

Lego Star Wars is fab (still playing Lego Star Wars II), Batman sounds like a great idea :)

[chrisjm]

lego type little big planet would be good :)

[tpr007]

Batman has never really had a decent game (although I did enjoy the spectrum one!)

Assuming it's the same team who worked on Lego Star Wars then this should be cool.

This game is in danger of eclipsing GTA IV as my potential game-of-the-year. :notworthy

[no flipping]

lego Eastenders rumoured for the Spring of 2009 - roll on!

[Walrus Man]

This was announced ages ago, but is still not coming out until late this year.
Now am I imagining it, or is there also a Lego Indiana Jones game coming, if so where does that come in the release schedule?

[boonspoon]

There is an Indy game. Not sure of the release date though. All that's been seen is a teaser trailer.

Here's the teaser trailer:

http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/953/953315/vid_2070126.html

[MarcusUK]

Lego Indy is indeed coming out this year aswell.

[boonspoon]

According to ign it's June 2008 in the US???

Can't be that soon surely?? Lego Batman was announced before it wasn't it?

[Flopsy]

LEGO Indy is indeed coming out before LEGO Batman, even though Batman was announced first. The release is tied in with the new Indy film release.

[gjkendall]

My five year old daughter loves Lego Star Wars (Complete Saga)...she saw the trailer for Lego Indy and is pestering me to buy it!

My daughter and I have completed the Star Wars game now, and we are currently going back through it to try and collect everything...great fun!

Roll on Batman and Indy...can't wait!

[TonyG]

September can't come quick enough!! :notworthy

I have to agree - this looks absolutely awesome!

Indy looks good, but this looks SO much better!

[marc_angelus]

wow. that looks great, the graphics are a huge step up from lego star wars and lego indy!

[Adge]

That does look really good, both this and Indy are on my to-get list.

[daboy3000]

I want Lego Back to the Future!

[Bapapapa]

OMG! That looks incredible!! :clap:

[Barnacle]

Wow, the game looks incredible.

Love The Joker at the end of the trailer - looks excellent fun :)

[MrSpeed]

Gives me time to finish Lego Star Wars 1st :D

And judging by the end screen - its coming out for every platform under the sun including PC's (Just PLEASE don't make it Vista only)

[chris21]

Does it follow the film though? Shame if it doesn't as it'll stick out amongst the Star Wars and Indy games.

[Terribly_Mauled]

Does it follow the film though? Shame if it doesn't as it'll stick out amongst the Star Wars and Indy games.

Nothing to do with any of the films, its based on the comics themselves, but with an original 'story'.

[internetuser]

Hopefully the freedome of an original story will make them abit more fun than the current indy game, which is fun, but not as good as SW Lego due to the more varied enviroment

[internetuser]

Lego batman has being around for ages, check out woolworths, argos and toys r us...

my bets is harry potter lego next year or the year after... (going from my recent toys r us trip..)

[rsbrowndog]

I'd rather they waited until they had finished the Harry Potter movies to go a Lego game which could then cover all 7 films.

I keep wondering if we'll see another Lego Star Wars title. With Clone Wars in cinemas in the summer and then the TV show following that up there has to be plenty of material in there to mine?

It's a real shame that Lego don't hold the Spider-Man licence anymore, that would have been AWESOME!

Cheers,

Ryan

[Terribly_Mauled]

Lego are producing Clone Wars building sets to tie in with the tv series, so a game could be a very strong possibility.

[internetuser]

I predict for the potters it will be in a few parts then ultimate compalation of all the films on the next gen of console.

[MrSpeed]

Just had an email from Amazon...

We are pleased to report that the following item will dispatch sooner than expected:

"LEGO Batman: The Videogame (Xbox 360)" [Video Game]
Estimated arrival date: 10/10/08 - 13/10/08


:clap:

[Roy]

Is the PS2 version of this likely to be inferior to the 360 one? I'm buying it for the kids from Christmas, and niticed the PS2 one is half the price...

[Mr Majestik]

Well it won't look as nice and if there's any online stuff that'll be out of the window but it'll still be the same basic game.
The DS version of the last couple of Lego games copied the console versions incredibly well.

[Roy]

How bad was my typing in that last post? :D Cheers Mr M :thumbs:

[IndianaJones00]

Recieved my copy for the 360 yesterday and am loving it, just like Lego Indy and Star Wars.

Love that they have used the Burton Batman music :thumbs:

[AKPiggott]

Love that they have used the Burton Batman music :thumbs:

I was hoping they'd use the music from the 60s TV show. :lol:

[Elzar]

Where did you order from to get it this early?

[internetuser]

Out friday, think I will have to pick it up for the "kids"

[internetuser]

Where did you order from to get it this early?

It came out in the US on the 2nd

[unrealnils]

do i go for the Wii or xbox360 version.......

[Adge]

Q: How does Batman's mum call him for his tea?

A:
She doesn't, because she is dead and her murder was the reason he became batman.

[AKPiggott]

Love that they have used the Burton Batman music :thumbs:

Come to think of it, didn't TAS use Burton music? That appears to be the main influence behind this game.

[IndianaJones00]

Where did you order from to get it this early?

Got it along with Brothers in Arms from a seller on eBay, cost £25 each and only took 4 days to arrive from Hong Kong.

[mrwriter]

Cancelled this as I got bored with the Indiana Jones one, but am starting to twitch...

[AKPiggott]

Haven't played the Indy one but think I might grab this at some point.

[Mr Majestik]

Come to think of it, didn't TAS use Burton music? That appears to be the main influence behind this game.

No. It had it's own very fine original score by Shirley Walker but if your going to base the game on any version of Batman that's the one to go for.

[AKPiggott]

OK, thanks for the clarification but I'm sure the opening credits/sequence almost certainly used Elfman's theme.

[fivebyfive]

edit : wrong thread :doh:

[punisher46]

Well Indy is the first lego game I've properly played, and thoroughly enjoyed it....now got star wars to do, then will hit this

[internetuser]

Is it good then, any chance of a mini review ?

[gavinhanly]

OK, thanks for the clarification but I'm sure the opening credits/sequence almost certainly used Elfman's theme.

Elfman write a specific version of the film theme for the opening credits (for the first few series anyway).

[carlito8]

Got mine this morning from Game, can't wait to give it a try later but promised I'd wait for my daughter as she loves the lego games despite knowing very little about Batman.

[internetuser]

I had wrong billing address so had to re order it this am...dam

[rustybin]

My copy is on it's way from Amazon.co.uk (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=8)

That's my weekend sorted.

[MrSpeed]

I've got it on the way from Amazon too...still need to complete Star Wars and Indie though :nuts:

[internetuser]

Yes, your 7 year old will love it (and all the lego games tbh)

my order is dispatched now...

[Moldiver]

Been playing this for about half an hour, so far so good. Nice to see they've worked harder on reducing tearing. There are still spots of it but it's nowhere near as bad as Star Wars. I think Indy slightly improved upon it. The environments do look nice and I like the addition of changeable outfits for Batman and Robin which enable to do specific things.

Gameplay also threw in a free Lego Batman keychain :D

[caygs]

Good old Gameplay, sitting on my doormat when I got home. Shall get started shortly!

[AKPiggott]

I don't have a seven year-old. Unforunately, I have to unashamedly buy games like this for myself. :D

[TigaSefi]

Mine's arrived and hopefully we'll be doing co-op stuff later on with my six year old son. That 50k Achievement barrier before Dec 31st may yet be achievable!! ;)

[Gingerdawn]

I don't have a seven year-old. Unforunately, I have to unashamedly buy games like this for myself. :D

Me too! Hopefully my copy is sat waiting for me to get home & unwrap it! :)

[TonyG]

Just played through the first three levels and already enjoying this much more than Lego Indy. I was worried that the lego games were already getting tired & couldn't really face Indy again after completing the story-mode, but this has enough new features to keep it fresh & entertaining. The backdrops are much better graphically, the puzzles/different suits are decent & just the whole Burton vibe with the music/looks gets a big :thumbs: from me.

[RichB]

if I end up buying this tomorrow, with all the games I haven't played stuck in a big pile on the shelf and on my 360 HD, can someone please shoot me

thankyou

[toffee]

Would this be good for my 7 year old son?


to echo what others have said - my kids are 5 and 7 and love the Lego Games, just ideal for them. They have played Star Wars Lego, first in individual games on the Xbox, and then on the 360 as the whole saga, and still play it now! Indy was good too, bought Batman for them for Xmas.

Due to the "drop in / drop out" play its ideal for family gaming too, you can sit down and join in with them, and then drop out when there are more important things to do around the house ;) And they are not just "mindless" games either - there's a bit of problem solving, and co-operation etc.

So great for your son and you too!

[internetuser]

Hope mine is sitting waiting for me tonight to keep me out the pub.....

[Sabre UK]

The wife and I have played through the first 5 stages as both superheros and villans. Great fun as usual, and she much prefers it to Lego Indy, but still prefers Star Wars out of all of them.

Got to say, I much prefer playing as the villans. :)

also, as some have pointed out, the graphics are very nice in this version.

[Barnacle]

I'm enjoying Lego Batman much more than Lego Indy, it seems to be more fun !

[rustybin]

Mine's just arrived. RM made me sweat there!

Will give this a hammering this weekend.

[AKPiggott]

I'm enjoying Lego Batman much more than Lego Indy, it seems to be more fun !

Have only played the demo but I imagine Indy lacks the variety of Star Wars and Batman.

[Moldiver]

well all the lego games are fun, but yes, Indy was limited. Only three parts. I'm surprised they didn't try and fit in Indy 4 given the release date was so close to the new movie. Batman is much more like Star Wars. You get six full levels of 5 stages each - and you can play as the villains. I've gotten hours worth of gameplay just from going through the main story (6-8 I'd say so far) and it's a lot of fun. It's just a shame that there's no online side.

Cut scenes are great too, very funny. especially Catwoman's :D

[AKPiggott]

Indy IV will probably be released in a special edition or as DLC now that Batman is out the way.

[MrSpeed]

Played through the 1st level co-op with Mrs-S, and I already think I'm going to prefer it over Indie...though all the Lego games have been very enjoyable so far :thumbs:

[SIMON ADEBISI]

Sweeeeeet.

This was in HMV for the same price as play so ive just picked it up. Cant play it til sunday though :(

[orac]

better than Lego Indy - some nice new ideas and very colorful - from this point of view reminds me of bioshock!

Has the v-sync option same as Indy - so you can stop screen tearing as it locks fps lower.

[Moldiver]

You don't need to use V-sync at all. I've done the entire campaign now and noticed next to no tearing. It's the most polished looking game yet.

[punisher46]

I did indy first and going back to star wars is not great.....

Don't like:
No vsync option, it tears constantly....
Have to be within an inch of other player to switch....

Also, was using the parcel extras on indy at the end, feels wierd havign to go right up tro coins to collect, lol

[AKPiggott]

Those with tearing issues: what console and connector are you playing on?

[Harsin]

Reading round the web, seems the game is chock full of freezing problems. Lego Indy would freeze without fail if you went into Free Play with V-Sync on. You'd think they'd have sorted stuff liek this now.

[MarcusUK]

Only glitch I've had so far with this is on the 'Zoos Company' level, the end of level boss vanishes and doesn't reappear. Tried restarting the level and still the same.

What a load of **** :(

[punisher46]

I did indy 100% with v-sync on?

Did they since patch it?

2 year old 360 using component...

[unrealnils]

whats this like on handhelds ??

[punisher46]

anyone know if this is £30 instore anywhere?

Gamestation? Blockbuster? Tesco?

[CLH]

whats this like on handhelds ??

Great on the DS. Better than Indy.

[Mr Majestik]

Yeah the Ds versions great.

[Barny79]

[splobber]

Morrisons are.

[punisher46]

gah, too late...

bought from tesco for £35....

[rustybin]

Played this for about 2 hours now.

Very impressed. Loads of variation and different enough from StarWars and Indy to keep things interesting.

Had freezing issues though. On the first driving level it locked up completely. When I restarted it and replayed, I had some weird camera problem - it went all Cloverfield and you could only see the map in the distance.

[punisher46]

Agree with comments above, very nice wit henough variation from indy, love the playing it from both the villains and batman's point of view.....(brings back great memories of resdident evil 2)...

Done about 10% so far, wit ha mixture of vsync on and off and no freezing...wonder if it's certain batches of xboxes....??

[unrealnils]

freezing is on xbox 360 only ? the wii, PC and handhelds are all fine ??

im not sure what platform to get this on :thinking:
have 360,wii,pc,psp and ds

[Roy]

Are the freezing issues across all platforms? Anyone seen the Wii version yet?

[Damage Inc]

played this on the 360 for around 5 hours so far and it hasn't frozen on me.

[AKPiggott]

How well does the original story work? I think what I loved most about Lego Star Wars is how it spoofs the story of the films.

[gordo]

freezing is on xbox 360 only ? the wii, PC and handhelds are all fine ??

Not really a freezing issue but the psp version has refused to allow me to progress further in the level on two occassions(both vehicle based) and on one a minikit piece i got is now no longer there and i can only get 9.

[HowMuch]

I may of gone a bit metal with this and got up to about 96% complete. :help: So far only one freeze up in a cut scene and one mini kit that took about an hour to get.

[orac]

couple of freezes on Wii - its been played for over 10 hours though...

Anyway - the best lego game IMO, great design, i like the suits for batman and robin and the fighting seems more directed this time - rather than a mass button mash. Also the boomerang on the wii version is very nice (aim the thing using the wii remote pointed at the screen).

[LooneyJetman]

I've had it freeze a couple of times on the 360. The worst thing it done to me though was during the Mad Hatter boss battle. He basically disappeared and we couldn't finish the level. Had to restart from the beginning of the level again.

[Gingerdawn]

I've had this freeze twice - once on a driving level at the beginning & then on a scene just before the Mad Hatter level started.

[TonyG]

I played through the first 10 hero levels on the 360 version over the weekend & no freezing issues. My only gripe is the amount of annoying jumps that should be easy, but due to the perspective, are hard to judge.

[rbullivant]

This was £15 in Tesco on PS2, is the PS3 version worth the extra?

[Moldiver]

100% all done :D Some of those mini kits are a nightmare to find.

Mostly a smooth run. Had a couple of glitches. One mini kit level the locator was telling me to hit these 3 boards, which I did but nothing happened. Reset and tried again with all features turned off and it worked. Also froze during the same level but on a boss section. Overall though hours of fun and I enjoyed getting the 1000 points :P

Congratulations, how long did all that take?

This is the first lego game i've played where I am tempted to try and get 100%.

[Mandrill]

I had awful tearing on the p3s version on my Pioneer plamsa I had to turn on V sync.

It's fun so far not sure I will go back to it after I have done the stories missions though I'm not one for collecting everything.

[Moldiver]

Congratulations, how long did all that take?

This is the first lego game i've played where I am tempted to try and get 100%.

Couldn't tell you exactly tbh. I'd say the main story took 6-8 hours. Surely not much more than 20 hours overall. Once you get enough cash to buy the mini kit and lego brick detectors you're pretty much laughing. You'll need to do the villain chapters to find the required red bricks though, which also include the snazzy multipliers.

[MrSpeed]

This is the first lego game i've played where I am tempted to try and get 100%.

I've got all the Lego games so far and am determined not to get rid of any until I 100% them :dork:

[AKPiggott]

Think I 60%ed Lego Star Wars 2 before selling it. Was planning to get the Complete Saga but never got round to it. Think I'll just go straight for Batman now.

[rustybin]

The Complete Saga is fantastic in its own right.

I 100%ed Indy and I'm now working my way through Batman, but I fully intend to 100% StarWars TCS :)

[AKPiggott]

The Complete Saga is fantastic in its own right.

Yeah I'm sure it is but seeing as I had played through both LSW1 on Xbox1 and LSW2 on 360, it's just been a low priority. Especially with other games about to play. Will pick it up as a bargain one day no doubt.

[Aardvark_DK]

I've managed to get hold of some super secret information and can reveal to you that the next Lego game will be... Wait for it... Lego Evil Dead Trilogy!

I'm pretty bloody excited.

[TonyG]

Lego Evil Dead Trilogy!
:lol: ... Now that would be cool, but never gonna happen.

[Aardvark_DK]

Ok, Lego Alien Quadrilogy perhaps? "In space no one can hear the sound of falling bricks." "This time it's brick-war!" Hey, work with me here!

Lego Planet of the Apes...

Lego Mad Max!

Man, I'm just brimming with excellent ideas!


Seriously, I've just started playing Batman and it's excellent so far. Of course, it doesn't have the same nostalgia factor as the other ones 'cause it's not based on specific material, but the puzzles have been great so far.

Im loving this. Just finished the penguin missions. Only Joker left now and then to replay the levels are the baddies. Was killer Croc an original batman baddie? Never heard of him before.

This game rocks :clap:

[Adge]

Yes, Killer Croc is an original batman villan.

[caygs]

Argh! The Wayne Manor bonus mission is evil, evil, evil. Whoever came up with this is twisted beyond belief!

[MrSpeed]

Had an hour co-op on this earlier today and am definitely preferring it to Lego Indy :thumbs:

[rustybin]

Far better than Indy but I've had some more crashing / freezing issues.

Flight of the Bat crashes every time in co-op - fine in single player.

I've pulled a few levers to open doors (to get to minikits) which open in the short cut-scene, but are still closed afterwards - means you have to re-do the whole level just to get a minikit.

Yesterday when my girlf dropped out of co-op it came up with a weird message saying there is no profile signed in so progress won't be saved. Managed to get the x4 multiplier as well!!

But a brilliant game - at 78% at the moment.

[philbw]

Well, apparently TT are still in with Warner IP and have future lego titles planned. I've read talk of Harry Potter(more rumour/suggestions really), and given the scope of the series it would seem very lucrative.
My man on the inside ;) confirmed the Lego Harry Potter rumour...

[TigaSefi]

X4 multiplayer ? pahI got x2, x4,x6, x8 at the beginning and maxed out to 4billion VERY quickly before I even done the first few Heroes/Villains stages!! :p

[SIMON ADEBISI]

Its gaming nirvana but i wouldnt say its better than Lego Indy. Id give them both equal scores. It was a great buzz playing some of the indy levels that i had seen on tv scores of times.

The most annoying bit for me was the 2-d scrolling bit, due to a couple of well-hidden coins (make sure to smash as much as possible, even the main walkway, such as grey blocks in front of the springy sections). If you're stuck on the hovercraft bit though the only advice I can give is to drive real slow.

Arkham Asylum is the easiest thing ever by comparison.

[AKPiggott]

Managed to grab this from GAME online for £24.50 :thumbs: (£3.00 voucher code in bargain forum and £2.50 of reward points I never knew I had!)

That was my tactic on Indy but I've decided to (try) to do this game to 100% without any guide so I don't know which red-brick is found where!

Took me three attempts at the 2-d section to find out I'd missed the final 2 coins. I found it helped to go through with a shooting character, as they auto target anything that can be destroyed.

[caygs]

Getting close now, 97.7%. Had an absolute nightmare on Arctic World getting the minikit on the slide, was not until I got the trick to it that I stood a fighting chance and then it took about 4 attempts. Punched the air when I got that one!

[lentini]

Got my 100% last night and all 1000 achievements but didn't enjoy this at all. I loved the previous Lego games but this one I found to be lacking somehow.

That one sure was a doozy. I had around 4 or 5 attempts on it.

100% complete and 1000 achievement points for me now.

[AKPiggott]

100% already? Is it really that short/easy? I poured about 30 hours into LSW2 and only got to about 60%.

[TigaSefi]

Took me ages to get Wayne Manor. I couldn't work out for the life of me how to get the 4th brick in 2d broken but i went back in AFTER completing the 2nd level and it broke! I just need 8 more achievements and that's 100% and 1000.

[SIMON ADEBISI]

Ive been playing this all week and am at 38% :(

How do you unlock suit upgrades?

[TigaSefi]

All suits for batman and robin are unlocked during the gameplay.

[Moldiver]

He means upgrades. You need to find the red bricks on the hero levels. There's fifteen I think which are for suit upgrades, while the fifteen on the villain levels are for score multiplyers and cheats.

[rustybin]

Unlocking characters makes a massive difference. I'd finished the story in Hero / Villans but was only at about 40% - then I unlocked all the characters and it jumped to over 70%

[Elzar]

I must be the only one who isn't enjoying it.

I think I'm all LEGOd out. I'll put it on the shelf and come back to it in a few months.

[lentini]

I must be the only one who isn't enjoying it

nope, I didn't either

[stompontheplebs]

Has anyone else had a problem getting the computer to work on the Wayne Manor level?

Edit: Never mind, sorted now...that level was seriously annoying!

[punisher46]

There has been times when I have felt liek this. But I've only previously done indy...I can imagine if you've done star wars and indy, it would be starting to get a bit repetitive now....:(

[caygs]

Got my 1000G, but slightly hollow as was beaten by a friend who took yesterday off to complete it :(

[punisher46]

I'm at 90% but had bout 5 goes at the slalom canister, and giving up as having to do the bit before drives me nuts, 5 misn work for a 10 second chance, repeat....arghhhhh

[Moldiver]

That bugged me a lot as well. I can't quite remember how to do it properly. it's either pushing all the way right and passing the first two, then hit a hard left to get the remaining three, or hitting right to pass the first two and then quickly chaging characters to get the last three on the left.

[SIMON ADEBISI]

Ive played all the hero and villain missions now. Going back to get all the stuff is wrecking my brain though. 60% or so done. Im happy with that so ill be trading this one in soon methinks.

[AKPiggott]

Can someone please tell me how to get past the firey pipe thing in Flight of the Bat. All walkthroughs seem to say use the Batcopter to pick up a mine with the tow cable but I can't see a mine and can't activate the tow cable.

Spot on, and I found don't use any "cold" characters like Penguin or Freeze as they skate very fast on the slope. Hard right for 1st 2, then switch characters and hard left to get the middle and left 2.

Even knowing how to do it took about 10 attempts and so frustrating you have to do so much to get to it.

[AKPiggott]

Thanks man. :thumbs:

Must say I can't believe how well Elfman's score works in this game. It actually seems better suited to the game than it does for the film it was written for. Are there any pieces taken from the Batman Returns score as well?

[punisher46]

just done 100%, just got 3 achievements to go, which I will do, unless I manage to pick up fable 2 tomorrow..;)

[splobber]

Spot on, and I found don't use any "cold" characters like Penguin or Freeze as they skate very fast on the slope. Hard right for 1st 2, then switch characters and hard left to get the middle and left 2.

I never switched characters. The main reason I couldn't do it is because I never noticed the gates on the left until the third attempt and then did it a couple of go's after that.

[Ben Martin]

I found don't use any "cold" characters like Penguin or Freeze as they skate very fast on the slope. Hard right for 1st 2, then switch characters and hard left to get the middle and left 2.agreed on strategy, but oddly enough i got it on my third try with exactly those two characters. i fluffed the third gate but the NPC drifted across behind me, went through it and it registered!

anyway, loved this game and finished it last night about an hour after getting 100%. left wayne manor and co-op until last. couldn't persuade the wife to help with the co-op so had to use two controllers myself - japanese-ikaruga-gamer-style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZEGyrEnXrk) (i wish!).

needed to go back through the mario-esque section twice to get enough studs. definitely agree with advice above to use a character with guns and then bomb everything.

probably all "legoed-out" now having played all three titles in the last five months. didn't affect my enjoyment of this one though, and i would rate it ahead of lego indy (which was still great) but behind star wars: tcs. a relatively easy 3000 achievement points too.

[rustybin]

Just 100%ed this. Only 6 acheivements left to get. Bloody annoying achievement glitch though - rescued all 25 hostages but the vilgilante achievement didn't work. Not going to be able to get 1000 on this now :mad:

[Moldiver]

that's weird. I suppose it worth trying to rescue a hostage again and see if it does anything. You'll still find them on levels even though you've saved them. These lego games can be really odd at times. For instance I've read of people getting everything in the game and not getting an achievement, to which the simple solution is by playing through any one chapter to unlock it.

[rustybin]

Just tried that - no luck.

Also, on the level select screen, all my hostages/civilians have got smiley faces so the only way to get it is to start a new game, which I'm not going to do. I can live without the 25 points!

[TigaSefi]

No no... just revisit all 25 and free them again. You weren't playing co-op at any point where you ? I told my son NEVER to rescue anyone and it worked first time.

[rustybin]

No no... just revisit all 25 and free them again. You weren't playing co-op at any point where you ? I told my son NEVER to rescue anyone and it worked first time.

Ah - thanks for that - My girlfriend is to blame then? We played most of it in co-op. I'm going to tell her off now.

Already traded this for Saints Row 2 so the achievement will have to wait until I re-buy it for £5 in a few years time.

Cracking game.

[unrealnils]

Just started this on the ds , my first lego game and im liking it so far, just wanted to know is this version diffrent to the 360 or wii one ? thanks

[Walrus Man]

Yep, totally different game. Have just finished this 100% on the DS (with the aid of some online help), took me 32 hours! Really enjoyed it though, probably the best of the three DS Lego games.

[tpr007]

Wasn't impressed with Lego starwars or Indy on 360 but Lego batman on ds is excellent!

[CiderMyth]

I've got a question, from playing Lego Batman on the DS. Maybe it's just this game, or maybe it's how all the Lego games work... but I've found a few red bricks unlocking score/stud multipliers, bought the multipliers... and they don't seem to have any effect.
Is there anything else I have to unlock or complete first? :thinking:

[CiderMyth]

Is there anything else I have to unlock or complete first? :thinking:

Oh dear, embarrassing. I've just found it's a menu option to turn on the multipliers. :doh:

[Stevie G]

I got this at xmas on the 360 and finally made it to 1000 achievement points tonight! :clap: First game I've ever made it to! Really enjoyed it, even delayed playing the new GTA 4 content to get the full set!

Oh dear, embarrassing. I've just found it's a menu option to turn on the multipliers. :doh:

Don't worry about it..... it took me until I got to 98% before I worked out where the Asylum bonus level was! I couldn't find the Villians trophy room! Only stopped that second door today! :doh:

[Professor Abronsius]

Just ordered this from TheHut (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=81&url=http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/lego-batman/9990999.html) on the XBox 360 for under 12 quid!!! :clap:

My son has been playing the demo a lot and really likes it. :D

Obviously i will be having the odd go at it myself. ;)

[Spooky_uk]

picked this up last week and quite enjoying it. :thumbs:

[cjanderson]

am enjoying, not as good as harry potter but better than Lego SW.

[CiderMyth]

am enjoying, not as good as harry potter but better than Lego SW.

Really? On my DS I thought it went Star Wars > Batman > Indiana Jones. I haven't tried Harry Potter yet. However, I have just got a Wii, so may have to get the games all over again... :lol:

[Spooky_uk]

also became the first retail game I got 100 points on :thumbs:

[cjanderson]

assume you mean 1000 :D

done the story mode now so now need to replay all 30 levels for the minitures. And all the other stuff.

Was fun enough, the amount of times i beat up my team mate was funny. And often, i couldn't do the jumps so had to get the other person to whereever and hope the 1st person followed, then suddenly they could jump the long distances :thinking:

[Spooky_uk]

yes sorry 1000 :doh:

[cjanderson]

very bored redoing the levels in freeplay, seems to spend my time cycling through 20 charachters all the time to find the right one, a tad dull. and 30 levels of it!!!!!!

[Out for Justice]

On par with Harry Potter surely.

[Barnacle]

Freeplay on HP was much shorter than Story Mode.

[cjanderson]

perhaps i just adore the HP world more so a 2nd playthough was much more fun, as i got a kick out of playing Lucious malfoy and being nice rather than evil :D

here i don't care who i play as.

and its 20 or so charachters to scroll through rather than HPs 8. (with all the various batman and robin types)

i'll do it as not got anything better to do but its just a bit dull.

[Out for Justice]

So did I but the Lego characters look nothing like their counterparts. I just didn't feel the connection as much as the other HP games.

Think I finished the Batman levels but didn't bother doing the villian ones purely down to boredom. Much better than Indy though.

[cjanderson]

Freeplay on HP was much shorter than Story Mode.

thats true, some levels took about 5 mins max. on batman freeplay and replay story appear identical.
