![]() ![]() Conan O’Brien especially brought a lot of humor to the game. And then there are the numerous celebrity cameos throughout the game, which were all quite good. Troy Baker, Adam West, Clancy Brown, Travis Willingham, Christopher Cory Smith, Dee Bradley Baker, and others really make the cut scenes count. It’s comedic gold, wildly fun, and crafted with so much love that it’s hard not to smile the whole time you’re playing it. The bonus level in this game is an homage to the Batman ’66 TV Series and it’s a thing of beauty that every fan of the show should witness. Plus there’s the bonus mission! Great googly-moogly. The number of unlockable characters, hidden side missions, gold bricks, red bricks, mini-kits, and more is just staggering. There’s SO much to do after you’ve wrapped up the main campaign. Many games only take 6-10 hours to finish and then you’re done forever (well, you could play them on a higher difficulty if you choose, but mostly done) but if you want to get the full LEGO Batman 3 experience you’ll be investing around 24 hours or more. It has the funniest end credits I’ve seen in a game.Catching the references is half the fun! And it’s not just about spotting obscure characters or homages to Batman films and stabs at bad comic films like Halle Berry’s Catwoman, there are countless nods to shows and movies like Tron, Doctor Who, Jurassic Park, and other properties hidden throughout the game and even tucked within the end credits.It’s entertaining for fans of all ages, but adults are going to have the most fun because they’ll notice all the callbacks to classic stories they love.There’s the static split screen (which I prefer) and then there’s the more dynamic version that splits, joins, and swirls about your display depending upon where players are located within the stage. However, if your Player 2 cares nothing for comics and even less about video games you’d be better off playing alone because they’d just slow you down with their endless questions or frequent mistakes - Yes, I’m speaking from personal experience! One nice feature is that you can customize the way the co-op play is presented on your screen. Couch co-op in a LEGO game can be the most fun thing in the world if you and your partner have good chemistry.The VR mini-games are also especially fun and feature a stylish presentation. The Resogun-esque levels are a great new addition, but much like the rest of the game it could have been more of a challenge.Now when you approach a hot spot requiring a specific suit, just pressing a single button will cycle to that outfit automatically. Switching between suits has always been a big part of LEGO gameplay and LEGO Batman 3 makes those transitions easier than ever.Freeze. I also still find myself cracking up about one of Dick Grayson’s “Holy_, Batman” line weeks after hearing it. This leads to amusing gags like Cyborg turning into a washing machine as his “Stealth Suit,” Alfred’s serving tray being used as a shield to make him impervious to flame, and a very Schwarzenegger-inspired Mr. The rest of the humor in the game is the usual LEGO formula of taking iconic characters and exaggerating their personalities to 11 while also keeping it cute. The end result is an all-around more hilarious set of challenges and his narration of the bonus level had me in stitches. As much as I enjoyed rescuing Stan Lee in LEGO Marvel, Lee is famous for his writing and West is famous for his comedic timing. It’s the most charming and the funniest LEGO game yet, in my opinion.The affection the creators of this game have for the source material is evident throughout.It’s a game where you always feel like you could do just one more thing and then call it a night and it just pulls you in deeper and deeper. I spent many nights playing this well past 4 AM. ![]() The uncomplicated action combined with the gratifying reward system is addicting.Why so late? I wanted to actually play the game first and after 22 hours of playtime and roughly 65% of all collectibles found I’m ready to say that LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is… well, it’s a game I’m happily going to give even more hours to until I reach 100%. ![]()
