My wife and I (both 30+) are always on the look-out for fun co-op games we can play together on the Wii. After shooting up the opposite end of the spectrum with ultra-violence (House of the Dead: Overkill) we really dug the innocent, silly fun of "LEGO Batman."
This was my first go at a LEGO game. I haven't played either Lego Star Wars or Lego Indiana Jones, but I will definitely be checking them out. This game was just so much fun! Great graphics, great game play, great sense of humor. It was challenging enough that it took us awhile to get used to the controllers, and master the combat system (gotta work that batarang), but not so difficult that it was frustrating. We went to the Internet a few times when we were stuck, but for the most part we just whipped right through. Three hours can go by without even noticing, because you get so involved in the game.
The "LEGO Batman" isn't exactly classic Batman, although many of the same characters are involved. Robin is a scrappy little punk, and the Joker is a wacky prankster rather than a deadly killer. Clayface, The Penguin, The Mad Hatter, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze and Two Face make up the rest of the villain contingent. The heroes are Batman and Robin, of course, but some others like Nightwing, Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon are available as unlockable characters.
Game play involves three main missions, against The Riddler, The Penguin and the Joker. Each main mission has about four sub-missions each captained by a different villain. After you play through them in "story mode," you unlock the "free play" mode. In "free play," you can head back to the same scenario but this time with extra powered-up suits and characters that weren't available in the first run. There are a lot of secret items to collect, and if you are a completest you will have a great time picking up all the hidden pieces.
The Wii remote use is pretty basic. You will need the nunchuk to maneuver the characters, and you mostly use the A and B buttons on the remote. There isn't a lot of remote swinging, which is fine considering how fun the game is. The co-op mode is lots of fun, much more fun than single play. In fact, there are a few scenes where you need co-op mode to advance. Robin needs to push a button while Batman goes through a door and things like that. If you don't have a buddy to play with (or a wife...) that could be a bummer.Buy LEGO Batman!
