Ingenious game concept - but with quirks

But first the negative, resulting in a point deduction: The game definitely has quality defects. This from time to time as a result (often) and sometimes crashes in the Wii console (previously 1x) are totally twisted landscapes so that z. B. Farbkleckse belonging to the ground, suddenly floating in the sky. My sons found it amusing for me (even in quality assurance for software operates) this was further evidence of poor QA in the product.

But that was already on negatives. Otherwise, we like the game so much that I can put it all to heart. Beginning with a wonderfully gloomy atmosphere of Gotham City to fly like Superman - a childhood dream come true :-) The control is more than child's play and even the heaviest acrobatic pieces rarely fail due to control problems. Example: When balancing on thin boards to not crash on each wobbles from.

At first I found disappointing that we initially could not play characters like Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash o. Ä.. This is due to the game guide. These characters come only at the end of complex and long story about it - and from then you can at least play in the free play of the level. Surprised we were, moreover, that it was not possible in Gotham to change the characters. You had to be careful with what characters you finished a game Free to fly z. B. in Gotham as Superman through the area. Solution: Only after you've played the whole story, there is also in Gotham the "free play" and thus the choice between all've unlocked and purchased characters.

Anyone familiar with the Lego Star Wars games, the starting places like the spaceships or Mos Eisley Cantina know, from where you can start all missions. In Lego Batman this is completely Gotham City - a city very complex structure. All the more admirable that one with Superman anything can even explore gorgeous.

My kids love especially the two-player mode - so although I have my problems with the split screen. In default, he split screen rotates depending on the situation, which now and then is confusing to me. But if you do not like this, this can be fixed in the settings.

Those who buy the game, to expect a complex and varied history - which actually belongs to the movie screen and many (really: many) hours of fun.
