I figure I would do once since no one else is, and I'll need to talk to people about the features of the game when it's out on Tuesday, so I scraped my old Game of Thrones OT and turned it into this.
Developer:TT(Travelers Tales) Games
Publisher: Warner Bros
Release Date: June 19th, 2012
MSRP:49.99(PS3&360)/39.99(Wii/3DS/Vita)/29.99(DS/PC)
Genre: Open World(PS3/360/and maybe PC?) lego game. The handheld versions are NOT open world
The Story:
Characters:
Though titled a Lego Batman game, Lego Batman 2 features many prominent members of the DC universe including Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and so on. There are 5 dlc heroes and 5 dlc villains that will be unlocked at a later time or by pre-ordering.
Setting:
Lego Batman 2 is the first Lego game since Lego Island 2(?) to take place in an open world. The game drops you off in Gotham City where you are free to explore many landmarks of the city that have been turned into lego form such as the Arkham Asylum, Ace Chemicals, Wayne Enterprises, and many more. The developers have also cited that Gotham City will be perpetually stuck at night time because they tried daylight and found that it did not look like Gotham when the sun was up. It is also known through screenshots that Superman's Metropolis will appear in some way, but it is unsure how prominent it will be. It could be something as simple as a tutorial for playing as Superman.
Features:
•Open World Gotham to explore
•Vehicles are finally 'a thing' in Lego games. The game features the Batwing, Robin's bike, Batmobile, a Gorilla, and many other famous, and not so famous, DC related machines.
•The DC characters talk. They seem to be going with a fairly different voice cast than what you'd expect from the Justice League comics or Batman games in favor of 'quirkier' voices. I can't confirm this, but Lex Luthor in the trailer sounds just like Clancy Brown though, so it is likely that they have SOME of the Justice League cast.
•As stated before, many of the famous Gotham City landmarks will be sprinkled thorughout the world for you to explore.
•There is a 'main' story and several side missions. Certain villains like the Pengiun appear in these side missions, but it is unknown if they still show up in the main story or if they're there to unlock themselves in their own story since the main villains are Joker and Luthor.
•There is only one Batman, but you'll be able to unlock different Batsuits for him that all have their own individual powers, like his electric suit. Robin also has a biohazard suit.
•The game features a fantastic soundtrack based on many fan favorite DC based cartoon and movies. For example, the John Williams Superman theme and the Danny Elfman Batman theme to name a few.
•2 player local co-op. No online.
•In addition to vehicles for moving around the city, the game also features flight and Super Speed.
•According to a Gamespot stage show at e3, the character customizer is in this game, so if you want to put Robin's head on Batman, you can do that.
•The BatCave serves are your central hub for accessing things, but you'll still find vehicle spawn stations throughout the city
•There are 250 Gold Bricks to collect
•SPOILERS click here to see every character/vehicle in the game.
