By the 3rd vehicle level I was hoping for a switch up of those too.Īll in all it was a fun enough romp (especially for the 1966 part at the end), but it felt like a wasted opportunity to me. The mechanics were a big improvement over previous Batman installments, and the increased emphasis on the Justice League was fun, but it still felt incredibly restrictive compared to Marvels game. Why not have the Fortress of Solitude explorable? Or Metropolis? Why not Themiscrya or the Flash museum? I got tired of the Watchtower missions by the time we moved on from that, and then Braniacs ship felt like the same but with shades of purple. This felt a lot more repetitive and unimaginative, with them just stretching to finally include the Justice League in a meaningful way (much less anyone else).
In the Marvel game you got interesting teams exploring all over the world (and beyond) and each new location was different and fun. Otherwise, it feels too much like yet another modern-day crime comic. Hopefully, Hester and King can create a more robust 60s era Gotham in later issues. This game was a real lost opportunity to explore more classic locations in the DC universe. Gotham City: Year Two 2 continues to have an engrossing plot, but is hampered by a lack of period feel for the era it’s set in.
But they've also added a space combat mechanic as well, which feels very much like playing a 80's video game (like Defender). dodge, beat up minions, figure out the tricks. Haven't spent much time here, but it feels much larger, with more variety of things to see & do.īoss fights? The couple of "ground based" boss fights I've seen are about the same as the previous. In free-roaming mode, you don't wander Gotham, you wander the Watchtower, Hall of Justice, Batcave, the Moon, and the homeworlds of the various Lanterns. Much more of a "DC Justice League" than a "DC Batman & Acquaintances" sort of feel. In the new game, they seem to take the opposite view - there's very little (if anything?) I have to do with a Bat-character, as I think between J'onn, Superman, Lex, Joker, and Cyborg you get all those special "suit powers." After level 1 or 2, the story mode level gives you a handful of characters to use, and it's so far been a good variety. You'd run into too many things that only one of them could deal with. Cant wait for the next season. Jan Favreau has captured the spirit of Star Wars in a way that all but the original 3 movies have failed to do. I have got to say this has really renewed my Star Wars interest. Comic book fans will enjoy the assets used in this game, especially with regard to music.
In Bats 2, the story mode really pushed you to stick with Batman and/or Robin most of the time. Just got done watching the first season of the Mandalorian.
LEGO BATMAN 3 BEYOND GOTHAM SUPERMAN ZIP
Most importantly to me, the Flash is still fun to use to zip across the entire level and grab all the studs. Got a bit of time to use Plastic Man (think LEGO Marvel Mr. They've greatly improved the "usability" of GL & Martian Manhunter they feel more like the characters we know. The whole Batman/Robin "suits" mechanic (which they've extended to Lex, Joker, and Cyborg as well) just flat out works better. There's lots of game mechanics enhancements as compared to Bats 2. Similar gameplay, similar style, similar humor. If you liked other Lego games, you'll like this. My initial impression, after a few hours of the game: it's worth it.
