What’s It About?

After the Joker and Lex Luthor team up to destroy all the LEGO brick buildings of Gotham City, Batman and Robin must enlist the aid of the Justice League (including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Flash) for help. The game offers players two control schemes: One lets them tap the screen to move, using a second hand tap to jump. Attacking an enemy is as simple as touching him, while batarangs must be aimed. There's also an option to use analog sticks and buttons. This gives a higher level of control, but makes the game much harder.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (2 ):

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes was a hit on consoles due to a couple factors -- the ability to save anywhere and the addition of voice acting. The voice acting is still there, but the ability to save is gone, which is frustrating. Still, this is a very good game that shouldn't be overlooked.

The LEGO series is charming, funny, and more addictive than it should be -- and this game was one of the best. The early version is a bit buggy, with several reports of crashes (though we didn't experience any in our testing), but the core fun of the original is still here. It's not as good as what Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii players got, but it's a good compromise, especially at the price.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
