Re: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
 

the whole no large city like the Marvel one sucks. my son loves just running around and playing with the various superheroes. he's not quite old enough to get the hang of constantly switching characters.

I picked this up at launch. But, I'll probably finish Mordor before I dive in. I really enjoyed Lego Marvel and Batman 2.

How old is your son? My girls (ages 4 and 5) love the Lego Movie game, and they've got the character switching down, and even understand how to travel between different hubs, but they don't really get the puzzle aspect of the levels. They just like to run around in the hubs and play (and collect studs to buy more characters, I help them with that too, but they're constantly asking if they have enough money to buy anything). They've been thru every level on story mode and unlocked all the hubs, but only because I helped them do it. I'm sure they wouldn't get the purpose of free play at all.

i should've been more clear. he can switch characters just fine. he's 5 btw. it's the switching of the different styles of characters (different batmans/robins/etc) so that he can solve puzzles. he's got he hang of some of it, just not all of it.

w/ the last marvel one, i just played through the entire thing. i opened up every character and let him go to town afterward. he likes the open aspect of it far more than he does the level aspect of it.

as for constantly asking if they have enough "money", my son does that all the time. drives me batshit insane. he'll ask if he does, i tell him he does and then he'll be like "oh, ok. i'll just save it for later." :lol:

Gotcha, so pretty much the same deal as my kids.

Re: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
 

Finished the story mode, looks like the closing credits may have teased the next Lego game.

Re: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
 

^^ If true, Day 1. I'm not big into the Lego games (my kids are though)... but that title has me intrigued.

Re: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
 

LEGO Jurassic Park is a confirmed upcoming LEGO product line and the existence of the game was leaked a while ago by Toys R Us.

The only spoiler here is that it is but its no big secret that the game is coming.

Re: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
 

I will say, this game seems a lot bigger than previous games. Once you beat the game, it opens up all the Lantern worlds, that have a ton of stuff to collect and find. I still would've liked an open world game like Marvel, though. Much easier for my kid to pick up and play that than it is segmented worlds.

Re: Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
 

I hit 100% in just under 40 hours and I'm very methodical in playing these LEGO games with the utmost efficiency. So I agree that this game is longer than most even without the big open world.

I haven't even touched the DLC yet.

LEGO Movie, on the other hand, took 18 hours.
