- GamePro (90/100): "Full of surprises, humor and an all-star cast of playable characters, it's yet another solid reinvention of an established license. Plus, it has Batman in it!"
- GameDaily (80/100): "If you're sick and tired of LEGO games, then LEGO Batman: The Videogame probably won't change your mind. However, if you enjoy them as much as we do, then you shouldn't hesitate to shine the Bat-Signal and answer the call."
- IGN (77/100): "LEGO Batman is good fun, but it's really just the same thing we've seen before. I don't think the LEGO formula needs much of a change, but certainly the common issues with the series should no longer exist. If you're looking to have a laugh with a buddy or you want something kid-friendly, this is your game."
- Game Informer (75/100): "The charm of LEGO blocks is exploring your creativity and building new things, so Traveler's Tales' habit of sticking to one formula stands in stark contrast to the entire LEGO philosophy. We've had fun with this series, but it's time to dump the franchise out on the floor and start piecing it back into something new."
Metareview - Lego Batman
22
It's time again for another Lego [fill in the blank] title from Traveller's Tales. This time the blocky series follows the Dark Knight and his ward as they attempt to recapture the criminals of Gotham City who've escaped Arkham Asylum. The reviews seem to either take comfort in the familiarity the TT Lego franchise has brought so far, or squarely takes aim at Lego Batman for falling into the same pitfalls that the entire series has been plagued by.

These LEGO games are seriously pretty damn good. Fun games where you can turn your brain off, stop bitching about graphics and console wars, and just enjoy them.

Nice to see that Game Informer's scores don't have the balls that their text does. Oh to be owned by a video game retailer. There's no conflict of interest there for sure.

with respect, joystiq converts all scores to a 0/100 scale regardless of their original scale. In this case Game Informer uses a 0/10 scale which fortunately for you converts pretty well for you, so yeah they still are corporate slaves. I just wanted to let you know about the sacle since i was not aware until last week

Posting 4 out of 5 currently available reviews hardly constitutes a "Metareview," especially when you include the historically skewed Gamepro scores. I have a feeling this game won't average anywhere near 80, as this implies, when all is said and done.

That would actually be a pretty good idea FSK405K :)
One better if we're gonna milk a franchise.... LEGO World of Warcraft! Yeah.. that would be the badassedness of badassery.
On topic though...
I really enjoy the LEGO games and this one is pure Bat-goodness. Plus the co-op is a very nice touch when including any type of significant other :)
