Lego Batman Demo

Despite his all-black outfit and the scary gadgets he carries around everywhere he goes, Batman can be made to look quite silly and funny, by simply transforming him into a tiny LEGO toy. Moreover, the entire clientele of Arkham Asylum can quickly become lovable and amusing, regardless of the fact that they are all criminals and would stop at nothing to see Batman fail.

The main story behind Lego Batman is that all the patients residing in the infamous Arkham Asylum have escaped, causing chaos and havoc throughout Gotham's streets. Since no one else can do it, Batman is the one that must capture and put them all back where they belong, together with his best friend Robin and a wide range of gadgets and useful machinery.

On the other hand, the game allows you to play as the villains as well, which in turn enables you to see the story from the opposite point of view as well. Among the many characters that can be unlocked and used to go through the levels, you can find the notorious Joker, Harley Quinn and various other bad guys from the Batman universe, all of which come with their own special abilities.

One of the things that makes the Lego games so popular is the fact that they can easily be played in cooperative mode, which means that two or more players can explore the missions and work together to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead. Moreover, this can even be done on the same computer, whether by using the keyboard, or much more accessible gamepads.

Although the heroes have a life bar, they cannot exactly die altogether, regardless of what happens to them. The main concern, however, is the fact that you lose the points accumulated over the course of the mission, which leaves you unable to unlock certain elements, or take advantage of special abilities that make your life easier.

In the end, Lego Batman manages to achieve its purpose and provides you with a very entertaining experience throughout the story, as well as countless hours of gameplay in multiplayer, whenever you want to have some fun with your friends and save Gotham City in the process.
