Both characters have unique powers they can access by changing their suits. They can both fight and the inactive character is always controlled by the computer AI. The environments can be explored using a number of gadgets such as the batarang and the grappling hook, and players can switch between the two characters at any time. Enemies will often respawn endlessly until the player figures out how to progress.

The first half of the game, players control Batman and his sidekick Robin to take on all enemies with typical brawler gameplay.

A cast of villains has escaped from Arkham Asylum and now roam through Gotham City wreaking havoc. The animations and sequences are rather quirky and share nothing with the darker atmosphere of the contemporary Batman movies. It is not based on a certain movie or comic, but on the franchise as a whole with a new story. Most of the environments are side-scrolling with a fixed camera perspective, but in 3D with quite some depth. The basic concept is the same, with characters and objects built up using LEGO blocks, but here shown against surroundings drawn in a regular fashion. Lord of the Rings I can't speak as kindly about, but I like the IP enough that I'd play both versions, that's a personal call you'll have to make.Not an American user? DescriptionContinuing the tradition of adapting known franchises such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones with visuals based on LEGO, this game takes on the Batman universe. But the appeal of collecting the full roster and doing some isometric 3D platforming is still there. Doesn't have any co-op/multiplayer, and I'd assume that any of the post-story levels or bonus games are removed as well. I know that they're still enjoyable as incredibly casual gaming experiences, Marvel Superheroes, which I think is still in physical production (or they sold so few that there are tons of copies being sold online) is one that I own and have put a very small amount of time into loses the open-world hub for a purely linear, level-based progression. I can't recall specifically if Batman experienced that. Unfortunately, I've found that every single title after that had a separate release with different content and arguably reduction in quality. The last title I remember being an exact port was the first Indiana Jones - it's literally the same exact game on all platforms, with only some minor graphical reductions made for the PSP release.
