Lego Batman is a very fun game. It is probably the best in the "Lego(insert franchise here)" series. But, as usual, PC is the LAST priority for gaming publishers and it shows on this game.

While the other versions play near flawlessly, this game doesn't.

I can't knock it too much. After all, it's one of those few games for people with an older system to still be able to enjoy modern games instead of the same stuff released a while ago.

After all, it can run on a 1Ghz Pentium III with only 256MB of memory and a DVD drive. I have a computer like that in my basement. But, I ran this game on my new computer: A Core 2 Duo with 2GB of memory and a 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8000.

Yet still, a game that should run flawlessly on my system somehow....doesn't.

The game IS fun, and I have it beaten near 100%, but sometimes you need to adjust your graphical settings and make them LOWER in order to pass certain levels. Especially during the Penguin boss fight for the heroes.

I should be able to get sucked into a game, not to stop and pause to change my settings.

Also, the AI is dumber than dirt and 7/10 times the computer DAMPERS your progress instead of HELPING it. Isn't that the point of a partner? To HELP you instead of HARM you?

A couple words of advice:

-GET A CONTROLLER. The PC controls are horrible!

-GET A GUIDE. Half the time, you won't be able to figure it out unless you are directed.

-Keep your display at 800x600 and turn all graphical options off(Shadows, bloom, etc.) It runs faster like this and less bugs occur.

-If you can, GET A SECOND PERSON TO PLAY THIS WITH YOU. The computer is so DUMB,(especially during Free Play mode) that you NEED an actual PERSON to play. For example, when I change into a toxin-resistant character to pass a pile of poison, you expect your partner to file suit, right? WRONG! He just stands there running in circles like an idiot. True example. Happened to me on one of the Joker stages.

So, all in all, a great game. Great replay value, but a terrible translation of a sure fire winner.

You'd figure that with two Lego Star Wars games and Lego Indiana Jones already under their belts, Travelers Tales' Lego games would be getting kind of stale. Well, you'd figure wrong. Lego Batman features everything that was enjoyable with the aforementioned games, and slaps the Batman license on it to boot. Playing as the Caped Crusader and his sidekick Robin, you traverse a Lego-fied Gotham City and take on the usual rogues gallery of baddies. Fans of the Batman comics will be happy to see plenty of familiar faces: Joker, Nightwing, Batgirl, Hush, Bane, and plenty more are all here for your amusement. If you've played any of the previous Lego-based games, you should already know what to expect here, as Lego Batman offers up plenty of funny and comical moments supplemented with tons of unlockables and bonus characters to boot. The game looks good and even offers Danny Elfman's classic Batman theme, rounding out the presentation. The only downsides to Lego Batman are the same flaws that were apparent in previous Lego games: the difficulty is simple to say the least, and the game isn't that long at all. Still, with the hordes of unlockables to find that will hold your attention and keep you playing for a while. All in all, Lego Batman is a fun and family friendly diversion that anyone can enjoy and easily pick up and play.

I bought this because I love Batman and I loved the Lego Star Wars games, so I thought I couldn't go wrong. What I should have done is spent the extra money for the xbox copy. The PC version is so full of bugs, it even prevents me from completing some levels. They should have done more testing on this version.

This game is the best game for the Lego franchise. Updated and packed with action. The features of LEGO Batman. I'm only age 14, but even so this game is suitable for all ages ( Not meaning the ESRB rating) I mean how fun it is. I would recommend this, even though the system requirements say you can run this software on a older computer, that does not mean that the computer will lag and freeze. I recommend that you have a 3.0 Processor and 1.5 gig of Ram. I think that this game is great for any LEGO lover, and Batman lover

I liked the original concept, and Ive liked every version since. Its just a great light hearted game thats both fun and will make you laugh as it pokes a little fun at the original movie its portraying.
