![]() While I am one of the suckers that has to buy it, it feels dirty knowing there are three substantial pieces of content available on day one. LEGO Batman 3 also plays host to a season pass of DLC content, of which half is available at launch. The humor wears thin, and I wish they had been omitted entirely. Hearing the same lines spouted time and time again gets old, and quick. Now, I love Conan O’Brien and Kevin Smith as much as the next person, but their dialogue and repetition in this game is annoying. One of the downsides with this entry is the inclusion of celebrities. Playing with my son is great, but there are boring sessions of repeating levels I would love to play with friends online if for nothing more than someone to chat with while I dig through the monotony. ![]() I really wish they would craft an online component for these games. Playing with friends returns, again only in local form. It will take months to uncover it all, and that is only if I find the time among the busy release season. There are also scavenger missions for Bat-Mite, characters to be found, golden blocks and the usual ilk of collectibles scattered throughout the game. Batman and Robin can switch suits on-the-fly, along with a host of other characters. The suit system returns and becomes much more manageable now with a selector wheel. There are tons of things to discover, and returning to levels with new characters is a must. I am still amazed at people who can 100% these games. Over 150 characters, references to all manner of DC lore and even Bat-Mite mans the tutorials. Still, it is hard not to marvel at the sheer amount of content squeezed into this game. Sure, the core game play remains the same tear through levels, collect studs and solve obscure puzzles, but at times I found myself simply going through the motions as I progressed through each increasingly large level. It seems TT Games tried so hard to squeeze in every ounce of DC fan service, they lost sight of keeping this a cohesive experience. The Green Lantern corps plays a large role, and Batman’s voice changes part way through the game. This story mostly focuses on Robin as opposed to Batman.
