I liked the LEGO Star Wars games when they first came out, but thought they could be too short, and LEGO Indie was fun but a little boring at times. LEGO Batman though, released back in 2008, was the first game to feature an original story, as well as doubling the number of levels and offering a wider range of characters with their own unique moves and characteristics, and is my favourite. Out next month is the games sequel, with its first trailer revealing Superman as a playable character, and IGN has a host of new game play footage available for you to watch, the video below showing some more of Batman's Justice League team mates, Green Lantern, The Flash, & Wonder Woman. This isn't even the best part, the game is now open world with tasks and challenges scattered around for you to find (once you've unlocked the right character, costume, or gadget of course), split-screen makes a welcome return (as the environment is now large enough for it not to seem obtrusive), and for the first time ever, in the licensed games at least, the characters can talk (which hopefully will mean a LEGO Batman movie, like The Padawan Menace Star Wars special). A demo will hopefully arrive in the coming weeks and I'll be sure to let you know how it plays.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is due for release on June 27th, but you can already enjoy the new toy line, be sure to look out for more game play footage.
