Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Lego Batman* - if you could post a

link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/There are a few companies out there that enjoy remaking slightly

tweaked or re-skinned versions ofthe same game, over and again -- but

there are only a few games that can do it and still keep it fresh.

Nintendo does it with Zelda, //Mario and //Metroid (and is losing its

knack if you ask me). BioWare has done it with //KOTOR and //Mass Effecct.

Traveller's Tales is now trying it too with / /Lego Star Wars (in all

its iterations and forms), //Lego Indy and //Lego Batman -- and frankly

the cracks are beginning to show.

The gameplay is tired, dull and repetitive. There's nothing here we

haven't already seen and what there is, just isn't as funny as it all

used to be because we've seen it to many times. It's very much gaming by

a formula -- and this is a formula which has been done into the ground.

Overused and underwhelming, / /Lego Batman isn't really all that bad a

game and if it's your entrance to the series then you may get a laugh or

tow out of it though it is by far the weakest in the franchise. If

you've played any of the previous //Legos though then now is a good time

to move on.

*Cheers guys!
