Lego Batman 3

[xt1me]

A good while back I bought a Humble Bundle for charity and one of the games in it was Lego Batman 3.

I had played Lego Lord of the Rings before and enjoyed it so I figured it'd be fun to play.
I played to the 2nd level were a mind-controled batman is firing missiles and got too motion sick to play the rest of the game since the inter screen shakes when a missile hits and it's happening constantly through the level.

So it's been sitting there, barely started, for ages. I finally decided to try and force my way through the level in the hopes that the rest of the game is less sick induing.

No other level is as bad as that one thankfully but it's still pretty bad in places. I basically had to close my eyes or look away in bits in order to finish the game. I also did it at a bit at a time.

Still, I did finish it. It was disappointing to find out collecting the gold bricks did nothing. In Lego Lord of the Rings the Mithril bricks (instead of gold to stay on theme) could be used to get special weapons.

I also forgot to turn on the red bricks when I got them which I remember is something I did the last time as well. The fact that you have to collect the bricks, buy the bricks and then turn them on in the menu before them work is just too many steps.

Of course once you have a few multipliers active as well as the attract studs brick you can basically afford everything so it not so bad that you have to buy things as well as collect them.

I didn't have any of the DLCs so once you finish all the collection it's very lackluster.
You get a stud fountain in a room off to the side of the watchtower and that's it.

Whatever, I wasn't expecting much from cash grab the game.

I did discover that not only does the screen shaking make my motion sickness kick in but also those little hub planets have a horrible camera angle that keeps swinging around that makes me sick as well.

I honestly don't know why I stuck with it to finish the game.
 
Opps, I forgot to mention anything about the plot.
Manly because it does the job fine. Villains attack the Watchtower, the villains get defeated. Brainiac turns up and everyone has to fight the new bad guy. It's simple, it strings together all the action, puzzles and collecting nicely. Batman learns to be nicer to his friends in the end.
It's a kids game. It's fine.
