The Dark Knight Rises: 5 Video Games You Should Play First

By Alex Martinet /

5. DC Universe Lego Batman 2

Number five is really basic. This is the newest title on our list and it wouldn€™t be a surprise to me if this were higher on other people's list. DC Universe Lego Batman 2 is a kid friendly game, but don€™t let that diminish your view on the title. Lego Batman 2 follows the same formula used in previous Lego games. Unlike previous Lego games, every character is voiced. This is a cool treat for fans that enjoyed the Batman Animated Series as many of the cast members from the cartoons actually appear in the game. What makes this game great is the amount of content at hand for the gamer. In Lego Batman 2, you aren€™t just playing as Batman but the Justice League have tagged along this time. Each character you control from Superman to The Flash plays differently, giving you new and rewarding gameplay experience. One negative of the game is that Nightwing wasn€™t playable. I am a big fan of Dick Grayson€™s Robin and was disappointed by his absence. It was fun to play as both Batman and Superman, (made me forget about Superman N64 for a split second) while collecting one brick at a time.
