10. A Tried and Tested Formula Although it may not be groundbreaking in the world of the newly and soon to be released video games of this year, LEGO Batman 2 is using the same formula which has made the previous games a success. There is the fact that this edition will appeal to gamers of all ages, whether it be the instantly recognisable characters from the comics who are known and loved, that have been adapted for almost every possible outlet or the attraction for an old school gamer from a bygone era where collecting things was still seen as the ultimate cool. You have the simple opt in, opt out multiplayer system which allows noncommittal play of the game by spectators that just want to give it a go. Or by backseat gamers that think their expertise in all things gaming can provide the answer to the stumbling block that keeps you from progressing. It has the comedy value which differentiates these games from any others in their genre, and this is something that Traveller's Tales does brilliantly. They introduce dark moments from the films and series they take their inspiration from and turn them into a game that is accessible to everyone, and they do it successfully repeatedly. And that is most certainly something to get excited about! If those reasons aren't enough for you, you can visit our
