You Can Bank On Batman--Lego Batman

YAY!!! Lego Batman finally dropped in price!!!!

I got this a couple of days ago, but Secret Of Monkey Island and new songs on Guitar Hero World Tour had to take priority.

First level was really good. The story places you right in the think of things as Batman and Robin go after various criminals who escaped from Arkham.

The best part of this level (and hopefully the whole game) is you can see right away where you need to play through in Free Play to get everything. It isn't always "Use a different character to open a door" type stuff like in past games, it's mostly stuff that is right there. you can see the studs and the mini kits, but you can't get to them. It's frustrating and exiting at the same time, because they are just out of reach :)

The only really annoying part was the fight against Clayface. You have to use the Demolition Suit to defeat him, but it is hard to lure him near the bombs. I managed to get him trapped in an ally and just kept dropping them there until he retreated into the bank, then it got easier.

Over all, a good start to the game. It was a bit frustrating, but the fight against Clayface was a nice change of pace from the "hit them til they die" boss fights in the other games. I got a few Minikit pieces, and unlocked the Natural Habitat, Eat Floor...High Fiber, Boy Wonder, and Shot To The Goon achievements and unlocked the Demolition Suit and Tech Suit. Over all, a great way to start the game.
