LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes for PlayStation Vita Reviews by Gamers

I received my PlayStation Vita as a gift from my brother the day after it hit shelves. Since I have GameFly, I've stopped buying console games but I still spend $40 on Vita titles since it's a portable device. I simply want some games to take on the go, so before I get into any details, you must first know that I had not seen any gameplay footage or heard any news on this game before buying. All I was going on was how the first game was, which was fun. Now, on with the review. The first thing I noticed was that the graphics didn't seem quite as good, which is fine considering it's a Vita title. What really shocked me was that this was the first Lego game to feature voices, which is an excellent touch. The voices fit the characters quite well, and the dialogue is really true to the characters. Gameplay is as solid as ever, the new superheros are an absolute blast to play as, and collecting studs is even more addicting this time. Once I had completed the main story, which seemed shorter than it should have been, I got about 90% of the collectibles and was satisfied. Later I looked up footage on Xbox 360, and was stunned. Much like past games that were ported onto the PlayStation Portable, Lego Batman 2 has it's own portable console version with the same name. You can't explore the massive Lego Gotham City like in the console versions, which takes away a lot of the playability for me. After doing a bit more digging, I saw that most of the story mode and plot points were exactly the same, and I calmed down. Even before I knew what I was missing, I was praising this game for being a nice experience. Although I'm a little disappointed that the Vita hardware isn't as powerful as I thought, this is still a very fun game to take on the go. Everything is still as fun as a Lego game can be, and it's a great addition to any Vita owner's collection. If you're looking for the full experience, though, definitely get one of the console versions.
