OK, I figured I was looking for a cheap thrill and bit on Lego Batman 2.

I love the idea and enjoy the game overall but the controls are more painful than I've experienced in a long time.

So, I'm opening voting on the topic up for 14 days.

You can also change your vote during that time if you'd like.

Should I write a review of this game or just let it go?

I have to say I love the concept - I just wish the interface didn't drive me crazy all the time.

Thoughts?

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Would a full review really hurt anyone? No.

I wouldn't mind a review. I've toyed with picking up various Lego games for the kids, but never pulled the trigger.

This reminds me...my older daughter just brought home a Lego Star Wars game for the Wii. So reading up on Lego Batman would prepare me somewhat.

Keep in mind that this review is for the PC version of the game.

It's obvious to me that the major problem is the interface: the game was designed from top to bottom to be a console game and it performs poorly on a PC. Starting with the fact that there is no mouse support...and rolls downhill from there.

How about a partial review?  I've played Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones, preferring Star Wars.
Any time is a good time for pie.

I was actually thinking of getting the PC version so a review would be useful. No mouse support sounds like a deal-breaker to me. Still if the overall game play and story are good, I could see grabbing the Xbox version instead.

Good feedback.

It's not central to what we play, but it's good to know other folks are interested.

Definitely do a review if there is no mouse support.

as a gateway game to get the kids playing I think it's a great tool, so let's go for it

+1. My daughter is 7 and am thinking a lot these days about how to introduce her to various forms of gaming.

meh...  If you do a review I'll read it but I won't ever buy the game.


Now when they do a Lego LOTR game I'll be all over that like a fat man on a buffet.   ;D

The Lego LOTR line is coming out any day now. A game can't be that far off.
