The lack of ability to get the game running in windowed mode was also an annoyance. None of my PC controllers would work right and even when I tried to alter the controls of my keyboard and mouse setup the game would just freeze completely accepting no inputs whatsoever. Unfortunately, I then had to deal with the game crashing three times when I attempted to change my controls so that stopped the tickling right away. I gotta admit that tickled my nostalgia bone. The game starts and we are treated to a cutscene showing LEGO Batman taking down LEGO joker gang members in LEGO Gotham, while the familiar Batman the Animated Series theme plays in the background. It’s not the comic book game that you’ve been waiting for. It’s not a huge revolution for the LEGO franchise. But after playing the game for a while I can honestly say… it’s OK. So when I was given LEGO Batman 3 to review, I’ll admit that I didn’t come into the experience with high hopes. I don’t really buy into the whole “Batman can beat everyone” fan craze. In addition, I’m not the biggest fan of Batman. I have a lot of friends who enjoy these games, just for their sheer mindless fun, but for me they always seemed shallow and kind of repetitive. These games always seemed way too generic to me.
