While the linear nature isn’t a huge problem, it was something I noticed right off the bat. There are over 100 playable characters throughout the DC Universe so there is plenty for fans to dig into and unlock. Gamers will get to play as not only Batman, but also Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, The Flash, several Green Lanterns, Cyborg, and even some bad guys like Killer Croc and the Joker. The game features characters from the whole of the DC Universe this time so it’s especially fun for those, like myself, who are big fans of DC.

Lego Batman 3 is very story driven and the dialogue and cutscenes are fun and well written. Some gamers may find this frustrating, but for those who play more for the storyline, this isn’t that bad. There are plenty of explanations along the way and there is very little doubt or question as to where to go next.

The game is really geared for a younger audience so the linear nature really isn’t that bad. I think in Lego Batman 3’s case, it’s not the worst thing in the world. In some cases, a game that is heavily linear can lessen the experience. Lego Batman 3 on the other hand is very linear. In Lego City Undercover, the game is very open and players can explore a lot more freely. One key difference between Lego Batman 3 and Lego City Undercover is how players progress through the game. I should mention that while I haven’t played a prior Lego Batman game, I have played Lego City Undercover for the Wii U. Certain objects in the environment, when destroyed, can be used to build new items that can help players progress. In Lego Batman 3, players will be creating plenty of unique objects in Batman’s universe but they will also be demolishing a hefty portion of the environment as well. So creating is a big component, but also destroying and subsequently re-creating objects is key. One of the core concepts with Lego bricks is the ability to create pretty much anything under the sun. At its core, Lego games, Lego Batman 3 included, are third-person adventure games with an emphasis on collecting. If you haven’t played any Lego game whatsoever, I’ll give a basic overview of the gameplay. Let’s just hop in and see how Lego Batman 3 is for the 3DS! I don’t have any prior knowledge that could cloud my judgement on the game but I also don’t know if they’ve improved/deprecated anything from the past games either.

I don’t have any prior experience with the Lego Batman series which is good and bad.
