LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham retains all the charms of the other Lego games, but really does nothing that the other games has not done before. Yet it still may be worth purchasing for DC and Batman fans due to its many references and easter eggs.

Critic Reviews for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Lego Batman 3 has loads of great DC characters and missions, but suffers from an inconsistent tone.
Poor pacing and the worst celebrity voiceovers of the year mar what could have been the definitive Lego game, but in the end is just another fun but shallow co-op game amongst many.
Lego Batman 3 has all the ingredients of the other, enjoyable, Lego superhero games, but is let down by clunky controls, poor signposting and questionable translations of well-known comic book personalities.
A hefty experiences that bounces all over the place, but is still strong at its core
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham celebrates the history of Batman while offering loads of extra content.
Lego Batman 3, like other Lego games before, explores a wealth of characters and locales from the universe it focuses on. Unfortunately, it doesn't come together as well as it could have. The tone is inconsistent, certain levels won't hit fans emotionally, and the inclusion of celebrity cameo characters detracts for the experience at times. It's good, not great.
Fans of the Justice League (or DC comics in general) will get a lot of enjoyment out of this game, but I wouldn't recommend playing if you're looking for a Batman adventure. There's simply too much fun to be had in the DC universe to give it all to one man. As far as Lego games go, it's not perfect, but it delivers a solid story and a plethora of DC characters to play around with, which is more than ICE can ask for.
