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.
After nearly a dozen releases, the LEGO franchise has found a concept and a set-up that work well, even if it doesn't stretch the limits of gameplay ingenuity. It is for that reason that LEGO Batman 3 serves as a solid entry in the library, but not an exceptional one.
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: Beyond Gotham struggles to maintain balance with its cast of characters constantly pushing one another from the spotlight, and suffers from many of the series' routine issues. On the other hand, it brings to the table an experience DC and Lego fans will not-soon forget: an action-packed adventure, plenty of charm and moments of bona fide hilarity.
Lego Batman 3 may not be the greatest adventure — or even the greatest LEGO adventure — on the Wii U, but it's certainly still well worth a look for series fans. Repetitive gameplay elements and some occasionally awkward controls bring down the Dark Knight's latest, and the lack of an explorable open world feels like a step back from its predecessor, but fun writing, excellent co-op, and lots of LEGO charm are more than enough to seal the deal for DC devotees.
