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
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 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.
