Maybe I’m more of a Star Wars fan than I like to admit to myself: when the Lego Indiana Jones demo was a disappointment, I decided that the good writers and designers were too busy with the Batman game, but it turns out that I find Lego Batman just as boring.

I don’t know if the Star Wars universe is more appropriate to legoification, or it’s the locations that were interesting rather than the characters (while Indiana Jones takes place in generic jungle, and the Batman game has no connection with any movie), or the idea of Lego games was just more fresh at the time, but I just know that I’m not interested in this one more than I was in Lego Indy.

Plus, the messy controls and stupid co-op AI were acceptable for the first game in the franchise, but you might have expected the developers to improve on them since then.
