Play Lego Batman 2 - Dc Super Heroes Online

I picked up LEGO Batman 2 on the Nintendo DS back in 2012, a time when the handheld was still full of life. It was developed by Traveller's Tales, the same studio behind most of the LEGO games, so I knew what kind of experience to expect. This one stood out because it brought the wider DC universe into the mix, which was a first for the LEGO Batman series on the DS.

You primarily control Batman and Robin, switching between them to use their unique gadgets and abilities to solve puzzles and fight enemies. The main goal is to stop the Joker and Lex Luthor from taking over Gotham City. The gameplay is built around screen by screen exploration, where you break objects to collect LEGO studs and use character specific powers to access new areas. You also get to unlock and play as other DC heroes like Superman, who can fly and use heat vision. The pacing is generally steady, with simple combat and puzzles that don't get too difficult, making it a relaxed experience. It feels satisfying to smash through a room and see all the studs pop out, building up your collection piece by piece.
