I think this is the best lego game yet because:*) Gameplay has improved, it really feels that it is a new engine. This is not a remake of previos lego games, it is similar but feel better.*) Original story with voice acting. My PC version has English, Spanish and more spoken laguages. It is more appealing to know what will happens next than with already known stories like Harry Potter. I think Harry Potter makes no sense storywise.*) Characters and Suits are so different between them that better co-operation is achievable, as compared with other franchises were characters are too similar.*) Open World is great. My kids enjoy a lot fooling around in Pirates of the Caribbean and Clone Wars, so I know this will be a great feature here.Only two bad things:*) This game demands more machine specs than previuos lego games. I have an old Alienware m15 with NVIDIA 8800M GTX were we have played all previos lego games, even the newest like Clone Wars, Pirates and Harry Potter. But this game runs kind of sluggish there, playable but with some lags. Myabe I need more RAM, but we ended up playing on our newest custom built computer with an ATI Radeon HD 6900 which of course its more than enough. You don't need latest graphics adapter, but will not run on an old machine.*) I usually buy downloaded games, I don't like to have the DVD around.My conclusion is that this is the best lego game that I have played in many many years, great for co-op between brothers, friends or even dad and kid. Go for it, but if your PC is kind of old, just go with the console Versions and avoid frusration.I purchased this Lego Batman 2 DC Superheroes game. I'll just go ahead and start listing the issues.1. The game is damn near impossible to play on the keyboard. You cannot use your mouse. And it gives no instructions on what controllers would be compatible if any. I want to buy a controller and cannot find anywhere online which one I can use. And the mini pamphlet it comes with is useless. I see people online ALL saying they used a controller instead. Well, which one? Please, to the seller, email me and let me know this answer. I want to be able to actually USE the game I purchased. This game is so much better on tablets. I found this game on my sons Amazon free time tablet and started playing it. He wasn't about me taking over his tablet, so I bought the game. Now I can't even play it.2. I received no product code with the game. All of the LEGO superhero games are supposed to be ran with Steam. When you order the Lego Marvel Superheroes game, for instance, Steam pops up immediately and you can start the game through that by typing in the product code provided. This did no such thing, even though it was supposed to. Without the product code, I can't even do it by myself either.The port to the PC needs a LOT of work.Unlike any of my other games, this game crashes quite frequently.My PC is just over a year old, and has plenty of CPU, memory, and graphics horsepower.Yet, the only way I was able to complete the game was using a beta video driver from nVidia and setting the resolution to the lowest setting (800 x 600).Tech support from WB Games was not very helpful (provided the usual suggestions like disabling certain startups and reinstalling the game).Having said that, I think the best part of this game is getting to use other DC super heroes.And with Superman, you get to fly around Gotham -- while the (John Williams) Superman theme music plays.Maybe this will lead to a Justice League Lego game.I buy these games for my children, and they are fun but Traveller's Tales needs to let us play them before releasing them because I find so many bugs, game freezes, spots where characters get stuck, things that won't work under certain conditions, etc.I believe this was the first game with the free play map. Marvel Superheroes was later, and it shows. It is so frustrating that while you are switching characters, the other player's gameplay stops abruptly. Also, the flying controls are terrible. These things were mostly fixed in the Marvel game.It's a fun game to play with your kids, or by yourself, but some aspects like I mentioned above are just maddeningly frustrating.The game itself is very fun and the story line is entertaining. The in mission controls are great, no issues there. However, for some reason the makers of the game decided to change the controls when outside of the mission and in the hub. Specifically how flying characters are controlled. I have no clue why they decided to make it different when in a mission as opposed to outside of the mission, but the flying control in the hub is so clunky and ridiculous that it seriously made me not want to get 100% completion and just settle for beating the game. Too bad really, because it was fun, the missions anyway.The only reason I didn't give this five stars is that the game randomly freezes. Very frustrating. We have the right OS and hardware... just seems to be a quirk. Annoying but does not happen frequently. Just enough to upset a kid deep into the game.Wonderful graphics. Love this game.Have received 2 disk now and will not install without an error. Tried on 4 machines with xp and 7 and get the same errorSomething about permissions and cannot find the game file. I finally got it to work by disabling AVG. The new AVG will disable till restart. I took it off mine completely as it will not run or install with it on. After this it is a great game and I love the talking legos. Amazons return policy is great and super fast shipping on the second disk.Thanks againThe graphics on the PC version really pop with a high-end graphics card. While maintaining the typical lego-style graphics, so many of the details are really sharp on the PC. The game play is great, and has kept the boys going for days!Too expensive, after ordering I came across a pre-used game in excellent condition for INR 200/- only.
