I went in completely nostalgia blind to when I played the ever-living crap out of the Wii version when I was a little kid (83 hours from that alone), and if I'm being completely honest, it still mostly holds up. Well, the hero campaign does at least. The concept of the villain campaign is so cool, but it is the most irritating experience I've had with Lego ever since The Complete Sagas vehicle missions. There are so many cops and SWAT members spawning to the point that it's super irritating and really drags out a missions length-time, since one punch from them causes you to stop focusing on whatever puzzle or build you were just doing to fight the enemy. I'm glad this is something they fixed in the later games, because it just becomes an annoying nuisance. Also the vehicle missions do suck in this game, that's a common complaint I've heard across the board. The thing is I actually enjoyed the first vehicle mission, it was kind of fun. But the moment I got into the boat mission, I remembered why people hated them. Overall still a good experience, but I don't see myself playing this one again over other Lego games. Case in point, I 100%'d Lego Batman 3 for the fourth time before even finishing the villain campaign for this game.
