Played the DS version recently, not a game that I have a significant amount of opinions on but enough to log for myself. It's quite different from the console version in a lot of ways, the level design is altered I assume to fit the DS' limitations? I don't know anything about technical stuff for consoles so just a guess. They compensate for this with far more characters than the main console versions, including some that wouldn't even appear in the follow up to this on console either, like Azrael and Zsasz. As one of the earlier Lego games of its kind (along with Complete Saga and Indiana Jones), the hub world is just kind of there in both versions rather than the interesting stuff that would show up later (originally on the sequel to this one), and as such once you've beaten the main games you will get caught on a fair whack of grinding if you don't have the cash to pick up the keys which are required for a lot of free play stuff. Essentially it's a fun mindless playthrough but once you've beaten the story it isn't the most engaging to 100%. Though i'm sure I did it on console as a child, and I also used to know some of the cheats off by heart. Good game and a fun reminisce.
