I picked this up as part of those free giveaways on the Epic Games Store, though I originally owned it on the PlayStation 2. I didn't really intend to revisit it, but I thought it would be fun to mess around with the character creator again, so I downloaded it. Ended up being disappointed when the textures for the creator wouldn't load except for the heads. It's a bug that seems exclusive to the copy Epic offers, from what I read online. Not sure what's going on there or if it has been fixed.

While the gameplay is really not too different from the other early titles, I think this one suffers a lot for not being based on a film series. Even though you might be tricked into thinking that it was because it borrows heavily from the films made by Tim Burton, even using the score. Levels often feel repetitive and lack the set pieces that would otherwise distinguish them from one another in other Traveller's Tales Lego games. It all feels very generic at times, with lots of lairs dictated by a villain's aesthetic and far too many Gotham streetscapes.

If you tend to pick up most of the free game giveaways that go on, you might have ended up with the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit Lego games that I'd at least recommend over this. It's ok but doesn't quite offer the same experience as ones I've played that act as movie tie-in games.
