  Does the vita version have free roam like the consoles versions? Last lego game (Batman 2) the vita one was the same as the 3ds version with no free roam

    I don't know but tbh I prefer the non-free roam and so did my kids. We have it on Lego batman on PS3 and Vita and all preferred the Vita version.

        Please for the love of good don't look at metacritic, it's a broken POS.

        …explain? It's simply an average of reviews across the net.

        Because it's broken… It's not average of the reviews across the net, Metacritic gives each site has a weighted "value" basically, and that site will have more of an impact on the score then another site. That's just the start of why it's bad, there's a lot of other reasons why it's bad, user reviews for one, Sim City was bombarded with 0's from users. They don't take retractions for scores, if you put out a review, that's the only one they'll use, doesn't matter how many times you review it.

        edit: Almost forgot about the biggest issue, Publishers are now giving bonuses in their contracts to the developers if they get above a certain score on Metacritic, and when metacritic is using a stupid weighted system for scores, it's completely unfair, especially when they don't allow transactions. Publishers will be less inclined to give that developer money to make another game if they dont get a score of say "90". I think it was LA Noire? It was an amazing game, that missed out on the bonus by ONE point, because of the arbitrary system that MetaCritic uses.

        Interesting. I was not aware if this. I try not to look at the main score but more at the individual critic reviews. I don't even bother looking at the user reviews. Ill keep this in mind

        I find it best to watch a youtube reviewer that doesn't give you a score, but rather tells you what's good/bad about the game, and you make your own mind up. It's much better doing it that way.

  SuBw00FeR please remove the link to the 3DS version. It is region locked to the US and will not work on Aus systems.

  • 

    SuBw00FeR on 26/03/2013 - 15:24

    Oh right, forgot about that, I'll keep it there but i'll say that's it's region is US, thanks for pointing out!

      Yeah there are quite a few US 3DS users on whirlpool who might like a US version.

  In terms of game play I would give all Vita/3DS Lego games high marks. The reason they receive lower grades though is due to the low quality cut scenes and fairly poor multi player aspect. Its a little known fact that Lego Batman 2 had online multiplayer for Vita. It was never mentioned in most reviews as the devs never made it easy to find or use.
  If you can over look these then there is a great portable Lego game hiding in there.

  Thanks. Picked up Lego Batman Vita as well for around $20.
