I was surprised that Temple of Doom was probably the most playable of the three chapters, since it’s my least favorite movie of the three. I did appreciate how much of the darkness was removed from the series to make it okay (in my opinion, again) for children.

I don’t think a Lego Batman would be too dark though – not when you consider that they managed to do Indiana jones without undue nastiness. Cast your mind back to the opening sequence of Raiders – and all those impaled corpses. Or the heart-ripping, lava-burning, baddie-crushing, blood-drinking, croc-munching ickiness of the Temple of Doom.

Has a Lego Batman been confirmed though? I would have thought it would have happened long before now, as Lego has been selling Batman stuff much longer than its Indy range.

The Lego Batman game has more possibilities for characters (particularly on the villan side of things) but I’m concerned to see what they do with the mature/dark themes that have been in the franchise in the past couple decades… (I can’t imagine they’d go overboard with it, but it is always a danger…)

I think that one thing that I really liked with LSW was the real variety in characters – they really felt different in more ways than in Indy. Plus, there really aren’t many other characters I (and my kids) want to play as other than the man with the hat & whip

That said, I felt the game stayed true to its previous roots. I didn’t play both (all 3?) of the previous Star Wars Lego games, so I may be less innoculated to the game.
