Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced the release of LEGO Batman: The Videogame earlier this week. Available for Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii and PC, LEGO Batman: The Videogame features a completely original storyline. Gotham City's most notorious criminals have escaped from Arkham Asylum and it's up to Batman and Robin to take them down. Well, that part might not be original, but the way the story unfolds is.

Like the LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones video games before it, LEGO Batman: The Videogame blends the Batman universe with the building and fun elements of LEGO, but unlike those games LEGO Batman gives players the opportunity to play the paths of both the heroes and the villains. The game includes two unique paths, one beginning in Arkham Asylum (villains) and the other beginning in the Batcave (heroes), with 15 action-packed levels each. You can save Gotham as the LEGO versions of Batman, Robin, Alfred and Batgirl, or leave a path of destruction behind you as The Joker, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face and other Batman universe villains.

LEGO Batman: The Videogame also includes a number of legendary Batman vehicles, including the Batmobile, the Batwing, Robin's bike and more. There's also a selection of ability enhancing suit upgrades available for players to unlock. Of course, a LEGO video game wouldn't be complete without jump-in/jump-out cooperative multiplayer gameplay, and LEGO Batman' s got it.

LEGO Batman: The Videogame is available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii for $49.99 USD/CAD or for Playstation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS or PC for $29.99 USD/CAD and is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and up.


LEGO Batman: The Videogame Playstation 2 Bundle

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) also announced the release of a brand new Playstation 2 bundle this week, coinciding with the release of LEGO Batman . The LEGO Batman: The Videogame Playstation 2 bundle is now available for $149.99 USD/CAD and includes a Playstation 2 console, one DUALSHOCK 2 controller, a copy of LEGO Batman: The Videogame and a copy of Justice League: The New Frontier DVD, based on Darwyn Cooke's award-winning graphic novel.
