And, again, it is fully voiced, using the dialogue and music stripped straight out of the films. Yes, again, you do still have the levels, which cover the major parts of the 3 films, but outside of those you can explore middle earth and the game plays out as a Lego RPG, you get quests to complete, crafting recipes to unlock, mithril to find to craft those items. Lego LotR is also an open world game, but rather than being a city game, you get the entirety of middle earth to explore. Oh, and you get to fly around Gotham as Superman and the iconic Superman theme plays in the background. Watching Robin fawn over a dull witted Superman like a 12 year old fan girl is genuinely laugh out loud funny. The script is brilliant, and at times outright hilarious. As a bonus, it is also the first Lego game to be completely voiced, and they introduce more characters like Superman and Lex Luthor. Despite it being a Lego game, it is as complete an experience as Arkham City is, and personally I couldn't honestly say that one is either a better game OR a better adaptation of the Batman licence. You still get the levels like all Lego games have, but you also have an open world Gotham to explore. The older games all had a basic format, you had a little hub area that had doors branching off them to individual levels. Lego Batman 2 and Lego LotR are far and away better than all the others, so much so that they just don't compare.
