While I doubt it will convince those bored of LEGO games otherwise, LEGO DC Super-Villains is a fun entry into the series that embraces its evil side for something a little more interesting than normal.

Having been disappointed by Lego The Incredibles, confused by Lego Ninjago The Movie’s linear approach, and slightly underwhelmed by the obscure roster of Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, I am happy to report that Lego DC Super-Villains is a real return to form for Traveller’s Tales. It eclipses Lego Batman 2 to become my joint favourite alongside the first Lego Marvel Super Heroes; this is an essential play for any fan of comics, Lego games, or fun in general! Particularly when played in local co-op, there is so much to do and explore here without even considering the emergent and environmental fu...

The sound and music are fine aside from some small technical issues. Occasionally sound effects wouldn’t play when there was a lot going on in the scene. Maybe there is something wrong with the hierarchy of sound effects or this is just another minor glitch. I loved that the soundtrack is orchestrated, that’s a big plus for me because it falls in line with the superhero theme and builds up the epic nature of the semiotic domain that this is known for. Likewise, the voice acting is incredible. There is a outstanding line up of voice work here, from featured voices like Mark Hamill, Gina Tor…

A neat continuation of the LEGO DC series, Super-Villains offers a neat twist in casting your custom character and a range of iconic faces from the comic books as the protagonists in a raucously fun story. Yes, it's the same old LEGO game that you'll have played several times before, but damn it, it's still good. And indeed, good to be bad.

I want to like this game, but the same bugs keep coming up time and time again in these LEGO games, which made me dread playing it. Get LEGO Batman 2: DC Super-Heroes, and wait for a sale.

LEGO DC Super Villains is another example of how TT Games haven’t just sat back on its LEGO titles to simply release “just another game” with a reskin. It doesn’t always work, but the developer has tried to do something new while also keeping elements of previous titles that worked. Add in the iconic slapstick humour and you’re in for a reliably good time.

I'm ultimately sad to see that I have grown out of a franchise I once loved, with underlying problems that I may have not noticed as a child building on top of one another to make LEGO DC Super-Villains much less enjoyable than I thought it would be. I may still return to LEGO DC Super-Villains in the future if I'm in the mood for some DCAU voice acting or want to play the TV show and movie themed DLC, but at this point I can tell that I'm done with the LEGO franchise as a whole, which is a shame.

5/10

LEGO DC Super-Villains does little to distinguish itself from past LEGO games, to the point that it still features some of the franchise's trademark technical issues and glitches. It's not revolutionary in any sense of the word and playing more than one level at a time may result in extreme boredom. However, its huge roster of playable characters is impressive and its focus on villains helps things feel at least a little fresh. Most will be fine skipping it, but since there's not a lot of couch co-op options available nowadays, it may be worth looking into after it's been deeply discounted.

Lego DC Super Villains continues the trend of recent Lego games looking fantastic. I love that that each minifig and build looks as if it was made from real Lego. Each iconic character is made even more realistic through the game’s top-notch voicework. Legendary voice talent like Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong, and Michael Rosenbaum all voice the characters that they’re known for, and they do it perfectly. Also as a Reverse Flash fanboy, I was immensely excited to hear C. Thomas Howell return as the Flash’s greatest rival.
