Lego Batman on your iPhone

LEGO Batman on your iPhone and iPod Touch

LEGO Batman: Gotham City Games is designed exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

What is the difference from Lego Batman: The Video game is it is described by the developers as a "companion game" to the full version of the game.

Take on a variety of challenges thrown at you by the Heroes and Villains of Gotham. Throughout Gotham City you will find 16 classic stylized minigames that take you from deep within the heart of Wayne Manor, through the night’s sky piloting the swift LEGO Batwing, and even solve some of The Riddler’s most mind bending puzzles. Each challenge is linked together by a brand new story, shown through beautiful hand rendered cut scenes, backed by a full orchestral soundtrack.

Instead of the expected 3D action game, iPhone users are given a series of "stylized minigames" tied together with comicbook scenes. As an example, "Batman Boxing" is simply a Simon-like memory game where players repeat taps on a punching bag in the given order.


Master each game to become a True Hero or True Villain to unlock bonus content including never-before-seen artwork, trailers and wallpapers. Wallpapers can be saved onto your pictures library and can be accessed via the settings menu on your iPhone or iPod Touch to brighten up your handset.

Price of the game is $5.99. It's hard to see even die hard Batman fans willing to pay that price for this collection of simplistic mini-games.
Why? Because it is more of a platform to advertise "real" games rather than a contender along with Psp, Nintendo DS, etc.
I suggest you buy the full version and use it on real gaming platform like Ps3 and Wii. iPhone and iPod Touch will be there alongside the great gaming platform but not now....not today!
