LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes returns for the Wii U, offering plenty of two player collaborative problem solving, on par with other LEGO games. You play as Batman or Robin, and get help from Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. Your mission? To put villains Lex Luthor and The Joker behind bars and save Gotham City.You can travel around Gothem City by walking or flying using the Batmobile, Batwing or Batboat. A map on the GamePad lets you jump around in the game. You can play with friends and family with drop-in/drop-out (co-op), at times in split screen. The second player can use a regular Wii controller. Content includes up to 50 DC Comics characters, new suits and gadgets such as Batman's Power Suit and Robin's Hazard Suit, equipped with a Pressure Cannon that can absorb and dispense hazardous liquids, new super abilities including Freeze-Breath and Heat Vision; and create unique super heroes with customizable characters. All in all, this is an excellent addition to your game library. It is a great game for an adult to play with child.
