Overall this game isn’t very challenging, but is a fun 1000 . The fact that you can’t get a “Game Over” makes it even easier. If cheat codes are used the game is much more fun, as you don’t run round looking for studs to fill your super-hero/villain bar.
Introduction:
This game only needs two playthroughs. The first can be a “pleasure” playthrough, as all the achievements can be gained on the second playthrough as Memorabilia and Vigilante can’t be gained in the first playthrough as you need specialist characters to access certain areas in levels.
Cheats make the game much easier and can lead to a much faster 1000 . Cheat codes can be found here: Cheat Codes. They’re entered in the Bat Cave at the big screen above where you can change Batman and Robin’s costumes.
Walkthrough:
STEP#1: Go to the cheat thread and print off the list of cheats and plug them into the cheat screen in the Bat Cave. This will make gaining Super-Hero/Villain much much easier, especially if you use invincibility. If you use all the cheats, it will prevent you from having to find all the red bricks in the second playthrough, which is really handy, as the red bricks can provide you with some good extras.
Here are some useful cheats:
Always Score Multiply: 9LRGNB
Extra Hearts: ML3KHP
Invincibility: WYD5CP
Minikit Detector: ZXGH9J
Score x10 Multiplier: 18HW07
Stud Magnet: LK2DY4
STEP#2: Complete your first playthrough of them game, you can choose whether to try and find the available memorabilia and civilians in this playthrough, or just leave it to your second. I suggest finishing the whole Hero story first, then completing the Villain playthrough. You should gain the achievements for building things like the croc ride-on, the big robot and for building fifty LEGO build-its.
STEP#3: Once you’ve completed both the Hero and Villain stories. You may choose to go back to certain levels to get the achievements that involve killing X person with X person. E.g. As Bane do the back breaker on Batman (As Bane walk up to batman and press ).
STEP#4: Begin your second playthrough of the game, but this time when choosing the level, remember to do it in free-play mode so that you can switch between characters to get memorabilia and civilians you could not get in your first playthrough. YouTube has excellent guides of where to find all the memorabilia and civilians (and also red-bricks if you didn’t use the cheat codes to unlock them). During this playthrough (using a second controller) you may want to get the achievements such as: Shock The Joker With Joker, as you can use the second controller to change to Joker and shock him using . Other achievements like this may include the one for killing 10 policemen and 10 goons as Two-Face in one level. Simply use the second controller to change into a goon and kill it 10 times, then change it into a policeman 10 and kill it.
STEP#5: Complete the Arkham Asylum and Wayne Manor bonus levels. Once again YouTube has some good videos on how to complete these levels, so that you don’t have to wander around searching for the last stud when you’re at 999 990 (that last silver stud can be such a cheeky little devil).
STEP#6: By now you should have all the achievements and a full 1000 . If not, just look at the achievement guide to see how to get the remaining last few achievements.
Conclusion: This game is a very satisfying (and easy) 1000 and brings out the little kid inside of you who used to run round with their underpants on top of their trousers pretending to be Batman or some other caped crusader. No one should have any problem getting a full 1000 , but if they you should then use the very clear achievement guide for this game.
