The other option is an analogue stick and buttons, which give the player more control, but using that, I missed the simplicity of the one touch system. Using bat-a-rangs and grappling hooks require holding down over objects, or tapping on the right area, but everything works relatively well. The casual controls have you tapping or holding on screen to move, holding plus tapping to jump, and attacking is done automatically once you tap on an enemy. There are often areas that you cannot get to with your current layout, and thus will have to revisit later with other characters (which is where all the unlocking and collection comes in). As is usual in these games, most levels have you able to take control of one to three characters whose special talents are required to solve puzzles and make your way to the next room. The villains of Gotham City have teamed up with Lex Luthor to enact a dastardly plan, and it's going to take the combined forces of the DC Universe to stop them. The Lego games are big on secrets and unlocking, so this is not needed at all to enjoy the story and the crazy amount of item collection later on, so it's hard to say if this is a positive or negative inclusion at this time.

Funnily enough though, this is where the optional in-app purchasing comes in, allowing you for a fee to unlock any character at any time.

These lego games usually have a crazy amount of unlockable characters, and with eighty to acquire, this title is no exception. This sequel as you might imagine from the title of 'DC Superheroes' has expanded the roster to include not only the Justice League, but a lot of the comic powerhouse's additional roster. The first Lego Batman was a favourite of the series, but mainly focused on the caped crusader and his rogues gallery of villains.

If you enjoy the Lego games and haven't given this one a go, then you probably don't need to bother with the rest of this review. That it finally came to iOS is no real surprise. Let this review begin by saying this is a near perfect port of Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes that was released last year on every other platform imaginable.
