Lego Batman Gameplaying

My six and nine year old and myself are experienced Lego video game players in the Nintendo Wii platform. However, there were times the puzzles (mostly finding red bricks and minikits) in the game were taxing. Since I didn't want to guide the kids all the time, I needed the cheats to become invincible. The game was relatively new at the time I purchased it and there were no cheats or or complete walkthroughs available. Cheats to increase money showed up and it allowed the kids to buy new extras and character unlocks. By the time I was about 25% done with the game the cheat codes showed up. But even with the cheat codes, there were still many puzzles that could not be solved. There were even some levels I could not get through. Since there were no walkthroughs, I check out forums to get help. By the time the walkthrough was available (about 2 weeks after the game release date) the game was conquered but there were still many minikits to hunt in freeplay mode.

Below are some screenshots of the game.

There is plenty of jumping around in this game. Mainly, by you.

Mr. Freeze and the Scarecrow looking for a fight. Mr. Freeze's gun is annoying since it can pauses the gameplaying for several seconds. The Scarecrow, the Riddler, and other villians have special powers in the game that are pretty interesting. The Scarecrow can bypass security on certain doors and can spray scare gas which temporarily stuns enemies, making them scream and run around in circles.

Harley Quinn with the Joker. Did you know that this chick is a devote admirer of Joker but Joker nevers gives the affection back. The video game does have some historical tidbits in the batcave panel where you go to purchase extras and characters.
