It's Christmas 2008 not only do I get many Lego Batman sets, but the game that I had been hyped about since its release. After a Christmas breakfast I head into the basement, pop the disc into the PS2 and the following title sequence shows up with the Danny elfman music blaring. I can barely contain my excitement as it's not only my first Lego game, but one of my first Batman games. I get to feel the power of batman punching is way through criminals and my brother gets to fight alongside me as Robin as we proceed through the levels. Games that can create these types of relived memories are unlike any other.
Bro same 😢 my brother grew up in a hospital as a kid and I remember my family getting to choose gift donations. Lego Batman was something we choose and it was such an amazing memory.
Edit 7/20/23: I swear this brings back so many memories, of playing Lego Batman on my Ps2 and Xbox 360, back in 2014-2015, and Lego Batman 2 iirc around 2016 on my Xbox 360 as well. Being a kid during those times, watching youtubers and walkthroughs of LB1 by people like 8bittheater, 5-7 years old, i was obsessed with the kissing scene with catwoman for some reason, those moments were goated. There was not a single dull moment when playing those games, my dad actually modded both so i had both things with 100% completion. I also remember back in my Lego Batman 2 days, Me and my grandma would go down into the basement, and play catch with a old ball till my mom got home from work and rung the doorbell, or i would meet her down there. I remember always leaving the game on Lego Batman 2, because i was playing it very often. Typing this, just floods back memories of just having fun, some memories I didn’t know I had, playing Lego Batman with my dad and grandma in the house, my mom too, i cannot express how much i miss that kind of joy. Would kill to go back to those kind of times 😞 now I’m going into highschool, my grandmother unfortunately has Alzheimer’s, I don’t want to but soon we’ll all be adults, its crazy how time files by so quickly. I thought every soundtrack on LB1 on the levels were different but it turns out its all on the same theme basically, and i only found that out just a few months eariler 😭
