I think it was well worth the $2.50 that it cost me to rent, even though I paid for an extra day that I ended up not needing. I'd have happily played more of it if it were longer.

LEGO Batman 2 doesn't count?

Has there been any indication that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will be released on next-gen consoles as well?
