The Ant-Man DLC came free to those who pre-ordered the base game, and is a quick-but-fun re-imagining of one of the scenes from the hit Marvel movie of the same name.
In this add-on, Scott Lang's best friend Luis (Michael Pena, who reprises his role from the movie with brand-new dialogue) joins forces with Lang, Hank Pym, Hope Van Dyne, Janet Van Dyne and ANT-thony in order to defeat Yellow Jacket at the Pym Technologies lab.
If you've seen the movie, you probably know what to expect here, but Marvel and LEGO once again make things fun by turning the whole thing into a very comical tale, thanks to TT Games' signature brand of humour. Some dialogue from the film is included here, but it's mostly left out in favour of Luis taking over and narrating the story as only he can.
While the DLC is cool, offers up a handful of new trophies and nearly a dozen new characters to add to your roster, it is very short. I had fun playing it, but it seemed significantly shorter than other levels in the game. Part of that is due to the fact that there's only one real level, when they could have done a handful in order to cover the events of the entire movie instead, like they did with much of the rest of the base game.
Still, considering it was free, there's little to complain about. I'd recommend playing it before you finish the main game in order to get more use out of the new characters. If you play after you've already beaten the game, it feels more anticlimactic.
