Quick answer

If you want a story-driven action-adventure with a beloved hero, choose LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. If you prefer pure speed and competitive racing, go with FAST RMX. Both are excellent arcade games for Nintendo Switch, but they serve very different play styles.

Story vs. Speed: The Core Difference

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight delivers a full narrative campaign. You follow Bruce Wayne from his origin through his training with the League of Shadows, then watch him become Gotham's hero while building a family of allies. It's a single-player journey with light exploration and puzzle-solving, all wrapped in the signature LEGO humor.

FAST RMX strips storytelling away entirely. It's a futuristic anti-gravity racer where the only goal is to cross the finish line first. You pick a vehicle, master boost mechanics, and compete in high-speed races. The tradeoff is clear: LEGO Batman offers depth and character, while FAST RMX offers pure adrenaline.

Price and Value

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is priced at USD 50.39 (catalog comparison price USD 69.99). FAST RMX costs USD 12.59 (catalog comparison price USD 19.99). The difference is significant. FAST RMX is a budget-friendly pick for quick sessions, while LEGO Batman justifies its higher price with a longer campaign and more varied gameplay.
