Comic book video game makers should use this game as a model. The best, shortest game I ever played and Loved!!!!!

This game is freaken awesome, the action is movie worthy and even the story rivals even The Dark Knights. Yes it is that good. The graphics are okay, however in retrospect I spent most of the game in the Blue bat mode. On tp of that the game is not verylong, there are 240 riddles to solve which aren't very hard, and the main story mode. There are also 16 challenges to play, in 3 modes. So there is a nice amount of variety. Even still this game does have its low points. I found the over the shoulder walking shot to be too tight, it didn't allow enough of a view I would have liked, however I combated this by spending all my time running. Also I felt the Jokers character was a bit over the top. I would have been more partial to a Joker more calm and collectively insane as in The Dark Knight. Also I found sad to see that some of Batmans best super villians didn't ge into the mix this time around, Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Catwoman, Clayface, 2 Face, none of them get in the action. Not even Robin makes an appearance. Whether or not this is ecause they will be making apearances via DLC or a sequel either way I was bummed. The game's biggest flaw has got to be in the overall length of the game, even with collecting all the extras and beating the game and playing all the challenges it only took me 5 days to complete just about everything and obtain a 98% completion score. Still this game was a nice surprise it was as if it came out of no where. I mean yes I knew about it but I figured it was just going to be another bad Comic book game as much of the other games in the genre have been well pretty low on the score charts. That being said I truely enjoyed this game and found the story to be just as good as that of any Batman movie to date. I would not hesitate in buying this game only to say that if your looking for a long lasting worth the 60.00 price tag then maybe you should wait for this one to go on sale.
