CoolNicely delivered atmosphere.
Looks cool - combination of old Gothic and modern/future technology.
Nice Batman fact sheet.
Really good Joker vocal performance.
Button/move combos are a bit complex, for the amount that you use them. Complex combos are nice though.
Investigation mode is nice, but a bit superhuman - I know it's Batman, but identifying the number of distant baddies and goodies and if they're armed, through walls and ceilings?...useful though.
Not cool
Can't perform 'moves' until you learn them. OK in some cases, but running? I still can't jump at will.
Can't knock baddies off ledges to negate them.
Batman's character is a bit wrong. He's not saying the right stuff. But I don't consider myself an aficionado.
Undecided
Batman is maybe too big?
Off centre third party viewpoint. It kind of frees up a large amount of the screen but makes things to your left a bit of a mystery.
Free roaming, but kind of linear.
Amsuing
Some phone conversation along the lines of:
Girl: Hi, I'm looking for Phil?
Joker: I'm afraid he's not here at the moment. I'll see if I can find him.
....
Joker: I can only find his head for now. I'll call you back when I find the rest of him.
Observations
Seems to be a combination of various Batman genres. The Riddler appears very camp 60s TV version, the architecture is very Tim Burton, the Joker is very DC. Nice mix I think.
