Batman was good. Not worth the buy in my opinion. Too short of a campaign, and honestly a little too easy, even at the hard level. And with no multiplayer game modes that have you actually interact with someone else, it was a little bit hard justifying the price. I enjoyed the combat though, the 'free-flow' system is pretty slick, and makes you feel the way you should if you were Batman - a total badass dude who breaks criminal's arms like they were twigs, and then hurls them into other criminals. The boss fights are a completely different story, I understand that the Killer Croc fight is supposed to be like a meta-boss fight and is supposed to make you feel terrified and claustrophobic, but it just got so tedious after the third time I died and had to restart those stupid floating pieces of wood (why were those there again?). Not to mention the final boss fight (inevitably with the Joker) is SO underwhelming and easy, it could have used a complete overhaul. I did enjoy the riddle hunting, that was clearly just thrown in there for fan service but it was well done enough that a casual Batman fan would've gotten a snicker or two out of it.

I didn't think the Joker could get any scarier than Ledger but congratulations, programmers, you managed to out-freak-me-out him.
