This game isn't that bad.I actually thoroughly enjoyed it.This game is definitely one for Batman fans,and Batman fans only.
To start the story is superb.It's a great story that feels as if you were reading a Batman story in the comics,and the look of the game looks just like the comics.Plus for the time the graphics were pretty good.I really only have two small gripes.My first small gripe is the game play(primarily the camera).The game play is fairly hard to get the hang of,but once you get the hang of it it's fairly fluid.The only thing I hated about the fighting was having to handcuff the enemies to ensure they won't get back up.The camera is the worst part of the game play.The game features preset 'Resident Evil' style cameras,and it gets annoying and frustrating.The second small gripe I have with it is the fact that you get stuck in this game a lot,and I mean a lot.Many times you get stuck and have no clues to help you along.
Overall the steep learning curve and awful cameras will turn many casual gamers away,but the amazing story and the look and feel of the game will keep Batman fans going through it to the very end just to finish this cinematic story.The bottom line is if you're not a Batman fan skip this one,but if you are this is one that is at least worth one play through.
I give it an 8 out of 10(from a Batman fan's perspective)!
