Prior to playing this game, I took the time to sit down and watch "The Dark Knight", after that I looked up a list of Batman villains and found myself somewhat staggered. For those who are interested in learning more there are a number of character bios and interviews that can be found in-game (more on that later) that flesh out the characters a bit more.Īnother major plus is that not all the villains in the Batman lore make an appearance. This is comparable to how you can play Mario Galaxy 2 and never ever have to have touched upon a NES before. Instead, the game turns around the isolated event on the island and characters never really talk about events that go back too far or are unconnected to the task at hand. What is interesting is that Batman comics go back to like 1939, but the game demands little to no knowledge from the player. The island quickly falls under Joker's control and it's up to Batman to punch all the villains back into their holding cells. Upon returning him to the asylum (that is located on a large) island Joker makes an escape and releases all the convicts, including some of the major villains from the Batman lore. In this game the player takes control of Batman who has just apprehended his rival, an insane murderer called The Joker. Very often you need to go to insane lengths to save random characters who die a few minutes afterwards anyway. This leaves me with an hour of work every time I come somewhere new. The game is very linear, but has a lot of open areas with no enemies in it. The Joker is not as visceral as he was in the movie. The commentary you hear characters giving changes depending on where you are and at what stage of the game. The story is well-written and additional dialogue tapes help to flesh it out a little. The combat is very smooth and fun due to the fast moves and overall intuitive controls. Only a few lore-references and useful character bios. The game is very accessible to people interested in the game, but without back-story. With that said, enjoy the review and thanks for any help you may offer: If anybody reads this, I would love it if you could send me a PM on this website and tell me if this new style of reviewing is better than my usual method. I am going to do things a bit different from other times and I would really appreciate a little feedback.
