Does Batman have what it takes to make the next-generation? Or s

Batman. Edios. Rocksteady. What do you make with these three talents combined with the people at DC Comics? A great game! The game includes a voice talent that will make your head turn it's lights out. Play this game in the dark, trust me. This also has fantastic settings and a dark story, which might take you 8-10 hours to complete and 11-13 hours to get 100% on it. Not to mention, the Joker might bring you back because he's playable. But, there's one problem to it. You need to unlock the challenge maps to play as him! But, it's overshadowed by the challenge maps. They are HARD!!! When you fight a bunch of gunners, you better have a death wish! But, anyway, the story has a lot of great twists and turns along with a great ending with epilogue. I smell sequel! The character design is beautiful along with the enemies that fight you. However, the fighting gets redundant but, it's not boring. You have many ways to kill your enemies. But, anyway, this game has greatness written all over it. Oh, I just forgot, there's DLC! There's only a couple packs right now but I'm sure there will be more coming soon. Overall, this is worth your money and it's worth a buy.

Review revisited

OK, you know that I said that the challenge maps are hard, right? Well, I got a tip for you. When you fight in the brawling maps, make sure you watch your back, because they'll be coming all day long until they are knocked-out. Make sure that when you see a blue spike over someone's head, press the triangle button to give him his own medicine.

The only bad thing about this game...is that it eventually ends! Now we wait for the sequel.
