This is pretty much Arkham City with a Batmobile. That is by far not a bad thing, as that game was great. Batmbile can be fun but really has some frustrating things like the turning being strange until you get used to it and sometimes collisions don't work the best. I also hated in chase scenes when you takedown someone the camera swings and moves to show the takedown, leaving you very disorientated. There was no way to disable this at the time of me playing.
The story I can't say much about but the presentation is down right stellar. Great and very fun script and the directing does some very unique things. The game I feel must be really applauded for how originally it delivers many of its story aspects. Very clever and inspired.
I rarely mention these in my feedback posts, if ever, actually. But the publishers WBIE (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) is really taking the piss now with how much of the content they are spreading around different retailers and pre-order bonuses and a Season Pass that costs almost as much as a newly released game. These are all silly practices and I know it's not Rocksteady's fault but as a consumer that really pissed me off about this game. For the record I have not fallen for any of it and now that I have finished the main game, won't give another penny to WBIE. Good try, WBIE, but all it does is put a bad image on the game. This along with the ABYSMAL and sickeningly false advertised PC version (even though I was on PS4, it's still shitty) are signs we need to be aware and cynical of WBIE.
So, great gameplay, though perhaps a bit ageing now, topped with a very fun story, mixed with a new feature that is not going to blow your socks off, and a little darkness of the shoddy business practices - Overall it's a VERY GOOD outing for the Bat.
7/10.
