I did not think it was possible for a game to be this bad!

Horrible graphics, horrible sound, horrible controls, horrible camera angles. Nothing could possibly salvage this game. I can say with a clear conscience that it is the worst game I have ever played on Xbox, or any other system. Please avoid this game at all costs. If someone offers it to you for free, run away quickly. I swear to god, it is that bad. All this game did was make me $50 poorer and steal 30 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I feel ashamed for playing it that long. There is absolutely no excuse for me taking that long to realize that this game was less fun than watching UPN's thursday night lineup. I cant say anymore, just dont go near this game....please.

Well, I learned my lesson....

This was by far the worst third person game I have ever played. Graphics=no good
Perspectives= waaay bad
Music= felt like I was playing a game from the 80's!
I truly wasted my money on this game. chances are you will do the same. I was really disgusted with this game! YUCK.

What a disappointment after such a long wait...

This game is confusing right from the start. The camera angles constantly change as you travel from place to place, and you end up moving in the wrong direction. Once you get past this, the game becomes more enjoyable.

I like fighting the groups of baddies, and all the nuts in Arkham. The cinematics are amazing, and very entertaining. They do tend to interrupt far to often. (Every time you jump from your cable up to the building, every time you handcuff a badguy, go through a door,...)

My biggest complaint would be that the bosses are so weak. Black Mask was a pushover, Scarface is done after you jump on his head, Killer Croc was no challenge, Poison Ivy's plants were unimpressive, Mr. Zsasz was beaten in one session, AND YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO FIGHT THE JOKER!!! Why is he even in the game???

Punching and kicking defeats every villain. This game was supposed to spotlight all of Batman's skills, not just his fighting ability. I haven't gotten to Ras yet, but once I do, this game is gone. Lots of style, little substance. Get the Super Nintendo Batman Animated game instead. That is still the best Batman game to date.

Someone should just make an Arkham Asylum game where you go from room to room fighting major badguys. Concentrate on the confrontations, and make them tough. I didn't want to finish this game in so short of a time...

Screw technology. Can I have some fun please???

What a disappointment.

This game has no flow. The contols [are inadequate]. The point of view changes so awkwardly it's hard to move from one point to another. Batman is so clumsy and limited in this game, it's not even fun to fight the bad guys. He can't look down at them from above, and his moves are stilted and weak. Changing equipment on the fly is cumbersome, and during a fight it's almost impossible. The directional radar is not in sync with the direction of the character, which makes navigation confusing. I wanted to like this game...

The difference between challenging and difficult

I should have read the on-line reviews before purchasing but the premise sounded good and the price was right. Maybe one day they will make a super hero video game that pleases.

There are several minues and very few pluses when it comes to this disapointing game. I walked away from my first several days of playing it feeling that the programers didn't like me.

MINUES
- The camera angels are awkward.
- The graphics are clumsy and inelegant
- Moving between Bat-gear devices is ridiculously difficult yet the action (when it happens) is fast.
- Batman's moves are limited. Punch and kick and jump and run. For a character that is supposed to be a martial arts expert I was surprised by this lack of fighting options.
- The menus are non-intuitive. Trying to figure out what menu option does what is not my idea of fun.
- The scene changes are long and it is too easy to get 'sucked' into the previous scene.
- Many of the missions are difficult without being actually challenging. Mission two has Batman swinging from building to building. No real skill is involved, just trial and error. The character falls off the building very easily because it is very difficult to determine where he is due to camera angles.
- The 'story' is uninteresting and fails to address the noir style of the comics.

Pluses
- Some of the 'film' scenes are well done. The Gordon character in particular is fairly compelling.
- Inexpensive so even if one doesn't enjoy the play it is not such a huge loss.

great game

Well I have and I must say that it was pretty spectacular. I have just bought this game and I have to say that it is twenty times better than any other Batman game ever made. Now some might think the camera angles are out of place and ridiculous. Well those people are not true fans of third person games. You have to experience both first and third to get a real effect. And what makes Batman games is the fans, most Batman games are "corny, stupid, and boring" well that is for those who try to point out the negative and not the beauty in Batman. I would wish that before some write reviews they at least read the comics. The Batman game is not supposed to dazzle you and suprise you like some of the other games that become so boring because that is all the offer with no story. The Batman: Dark Tomorrow game has a great story line with all the classic villians. If you are a true fan this is a must. And if you are some boring person please don't even play video games. So in conclusion not the best but one of the greats. Buy IT!

MY EYES ARE BLEEDING!!!!

God, this game is HORRIBLE!!!! I wish Amazon would let me give it 0 stars. As a fan of the batman series, I hate to see a Batman game be so terrible, but I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a good batman game. Just give up. This game has horrible game play, no point, plot or story line, the levels are vague and boring, and the Graphics are so cartoonish that the old Batman cartoons are more realistic than it. I don't know about you, but I hate games like that. PLEASE don't waste your money on this unless you need something to prop up a table or something, because besides that, this game is worthless (I haven't played it since the day I bought it - 1 year ago)

metal gear and batman hmmmm.......
