Extremely solid gameplay, but the game is like a beta version of Arkham City. It's one of those games which suffer from the syndrome of 'not being a bad game, but being a bad game of an x series'. If this was released before Arkham City, it would've been great, but it really just feels like an unpolished version of its much better prequel (ironic, because story wise, this is a prequel to the previous Arkham games). Play it if you like the Arkham style combat, it's still a decent time sink.
