The new Batman is probably the best beat ‘em up I’ve played in years. The combat works well, is easy to pick up and challenging enough to be… challenging. I played through the entire game on Normal and while I enjoyed it, I doubt I’ll spend the time replaying it on Hard. I’m not a big enough fan of brawlers to subject myself to it, and I’ve got too many other games sitting on the shelf collecting dust to waste extra time achievement whoring.

I never even finished all the combat & stealth challenges, they’re fun as well, but since I’ve beaten the main game I just wasn’t interested enough to finish off the little extras. Punching bad guys in the face is brutally satisfying though, the in-game camera system during fights is generally spot on, automatically hitting slow mo and zooming in on finishing moves adds some good extra crunch to the punches. Not sure where they got all the cattle supplies though, the prisoners seem to have easy access to an awful lot of electric cattle prods to zap me with and break my combo streaks.
