So it seems that it's got great combat, but nothing new or inventive or interesting as it's the same,  story is great and about 8 hours long and 12 overall hrs with all the additional stuff, complain about samey feeling as AC.

They complain about repetition, but continue giving the COD game's 9's and 8's.

Don't compare games with movies. got it today haven't had a chance to play alot but the opening left me with a big smile on my face

I shall see on my own today. Just bought it.

Mais est-il fidèle à la bande dessinée?

It's pretty good, but not great. Everything that was good about Arkham City is good here, and they added an expanded Detective Mode which is a lot of fun to use. Unfortunately, the world feels kinda empty and the game, despite having a larger map, feels smaller; the story, while providing some proper insight into Bruce and Alfred's relationship, hits many of the same plot points and notes as Arkham City.

Good, not great. But this can be forgiven if I get my Green Arrow game.

So far, these are my exact thoughts.

I hope they made a Justice League game next.

I agree with Jack and Tek. The game is good, but it pails in comparison to Arkham City. The gameplay is relatively the same from Arkham City, with a few new moves and gadgets. Which is all well and good. And it's cool to see what Arkham City looked like before it became Arkham City. My biggest issues with the game right now is that it lacks polish. The frame rate sometimes takes a noticeable dive when gliding around, the fast travel cut-scene sometimes has the sound cut in and out, the game occasionally stutters when I dies, and there is a major bug in the PC version that makes one of the comms towers impossible to hack. Although I'm playing the game on the PS3, but that is a huge problem for PC gamers. Overall the game is good, but it's standing in the huge shadows of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.

It really just feels like a campaign expansion pack rather than a stand alone game. Still love it though. I think I would wait for 40-50$ price to justify it though.

Seen the post-credit scene. Amanda Waller isn't as fat as I hoped. She's much more intimidating when she more overweight.

The frame rate was something I forgot to touch on. Yeah, it sometimes turns into stop motion and even worse, into a slideshow. I really think patching that issue should be the studio's top priority. I also had the game freeze on me more than an acceptable number of times. Also, the game feels even smaller now that I've finished both the story and all side missions (aside from Enigma's data packs and relays). I paid $60 for a weekend's worth of experience.

That's a late IGN review... oh wait it isn't a review.

Complete Edition? So what, they're just gonna add the tiny amount of DLC they made for the game, keep all of the bugs (some of which have been game-breaking for friends of mine), and hike the price back up to $60? Yeah they can fuck right off.
