The Good: stealth sections are fun; combat looks amazing; art style and scope of the asylum itself is great; great balance of fun for both Batman purists and casual fans.
The Bad: combat is too easy for my tastes; upgrade system seems pretty pointless; during combat, I would occasionally target the wrong person.
The Verdict: for the most part, I would recommend renting this one. It is a really big game, so you might want to buy it, and Batman faithful will certainly like having this on their shelves. However, this game certainly is not a pass. It is a very well made game, and Rocksteady should be commended on that respect.
