For someone who is a fan of the X-Com style of game, this particular title does not stay true to the original format of game play. I liked the other X-Com titles for their turn-based strategy. This game simply does not have the capacity to keep my attention.

Great game albeit a bit short. The graphics are great and game play has been improved upon a bit compared to other Arkham games. The mechanics of the Batmobile are pretty amazing. There are plenty of side quests to keep the game going aside from the main story.
