Funny you should mention Batman:AA because I just got it today from Lovefilm and absolutely hated it. Played it for an hour, was bored out of my mind and sent the game back today as well. Opinions indeed. An hour was more than enough, it had become a choir at that point to keep playing the game. Perhaps it's due to me having no interest in the Batman franchise but meh rubbish game either way.

an hour is too short to realize how good the game is. you don't even get to understand the subtleties of the combat/stealth mechanic nor do you get the first riddle.. or maybe you just don't like batman, yeah.


I think that's just part of the problem of modern game design. Games just take too long to get into. If a game isn't interesting in the first hour it's failed in that aspect.

Personally, I loved the game. Definitely in my top 5, but the slow start is certainly preventing me from starting a new file.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
