I would not rate it a bad game, was just stating that its not revolutionary or amazing as made out to be. Its like when Bioshock came out, that was basically a copy of an older game, yet everyone seemed to be screaming out revolutionary and unique and new it was, when it was now.
Arkham city is easily a 9+ game and I spent many hours playing and will play multiple times I'm sure, though that still doesn't mean I can ignore its fualts or let it be praised for doing something first and amazing, when it wasn't first. It's all in all essentially a spiderman copy. You swung around the city, upgraded your powers, randomly did little savings and side missions, meanwhile meeting iconic villians during the main story. When this comes out on PC, I can see a spiderman mod being made very quickly.
Now I'm not saying a spiderman copy game is bad, when actually I wouldn't mind the guys who did this game also make a spiderman game. Both games would be great, but its a no brainer that theya re very similar.
But Arkham city was a fun game, amazing voice acting, great visuals, made you feel like a badass regardless how quicktime easy the fighting was, great story, had suspence, actually felt like 10 hours was real time and not made up, got to learn more about characters, neat use of gadgets and so on with much more praise. Like I said it was a great game, just it had its faults. One being it felt like you were fighting the same henchmen over and over and over again. Two, like bioshock it was not unique and first. Three AI could use a little work. THe sneak attack for example, seems way too long and noisy for someone being not two feet away to not hear or notice it. Also would be nice if it took a peg from Splinter Cell games in that you could drag the body away and put into some shadows. Though seems every enemy had that stupid heart monitor thing that alerted them whenever someone was taken down though anyway. So I would have removed heart moniter and brought in the hide body feature.
