Square-Go writes: "As we've seen numerous times before, videogames based on comic books are patchy at best. It's all well and good letting the player take control of a much-loved character, but the damage that can be dealt if the game is poor can leave fans feeling cheated. Dull plotlines, lifeless visuals and badly implemented gameplay mechanics can all but ruin what should be a thrilling adventure and sully a character's reputation. It's a tricky tightrope for developers to walk, so it's with gladness (and perhaps relief) that we can report that developer Rocksteady has created the finest comic book superhero game to date".
