Unplayable: I do not think that word means what you think it means. :)

The real tragedy of the PC port isn't that it's a shoddy port, it's that it's a shoddy port of an otherwise excellent game. Yes, there are some strange graphical glitches and performance issues, including texture pops and hitches in game play, but these did not subtract too much from the experience. I applaud WB and Rocksteady for their move to remove the game from sale until these issues could be addressed, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the game once it's available again, assuming that those issues had indeed been fixed.

Ol' Bats just feels better in this version. He's a bit faster, and hits a bit harder, and the multi-takedown mechanic is a welcome addition. The joint takedowns are just plain fun, and kept each fight feeling fresh and exciting. Even the Batmobile is well realized, accurately mirroring the "Tumbler" design of Nolan's series, even though I do feel it was over-used in spots. If I never have to run another Riddler race again, I'd be happy.

Definitely check it out.
