Graphics: On the form, the graphics are superb, I have not encountered many bugs crash (it never really bothered anyway) So very good. On the merits, the creators did not simply copy and paste the clothes or middle part of the wicked.
Of course, they kept the essence of these characters, the Joker's purple suit for example, but for characters like Harley Quinn who is disguised as a sexy nurse, instead of Harlequin's costume she had in the cartoons, or the Scarecrow who is much more frightening than it was in the first cartoons or even in the recent films (his mask canvas Jutte in movies really sorry).
Batman, over night, suffered damage: wrapper scratched, torn clothes, bruises, small beard and a little more realistic that desecrates the character.
Short in all, it's all good.

Gameplay: Hyper nice combo no complicated keys to 4 then a grip fairly intuitive, a true hero but people first so far from invincible, that's what makes it popular.
There are some combos that require 2 buttons simultaneously max if I remember correctly but if not, a button to attack, a ring for opponents, for a counter.
The creators have not fallen in the action game with super combos, Kameha-Meha, hadouken, they have given a sobriety to this game and focused on the characteristics of Batman: the undercover investigation and the baston still that even rudimentary level being pressed, can take advantage of techniques the bat that broke his opponents with style.
A small side role play with the improvements we can make during the game and that we choose ourselves according to what one prefers to develop.
The only downside that I will be at the boss of the game, whose scheme to defeat them is quite similar, namely that it looks like Mega Power Rangers against evil.
But in Hard mode, it can still have a sacred power which continues in virtually the entire game

Lifespan: Nothing to say, depending on your playing style, you can finish it in 10 hours if you're the kind of "go to basics" but if you're adventurous trophies / successes lost, you can easily double this time between the different mode of difficulty and riddle of the Sphinx (the mystery man for the purists) to solve.

Soundtrack: Just as there is content that the characters are not pale copies of the cartoons, as we are delighted to find the dubbing of the characters.
For connoisseurs, there are Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) for the original voice of Joker. Otherwise the sound is not the most important to me in a game so unless you are really impressed by the work of this side, I did not do very carefully.

Scenario: This scenario is in the U.S. where I did not know ^ ^
More seriously, there are things that we expected but when the same cliffhangers.
Special mention to the work of archives for this game Whether the band sounds recorded by Amadeus Arkham or objects that are gathered for the riddles of the Sphinx, great care was given to the world of Batman.
So the gold bar for fans and connoisseurs of comic.

In summary, when I started to hear the game in the various conventions like what this game was awesome, and when I saw that in some one would give her the title game of the year ( "Uncharted 2" and "Assassin's Creed 2" were not out yet ^ ^), I wondered what he could have that qualifies him for this.
Later when I played the demo, that's when I began to understand.
Position races, this is not the game of the year for me but he deserves the 1st place as qu'OVNI because this game was really surprising and unexpected, because other games of the Batman license, or even that or games in the universe DC Comics or Marvel Comics did not really cardboard, finally, in any case no game comes to mind.
So a big thank you for the work and the appointment is made for the second opus next year with a little luck (at least the end of 2010 they hope to have more time to do even better)
