how long has it been since you've watched em? If it's been a while I'd definitely recommend re-watching em. They're pretty much the standard that all subsequent DC animated movies are measured by.

I dont watch DC animated movies, ive tried but they just seem silly and childish for the most part when compared to some of the great graphic novels, the most recent batman films with christian bale, and of course rocksteady's games.

I just realised the implications of this review are not that PALGN's coveted 10/10 was awarded, but that Cian argued this might be the greatest sandbox game ever made.
This means that smelly GTA4 is no longer his favourite sandbox game.
ALLAH BE PRAISED

I second it..... what the hell is wrong with him ?

I havn't seen Year One yet (almost purchased it at JB Hifi on Monday), i've stayed away from the brave and the bold series (did play the video game though). The only animated movie i didn't quite enjoy was mystery of the batwoman.

Batwoman was pretty sub par yeah.
How much are you into the Silver Age comics Xtreme? Brave and the Bold is basically just an amazing love letter to everything silver age. It also put fun back into Batman which he'd been lacking for a long time.

I held off on commenting on this review as I wanted to finish the game for myself. Now that I have I think that this game has been severely overhyped and overated and this review is typical of many that I am reading. There is no way that this is a perfect 10, yes it is a good game but there are a number of huge issues that must be overlooked to give it a perfect score.
I could perhaps accept the score if this review was not so poorly written. The opening paragraph is completely irrelevant, we have another two spent on re-telling the plot. In amongst the remainder we have some rather juvenile references to how 'hot' catwoman is and a few grand statements like 'greatest sandbox game of all time'thrown around with little evidence used in support.
If you are going to award a game a perfect 10 then you should have a review that argues a compelling case as to why it is so, not one that sounds as if it was written for a high school english paper.
I seriously wonder how many reviewers will regret falling for the hype on this one when they look back at the end of the year.

I agree with the overhyped and overrated sentiment. Loved the hell out of Arkham Asylum and quickly played through the story mode multiple times. The linear style suited the game better. I was totally unprepared and unexpecting of the awesomeness that was Arkham Asylum, so maybe that weighed heavily as to why I loved it so much.
I was underwhelmed with Arkham City, there were a few great moments in there but mainly I had to keep urging myself to play it. Finding your way to the next mission was really annoying at times and having finished the story mode, I have little to no interest in going back and doing it again.
