[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']I've played Batman and it is a good game, but not insanely great like some make it out to be.
There's not enough gadgets and you don't get the ones you really need to explore the game world fully until VERY late in the game, which makes you have to backtrack over 90% of the game world.
Mind you, the game world IS well done in this game, but definitely very limited when compared to the scope of an InFamous or Prototype type of game.

Couldn't disagree more.
I found the game to have a great balance of exploration, stealth action, and ballz 2 tha wallz action. As for your gripe with not getting all the gadgets upfront, did you happen to also find Super Metroid or Symphony of the Night annoying in that area? I'm just curious because a lot of people actually enjoy the Metroid template of unlocking new sections in previously explored areas.
Also I know I probably "seem" biased, because I'm a huge Batman fan, but I went into Arkham Asylum looking to pick the game apart, but I couldn't... because it was damn near perfect.
