The editors didn't like
The detecting aspects of the game are rather weak

You dont need to be a fan of Batman to enjoy this excellent third-person action game. ...
Abstract: So, arent licensed games meant to be bad? Did I miss a memo at some stage? First a great new entry in the Ghostbusters timeline, and now this, a cool new Batman story. What the hells going on? Im sorry, whats that? G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra? Watc...
