Batman: The Telltale Series Standard Edition - PlayStation 3

I originally stumbled upon this game when I saw it marked on clearance here while browsing a recent sale. Given the significant markdown, I read the universal approval of it and, being I was a Batman obsessive back in the day, had to try it out. It's a very fun, roughly eight hour game where you as Bruce Wayne/Batman have to deal with crime families, super-villains and the media in order to make Gotham a better place. The Telltale Games format is unlike any previous adventure with the caped crusader (and I've been aiding him in protecting Gotham since the Sega-CD) so getting to choose his actions and choice of words instead of a more linear gameplay really gives the feeling of being the conflicted Bruce Wayne more than any other release. The game's sole flaw is the very first episode (of five total, with each containing six chapters) suffers a terrible lag and even freezing at points. From episodes 2-5, it dramatically improves, but was such a pain in the beginning I first thought my game was defective until I read other reviews online. But don't let that deter you. If you're even a casual Batman fan, you're going to really enjoy this unique entry into Bats' life. While the choices you make may be challenging and frustrating, the game is also an easy unmissable Platinum.

Came across this by accident. Glad I did because it is one of my favorite to play. Great story line and lots of great action.

Love the telltale series and this one proves to be a great one. Great story and if you love batman this is a game you need to play

picked this up on sale and have enjoyed the game so far. I enjoy the Telltale "story" games, it gives a nice change of pace from other games.

A great story and price make this hard to beat. While detective mode can really slow things down, the game keeps you invested overall with branching dialog and choices that impact the story as telltale games are known for.
