Oh, and I’m so pissed I didn’t get any gamer points from this game, I literally finished EVERYTHING but instead all I got were lousy trophies! Is it just me or are trophies just not as exciting as GP?

In a sense, the limitation creates concentration. You’re right, Wolverine was a total button-mashing experience. The game honestly had no replay value, albeit it was an enjoyable experience.

Either way, nothing was as horrible as Superman 64. Nothing.

Thanks Arsen, I hadn’t heard that the PS3 was going to get the special Joker treatment till long after I’d bought the game for the Xbox. Oh well, more gamer points never hurt.

I think playing Wolverine right before Batman ruined me a bit. It’s rare that I play characters that don’t use guns or some sort of power to attack, so having only strike/counter/stun seemed limited.

I don’t know if you’ve taken a crack at the PS3 version, but playing as Joker would totally change your idea on this game and I know you’d give it a 5.

I’d have to disagree that the fighting gets boring though, because having to actually use the counter, stun, and jump rather than just button-mashing the strike button really gives it a unique feel like no other game.

Nice review, dude.
