this game deserves to be "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game." This is one of the best superhero games i've ever played.
*Downloads Demo* I’ve just been ignoring this game as games based on movies don’t usually interest me, everyone is talking about this one though.
I was a little nervous when I first heard about this game because let's face it, games based on movies, or in this case comics, have not been the best games to come out. This is a game that is worth the $60 price tag and is one of the better games to be released so far this year.
Downloaded the demo, deciding then and there that I was going to buy it and now after playing it for about 2 hours I'm glad I did. I've avoided almost every superhero game going apart from this one. Now if only other game developers would follow RockSteadys example...
