    If you are expecting an open world Batman game then you are going to be disappointed. Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate is a Metroidvania game. As for Batman you ar limited to punches. His gadgets such as Batarangs are only available when an icon shows up on screen. I am disappointed by this game but it's not horrible.

    This game is fun and all, but not like the same batman games, because like when you die, it just says "Game Over" and nothing cool. on Batman: Alcome City, the grafics are good and when you die, it shows the joker saying stuff and when he finishes talking, the game gives you hints of beating the this that your stuck on but on black gate, it doesn't. in the begginging on black gates, it isThis game is fun and all, but not like the same batman games, because like when you die, it just says "Game Over" and nothing cool. on Batman: Alcome City, the grafics are good and when you die, it shows the joker saying stuff and when he finishes talking, the game gives you hints of beating the this that your stuck on but on black gate, it doesn't. in the begginging on black gates, it is not easy for a begginer. AND why is it in 2d even thought it is on a 3DS? Their is no blood and the second time you battle cat women, it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat her when she blinds you. When the game does videos, it on paper and no grafics. i think the creators should do a better job on the 3DS version because having a 2d batman game wile the playstashon3 has 3d batman game is not fair.… Expand

    If more Batman is desired, and the new game releasing next year can't be waited for, this is an acceptable purchase.

    Lumpy in places, thumpy in others, this is generally good fun. [Dec 2013, p.86]

    Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is a game that is brimming with great ideas that are, sadly, poorly executed.
