    It certainly looks and sounds the part but this downloadable game is just as shallow as most retail tie-ins.

    If you hadn't seen the price tag, you'd wonder what all the internet furore had been about. [Issue#45, p.100]

It isn't a button masher as the negative reviews say, as enemies are able to detect when a player is mashing away, and will counter. Rorschach is just plain brutal, in a good way. His amazing character and gameplay makes up for the less interesting Nite Owl, and his finishers leave someone going, "Ooooh, Ouch" almost every time.

    The graphics are just plain excellent, I have never seen an Arcade game with similar caliber of graphics. Only faulted at the repetition that plagues the genre, Watchmen is a great experience.    … Full Review »
