Batman: The Telltale Series

Holy disappointment, Batman.

A strong and original Batman story held back by poor dialogue and overly contrived plot devices.

If you can accept the studio's adventure game formula and the fairly large deviations to the canon, then Batman: The Telltale Series is a good game. The story remains gripping, and the additions to the gameplay formula make this feel more refined over the studio's previous efforts. The lack of further technical polish, however, is unfortunate; fixing those issues would've placed this game in the upper echelon of the studio's offerings. As it stands, Batman fans will certainly want to check out this title.

It's a game for Batman fans who really don't care about the form. Or for fans of Telltale's products who aren't picky about the content.

Despite a weak ending, Batman: The Telltale Series remains a great story for whoever loves the Dark Knight. Nevertheless Telltale needs to solve a lot of technical flaws and vary mechanics that are becoming too old and a little bit stale.
