Review -
After releasing the final episode for this season, Batman: The Telltale Series has left me intrigued. Ending with a shot of the Joker in a bar, after having escaped Arkham Asylum, was definitely a cliffhanger, leasing me to believe that another season is in progress.
Game play was relatively shaky, a lot of the time I find that the fight scenes would stutter and I'd miss a move to defend myself. It was actually pretty abysmal, considering how few fight scene there are in the five episodes. Maybe two or three per episode.
Character control was another big issue. In the parts where you could move Bruce/Batman, you could only walk at this annoyingly sluggish pace, which added to the slow feel of the game. It was the same with the camera, as you couldn't move it freely.
The one redeeming quality was the investigative scenes, where you have to create links between pieces of evidence after assessing the room. This was something I really enjoyed, seeing the way the World's Greatest Detective put clues together and was able to recreate crime scenes with VR tech in his cowl.
Personally, I feel that was probably the best part of the game, I could have done it hours. I think his detective skills is one of the greatly overlooked qualities in Batman, especially within games. If you ask a kid why he likes Batman, without a doubt they will say "Because he fights bad guys". But Batman is so much more than that.
I gave the Telltale Series Season One two stars, because of the sketchy fight scenes, the lack of character control, as well as being more an interactive movie rather than an actual game.
