We didn't get very far in the game, and I'm not missing it at all.
Really? The gameplay was indeed easy, and playing it on hard just made it "tedious hard" and not actually "fun hard". I also didn't like detective mode and how easy it made things. Plus, the boss fights were very lack luster, especially Joker fight. Ivy was probably the best boss fight. Other than that i thought it was a fine game. Cool story and I thought the voices were done rather well. I liked the sneaking around as well. Gave it a MGS feel to it.

Not the best game, but it's not a bad game either. I do agree it's a little overrated.
