So I thought this game was really really good. I loved the gameplay and how you can counter the thugs attacks. If you like batman stuff then you should definately get this. There are some frightening encounters with scarecrow and killer croc may scare little kids. There is some violence where batman beats up people. Dead people are seen around the island. Blood is seen sometimes on environments. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy dress innapropriately. The language is pretty is moderate while characters use b---h about 3 times, d-mn, h-ll, and a-- multiple times throughout the game. I agree with the ESRB rating except i would change the "mild language" to "language". Also, if you have seen The Dark Knight then you can definately play this game. Great game for tweens up

BEst Game EVERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I recently purchased this game, and have found it quite fun. It is, however, quite dark and at sometimes pretty violent. There are scenes in the game where players can see people being mercilessly killed, or tortured, but as Batman you can usually apprehend your enemies with little conflict. (i.e. silent takedowns) As Batman, you kill no one but "knock out" your enemies; slap 'em silly. The action is very realistic, but with realism comes some foul language. There are some colorful phrases that include the "b" words, the "d" word, and the "s" word, but there are no f-bombs dropped. The language is not commonly used, but will be heard by your enemies throughout the game. Other than that, the Batman is the Caped Crusader, a bringer of justice, and (being a superhero) is a good role model in every situation placed before him in the game. The game also uses the "free flow" combat system, making combat easy and fluid. The game also includes puzzles, mysteries to solve, and indepth story.

This game is wonderful. They have finally mastered the cross between superhero, detective, and morally conflicted person that Batman is. This game features many gadgets that can be used at anytime, thrilling action sequences, and very scary moments. Several times, I have been shocked that this game was rated "T." If it were my say, I would have rated it "M." Batman never kills his enemies, but Joker is not so merciful. Regardless of how quickly you filter out gas in a room or beat up the henchmen, the people you want to save always end up dead. This may be unsettling to some small children. There are 3 unforgettable run-ins with the Scarecrow, which even scared me. There is some gore when the Joker mutates his henchmen with Titan, and Batman can be shot if he breaks cover in a room with armed thugs. If you fail some hostage missions, characters are shot off-screen. Dead bodies are littered throughout the game, often posed in macabre but humorous positions. Harley Quinn also shows some cleavage, and Poison Ivy wears a thong made of plants. In short, if you think that this is a game for your 7-year-old Batman fan, think again, unless you want to be kept up for weeks by his screaming after waking from nightmares.

While the atmosphere and violence aren't appropriate for very young players, preteens and up that enjoy action games should have a great time playing as Batman. Outstanding graphics, audio and playability make it one of the best video games of all time.

Although this game is good, it is on the edge to becoming an M game, due to some major violence and sexual stuff. There's guns everywhere and Ivy shows her bare butt a lot.

This is a dark, violent, and not to mention scary game. Batman can hurl sharp batarangs at Joker's henchmen, break their bones, pull them off catwalks 10-15 feet in the air, and much more. Also when Joker transforms into a titan monster, he is covered in blood. I almost soiled my pants on the Killer Croc part, maybe because it was around 9 p.m... But you have to admit Batman is a great role model. Sure he uses non-lethal violence as his main problem solver, but he does heroically stop Joker from destroying the Island and killing everyone in Gotham.

it was an ok game. It really kept me playing for a while, but had a reputation for boring parts. The violence isn't terrible, the language isn't too bad either. The only true downside is the way the female villains dress. However it had great messages, good role models and easy to play.
