The Batman Arkham Action Pack has two games that defied my expectations with regards to license based games. This may be due to some of the other awful past games such as Superman 64 and the Aquaman game for gamecube, but when I played these games you can actually believe that you are playing as the Dark Knight (in Arkham City you can also play as Catwoman, I haven't played too much of that yet though) and is a very well realized release.
So why only four out of five stars? Well, the biggest issue I had was the use of DRM in this case. The use of Games for Windows is completely unnecessary when this can be redeemed with Steam. What makes this worse is SecuROM which actually corrupted my Arkham City install and I had to reinstall as a result. (It doesn't like multiple OS computers apparently so I may have to look at bypassing SecuROM on grounds of operability issues.) This was completely unnecessary and only serves to punish paying customers.
