I've been a comic book nerd since I was a little kid, but for some reason, I never got into the video game adaptations of the comics. I decided to try this game out, and I was completely blown away!
The gameplay, atmosphere, and storyline were all awesome in their own right (I'm sure other reviews will talk about that ad nauseam), but the thing that caught my attention the most was the GamePad's utilization. Here's a few cool things the GamePad does in this game in particular:
1) Any radio frequnecies heard by Batman will be played through the GamePad's speakers and not the TV. It's actually really cool!
2) The asymmetric gameplay is really innovative. For example, when you hack devices in-game, you mediate the hacking process through the GamePad, which is similar to how Batman uses a computer screen in his suit.
3) It allows for very quick and easy weapon/gadget selection.
4) A real-time map appears on the GamePad, which is incredibly useful. You don't need to pause for a nice map.
I really wish that more games incorporated the GamePad in such a unique and powerful way. Most Wii U games either mirror the game to the GamePad, or just give a map (if you're lucky). This amazing game made me realize that the GamePad is incredibly underutilized in most Wii U games.
