An outstanding game with room for improvment

First, everyone knows how great of a game this is, so I am not going to comment on this aspect. Instead, I will address what could of been better.
Still a great title that you need to buy.
.
CONS
1.) There is absolutly no challenge to beating this game. That is probably why it feels so short in story mode. It's over in a blink of an eye.
2.) With all the characters in this game, it would have been nice if they added an online multip player game or at least co-op story mode.
3.) The story was okay, but could of been developed a little more. There was no mystery to the plot and you can pretty much guess what is going to happen next. As a result, you get a feeling that Batman could of played more of detective role if the story was better. In turn, you would then become more invested in the character.
4.) Although Bain and Croc show up as bosses in the game, they reallly don't add anything to the story. Also, you find Ridller clues which he taunts you, but where is the man himself? Where is the peinguin and Mr. Feeze?
5.) Scarecrow and the nightmare scenes are VERY impressive. The eriee sounds and mind blowing graphics really can't be described in words. However, Scarecrow as a boss was really disappointing. Just avoid his sight and you got him beat.... you got to be kidding (that easy). At least have his syringe hand come after you or something!!!

What's great about it: Cutting edge graphics, flawless controls and smooth animation, challenge modes addictive
What's not so great: Game way too short and easy. No online multiplayer
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great movie ruined by horrible video quality

THE PROS:
** Good price with $5 bucks off and a $10 dollar DVD version trade in.
** Includes Extended Version of the film. Adds depth to the story.
(Reveals moret of the dynamic incestrial relationship between Commodus wanting Lucillia. Also shows more of the roman political struggles and conspiracies, better overall story pacing and flow when added).
** Good selection of features, like commentary, trivia, trailers, TV shows on the roman games, galleries, documentaries, story boards, deleted scenes, etc.

THE CONS:
** Load times are a little slower compared to other movie blu-ray disc.
** Awful video quality for a blu-ray. Terrible video transfer, due to the digital noise reduction (DNR). Alot of fuzz image and washout in certain scenes.
** Audio has DTS sound, but i found it to be inconsistent. In acts were there is a conversation going, at times it would be soft and the next minute, it would sound much louder.
** The beginning where it shows other Movie Previews and the minute advertisement of the Sapphires series, the picture was extremely pixilated. Although not a main feature, there is no excuse for this bad encoding.

** BOTTOM LINE = Despite the low price, I do not recommend this item if you already have the regular DVD version. I wish i could get a refund.
What's great about it: All time classic
What's not so great: Paramount put absolutely no effort in enhancing this film from the regular DVD version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
