I first played this game as a downloadable demo and fell in love with it. The graphics are superb, the addition of an upgrade system makes you feel the development of Batman through the game has some meaning, not just to make the game easy. Easily one of the best games on the PS3 and a must for Batman fans!
After a long absence, Sade returns in classic form with an updated style and sound. I can not wait to see her live and in person. The tracks have the updated feel of the 21st century, but Ms. Adu is in classic form as her voice does gymnastics over the band's tracks, smoothly and effortlessly. This is a great relaxing CD and I am glad to hear her again.
What's great about it: After a long wait, the queen of smooth has returned!
What's not so great: There are only ten songs, need a double disc!
