overpowered

I just finished all of the story missions and side missions and found all the goodies. I haven't done any challenge maps and I didn't do a lot of the skill challenges.
It's basically like Arkham City, but generally not as good.
I was very annoyed by the Slade/Deathstroke boss fight. It's relatively early in the game and I couldn't beat it. I ended up restarting my game in easy mode and maximizing my armor before getting to the boss fight. I still couldn't beat it for dozens of attempts, even with searching for tips online. Basically, it's a 3 phase battle. In the third phase, it's effectively a QTE but without the prompts. You have to do a lot of perfectly timed counters or you're toast. I finally managed to squeak through, but it sucked. It's just not fun when it's like that.
The game also has a few annoying glitches. Sometimes the "facial recognition" of characters you're supposed to "interrogate" doesn't work right and they can't be interrogated. Restarting the game seems to make them become interrogatable. I had a couple of freezes that required powering down the PS3. In Blackgate, there's a point where you have to raise the water in a loch and Batman tells you how, repeatedly, even after you've done it, and won't stop. Once while battling Deadshot, I was somehow standing on the ledge next to him and he started shooting me and I was stuck in slow walk mode like when the Batman is having a conversation with someone over the comms and I couldn't do anything but slow walk.
Other than that, it was decent. If you liked Arkham City and you can get past the above, it's worth the $15.
