[quote]It all boils down to scenes of torture, shooting unarmed civilians and some little swears. Check the full details below.
Content Descriptors: Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence
Rating Summary: “This is an action-adventure game in which players primarily assume the role of Batman as he battles several villains spreading chaos across Gotham City. Players traverse a variety of locations around Gotham while battling thugs, examining crime scenes, and occasionally rescuing hostages. Players engage in melee-style combat using punches, kicks, and gadgets (e.g., batarangs, explosives).
“Enemies cry out in pain when struck, and some takedowns are highlighted by brief slow-motion effects and loud impact sounds. Some sequences allow players to use tank-like vehicles with machine gun turrets and rockets to shoot enemies; a vehicle’s wheels are also used to torture an enemy in one sequence. Cutscenes depict characters getting shot (on and off camera) while restrained or unarmed. Large bloodstains/pools of blood appear in crime scenes and in the aftermath of violent acts; one room depicts a person torturing a character on a bloody operating table.
“During the course of the game, players can shoot unarmed characters and a hostage. Neon signs in a red-light district read “live nude girls” and “XXX.” The words “b*tch,” “gobsh*te,” and “a*s” appear in the dialogue.”[/quote]
Sounds interesting.

what was even the point of the *'s there?
Gee I wonder what horrible word gobsh*te could be
I haven't played the Batman games before due to a complete lack of interest in them, though the combat looks fantastic. I must say that I'm certainly going to give this one the time of day and the others before this one comes out. It's nice to see a "darker" Batman again.

You've been missing out. Those games are amazing and you'll enjoy the major differences between Asylum/City/Knight.

Again? Batman has been "darker" for the past 20 years.

No. Things don't need to be darker. Batman is already, tonally, very dark.

You can play as Red Hood. He uses pistols.

Personally, i hope we see more M rated superhero games.
Theres some characters who practically need an M rating to be done justice. Like Wolverine.

I was hoping to get this game on release but it looks like I'm waiting for the GOTY edition again to get all the content

His X-men origins game was an M rating and that was pretty good
