Who wouldn’t want a handheld version of the Batman Arkham series? Alas, this isn’t that game. It’s instead a 2.5D platformer, with Batman moving through dynamic levels instead of freely roaming the kind of open environs Arkham fans adore.
The free-flow combat system remains, which bodes well, and the only real catch here, since there’s no reason a Batman platformer couldn’t work, is that the developer, Armature Studios, has a pretty short resume: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection — a port, not an original game.
