IGN actually had the nerve to give this awesome game a 6 out of 10. As someone else said, "You can't spell ignorance without IGN," and they were so right. GamePro at least rated this respectably, although I am rating it .5 higher. Aside from some pedestrian/car woes and minor camera-and-framerate-related issues, this is an incredible game. They finally nailed the swinging, and the city looks amazing. More cars crowd the streets than ever before, and the number of pedestrians has also been noticeably increased. However, this has come at the price of some reality. I wasn't focusing too much on the pedestrians in my recent battle with the New Goblin, but I think I saw several walking by as though nothing was happening. Something similar was happenning with the cars. This is, unfortunately, a downgrade from the prequel. I tried punching one civilian recently, and he jerked out of the way and continued on. Wow. However, this can result in rather amusing, if inconvenience-causing, situations. Twice in a row (in the Black Suit, no less) I was run over by a gray car and flipped six times (three for each hit) onto the pavement. Finally I mashed the A button and manage to swing away. Phew! The boss battles, the way I see them, are exciting and challenging. Also, the ability to switch to the Black Suit and swing through all the missions again with the suit on is awesome. Above all, buy this game. It's worth it.
