Punches, counters and quick combos do most of the talking, especially once a crowd of enemies closes in. Batgirl, Robin and Nightwing also get their turn in the brawl, which helps keep the campaign from feeling too samey. The two-finger controls are uncomplicated, and the full v1.0 version is unlocked.
There is little fuss around the combat system; most of the time goes into clearing thugs and pushing through the next mission. Gotham, four costumed heroes and a suitably theatrical villain give it that unmistakable early-2000s superhero-game flavour.
