Reviews are biased ( Batman vs. Assassin's Creed )

Uncomplicated combat is fast-paced and looks fantastic

Really? That is a POSITIVE for Batman and a NEGATIVE for Assassin's creed ... and it's pretty much repetitive ... the only difference is Batman has a few more upgrades to use in battle ...

Don't get me wrong - Batman is50 Times better than Assassin's Creed - but if you're going to review something - Be more specific

Having played both, the combat systems are totally different and far more superior/fun in Batman. ANd if you've played both, you would know how and why both systems work.

Agreed- having played both I can say with confidence that the fun factor is way up there for Arkham Asylum.

Do people read anymore? TC's complaint is that reviews described combat system for both game identically, but one was considered positive and the other is negative.

He is saying reviews should be more detailed showing the difference between the two games. He is not saying both games have equal level of combat system.

well batman's combat is more offensive (striking a lot with an occasional counter), while assasin's creed's is a lot more defensive (basically waiting around for a chance to counter, and not attacking very often due to the risk of leaving yourself open)

so assasins creed's combat gets really annoying and repetitive, while batmans doesnt. that's probably why batmans was in the good section and assasins creeds was in the bad

I enjoyed Assassins creed combat, but yes the reviewers do seem to have a double standard about this. Though I think reviewers i general were way to hard on AC, maybe they have finally come to there senses

There are such things as different reviewers TC, this site doesn't have just one.

Gaming websites would not be complete without double standards and contradictions.

One person does not review every game...

When you come to accept that different reviews are written by different reviewers with different opinions, it's easily understandable.

His comments are taken out of context. I'm sure in the complete review, more detail is given on the fighting mechanics and why they are positive and negative.

Granted, i could be wrong and maybe both reviews sum up the fighting using the exact same phrase and then say absolutely nothing more. I doubt it...but I guess it's possible. I don't care enough to go back and read BOTH reviews to point out the flaws in his comment.

Batman's combat did feel more "free flow," whereas, although a fun game, Assasin's Creed was over and over again the same thing. Batman just felt more precise and exciting, while Assasin's Creed was like well I have seen this before.
