Gameplay: Fez is a very nice and kinda mezmerizing 2D platformer ... no wait, 3D? maybe we would like to settle on smth like 2.5D or 10/3 D? Well let's just say it has some D's ^^

Story: somebody be trippin' balls

If you wanted more of Arkham City, there you go.
The batmobil is the only change worth noting and it feels shoehorned in and the tank battles arn't that much fun.
That beeing said it's a great game and i had NO performance issues whatsoever when i played it after initial release. And i don't have a high end machine (GTX 560 and 4GB RAM)

Not as good as arkham city though

I have to say that while i sometimes enjoyed the dogfights there are some issues that make this game unplayable for me:

1. utterly long pauses
when getting shot you have to travel back to base in order to repair, something that usually takes as long as the match itself, so there really is no point in doing so and throwing yourself into enemy fire is much more effective.
Sometimes when respawning the action is so far away, that you have t travel several minutes

2. controls
There are a lot of different control modes in this game, and while it sounds great it's actually the problem. Playing with mouse-aim is so ridiculously easy compared to gamepad or keyboard that doing the letter just gets you shot down.
But mouse-aiming doesn't feel at all like flighing a plane because of the lacking difficulty and is just plain boring.
The only game mode that prohibits mouse-aim is the simulator mode and seamed to be way too complicated.

3. untransparant leveling
I am not an expert in aviation, i just wanted to have some fun flighing a fighter. but then there are so many different planes to lvl with no explanation but a LOT of numbers that don't mean ♥♥♥♥ to me although i am an aerospace engineering-student.

4. matchmaking
I haven't played too much but it seemes to be a known issue. One game feels quite great and leveled, the next is like shooting fish in a barrel. But then i get thrown in a game and before I'm even in range i get shot down with 2 hits (usually takes about 10-15) and the enemys are unbelievably manouverable.

So NO, too many issues
