I am a casual gamer. With that being said, I feel it is my duty to defend this game for the hours of enjoyment that it has given me. First, I love the comic book style cut scenes- being a comic book geek from the 80's, I thought the art was retro-tastic, and the accompanying voice overs gave the game a realistic and personal touch. As the critic stated, the backgrounds are a bit drab (but it is a prison!) but very detailed. I never got bored looking at them. Although technically a platformer, the game dynamics and camera angles along with dramatic lighting, made it feel much more in-depth. The combat controls are a little tricky at first, but once I got the hang of it, I had no problems whooping on bad guy butt, perfectly timing counter attacks and combinations. The story line is well written and will make it hard to put down your 3DS. Overall, I found the game challenging and a lot of fun! For all of the folks who aren't buying this game because of one bad review, you are missing out! I would give this game at least a 9, maybe even a 10.
