User blog comment:Supermorff/Angry Joe interview for YJ: Legacy/@comment-177.17.97.15-20120618184503/@comment-5188724-20120619222028

Well one of the reasons why most licensed games suck is, as the lady in this interview points out, the developers aren't allowed to make canon stories in their games. The result is that they are either forced to follow the source material exactly and just turn that into a game or to write up an unnecessary, pointless addition to the main storyline and work with that. Both options suck because most people don't want to play what they have already seen on tv/in movies and that the random storylines are usually uninteresting and forgettable. At least we know that YJ Legacy will have a canon story written by the actual writers for the show, meaning that the story will be moderately entertaining.

I admit that the gameplay looks pretty generic at this point, but this is just the pre-alpha demo that they made just to have something at E3 to show. The graphics are not final and they still have to add the combo feature, voices, the puzzle features, etc. I'm pretty sure the game will be half-decent, especially considering that the game studio is very new and likely has a low budget. My one gripe with the game is the ugly character animations, especially nightwing's awkward basic stick attack combo.
