Batman Arkham Assylum (Xbox 360)

Have you ever played one of those highly rated/regarded games and it left you unimpressed?  Well, Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY of the year was one of these for me. 

What I was ok with:
* "puzzles" (though many of them were the same thing over and over)
* Exploration
* Upgrading equipment

What I didn't like so much:
* Part of the game that mimics what happens before one of my past Xbox 360s red ringed (color, pixilation, etc).  I thought my system was having graphical issues. It took me 2-3 times of that scene before I let it go all the way through 
* The Scarecrow levels: I hate these
* The combat:
* The Camera
* Indirect "boss fights"  (I wish "action" games would limit this)
* Sometimes the controls seem "floaty" or not as responsive as I would like

Played:
* Difficulty: Easy
* Died: a bunch of times
* Achievements: 590/1,000 Gamerscore
* Collectibles/Riddles: All
* Challenges: none (I tried 1 or 2, but it was some of the worst parts of the game, to me, like combat)
