So, is Watchmen worth your hard-earned cash? I'm going to have to give a resounding "yes" to this expertly crafted beat-em-up. Even with its' shortcomings Watchmen always feels fresh, and really stands apart as a downloadable title.
Watchmen is more faithful to the film than to the comics and therefore may disappoint hardcore fans, for other though it's a real fun fighting game that you will enjoy it whilst it lasts.
Objectively, this first Watchmen episode is just an average brawler that looks fantastic at times, and has some good voice acting to boot.
There are Achievements and Trophies to unlock, but more levels and characters (no Silk Spectre II) would've made this something to really watch.
Though the very idea of a Watchmen brawler may sicken some, this could have been a good game. Unfortunately, the design lacked any imagination whatsoever. Add Watchmen: The End is Nigh to the long list of movie-licensed games that aren't any good.
Quotation forthcoming.
A strong license attached to an abysmal game, like a Ferrari attached to a boat anchor. [June 2009, p.95]
