To start, You really need to play these titles preferably with your son! This is not the type of choice you want a forum to make unless they are funding this adventure. With that said, Batman to me is an incredible title and tics every box for code, fun, humor, shots, and most importantly depth. For me, I tried Aerosmith and Metallica and Very quickly started to actually dislike the bands after listening to the Same sound track 500 times! I love the music but imagine only owning one CD in your Expense car. Thats how it felt for me. I find the rock themes great to play but Only if you have a deep collection of games. Add to that, kids often grow tired of music much like cleaning their rooms! Good luck with YOUR decision. FYI, Attack from Mars is great but if your looking for a great father son title I would hold out for CGC game #3 personally over Attack.
