Love this game. Such a good story and beautiful, cinematic gameplay that even waiting six weeks for a PC version that crashes all the damned time doesn't bother me too much.:rolleyes: Oh, and not being able to have Catwoman in her animated series outfit (which is so much nicer) in the main campaign because I don't have an alternate Batman skin is very annoying.



Spoilers:




Starting off playing as Bruce Wayne was such a treat.

Joker is dead, didn't see that coming. A suitable end for the clown prince of crime, though. Love the way they handled Batmans response to it, too, in keeping with the bizarre relationship the two of them had.

Harley Quinn is pregnant. Without the joker I could see her being a decent mother, with her obsession with the Joker transferred to the little Jokerlet. Looking forward to seeing how that pans out in the inevitable and eagerly anticipated sequel.

Catwoman is fantastic, and with the animated series skin I can at least pretend she is blonde under it.:rolleyes: Love her levels and I'm so much better at fighting with her than with Batman, its embaressing. Would have liked to see Catwoman and Poison Ivy kiss, but you can't have everything.

The cameo of Hush was pretty nifty for someone who had only just read his eponymous comic.

So nice hearing Alfred in game, at last.

9.5/10 EG points.

Agree on all counts.

However, I don't think i'm going to be able to bring myself to finish all of the Riddler things. So damn many of them.

I got them all in Asylum. Haven't got City yet...but seeing as I waited a year after release for Asylum it'll be a little while yet

I did in Asylum as well...but I think there are about 200 more in Arkham City. The number of challenges is absurd. Not only are there still Joker's chattering teeth, but balloons, penguins, and all sorts of other stuff. I don't hate it...but it's a lot of work.

I'm slowly working my way through the trophies while I wait for the Batman skins DLC which will let me play with the animated costumes in the campaign. Some of them are extremely annoying.:rolleyes: It doesn't help that it crashes randomly and quite often and then takes a good five minutes to start up, it makes for slow going sometimes.

It would be nice if they would release some mission DLC or something, not just skins and extra maps. More Catwoman missions or some Robin and Nightwing missions for example.
