Batman: Arkham City

[NJCardFan]

Anyone looking forward to this game? Some new features including a playable Catwoman. Villains that I know of are the Joker and Harley(of course), the Riddler, Hugo Strange, Mr. Freeze, Two Face, and judging by the first trailer, the Penguin perhaps(as we see the Ice Berg Lounge) and Black Mask(as we see the name Sionis on the building the Joker is in). Due out next fall.

definitely. The first game was awesome.

What sucks is that we have to wait so long. Arkham Asylum is the game I like to play over and over but I'm starting to get bored with it.

The first game was by far the best Batman game ever. Probably my favorite Hero game ever. I can't wait for this game.

Been announced that pre-ordering the game you'll get the Robin DLC for free. Also announced(only through the release of the trophy list) that at some point there will be a Nightwing DLC. I'm pre-ordering this as we speak.

 

[BigRedRage]

i love and hate DLC at the same time. While its nice to expand games, too many developers take elements from the game and them add them for more money. Robin should be included regardless, you know?

Or for example: the day tiger woods comes out, at least 2 new maps will be available. Screw you, EA.

Can't wait. Loved the first one. The best part was that they got the voice actors from the Animated Series, which for me is still the definitive version of the Batman mythos.

Arleen Sorkin unfortunately is not voicing Harley in this game. Speaking of which, I'm trying to understand why the game developers are going out of their way to make Harley look like a 20-something little chippy when in fact she's more than likely a 30-something with a medical degree. I mean, look at this:

The devs figure that kids need someone they can fap to?

#1 Never a fan of Batman Beyond.
#2 Looks like Batman was stung by a bee and just started Jenny Craig.
#3 Is my favorite
#4 Pretty cool and has a nostalgic feel
#5 Reminds me of cartoon look which was OK
#6 Like this one too minus the big ears.

#1 Never watched the series, or read the comics (if there are any) but it still looks bad ass!
#2 Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns" Batman...I think it's awesome. Also reminiscent of the Batman in the fan-film "Dead End". Number 2 on my list of those shown.
#3 Earth One Batman? Cool, but not one of my faves.
#4 Classic Batman...my personal favorite (see previous post)
#5 Animated Batman...nah, no thanks
#6 I like this one too, but have the same problem with the larger ears.

 

[NJCardFan]

Well, #6 is from the last game.

Got the game today and so far, it's not that much different than Arkham Asylum. I'm a bit stuck right now. Transversing the city is tricky. Right now I can't find a way into the Sionis factory. I ended up turning the game off in frustration. Arkham Asylum was east to navigate but this, so far, has been a nightmare. And the Riddler trophy's and riddles are confusing. Can't figure them out. So, so far, I'm a tad disappointed in the game play. The storyline so far has been great though.

saw it already has downloadable content of catwoman you can buy.

 

[azsportsfan01]

Should you play Arkham Asylum first? Debating if I want to go buy it. I think I heard that if you buy from Wal-Mart you get both games so that may be the place to go.

You should play that game anyway. It is a classic. Seriously, it is the best game I've played in the last 2 years (with the exception of maybe the Fallout Series). But no, I don't think it is absolutely necessary in terms of story or anything.

Well, to understand things like Titan, who Quincy Sharp is, etc. But other than that, AC is a sequel, yes, but not AA isn't a tie in. Sort of like Silent Hill. Don't need to play Silent Hill in order to play games 2, 3, 4, Origins, Homecoming.

Just finished the game and I just say wow! Great story and twists you won't see coming and the boss fights are 10X better than Arkham Asylum.

 

[BigRedRage]

played arkham asylum demo - awesome game, renting it wednesday and then playing this one after i beat #1

 

[Covert Rain]

I honestly didn't think it was possible to make a better game than the first. However, this is better. There are a couple moves I liked better in the original but there are some cool new moves. Way better side missions IMO in this one as well. As stated before the main storyline is good and there is a ton to do.

 

[BigRedRage]

I played and beat asylum over my winter vacation. Awesome game. Once I beat it I didnt really care to continue chasing joker challenges and beating the challenge mode but the game itself was very very solid. The plant girl stuff was kinda lame and the dodge, punch, jump on boss battles were a little tedious and predicatble but I give it an 8
