Batman: Arkham City

[RickD]

Tuesday is the day! I actually never get jazzed up about video games but with Batman: Arkham City I am stoked for it!

Just as great a feeling as getting an awesome Mego toy for a great deal at a flea market or garage sale!

[BlackKnight]

I have heard alot of stuff about this ...
When it launches at Toysrus ..., a Sale for games will too ..., Buy 2 Games or Assesories, get the 3rd for free . Perect for X-mas imo ...

But then This guy over here gives you a code for some Joker Relm, or this guy has a code to play as Robin, or this guy has a code for The Animated Skin, or this guy has a code for the Blue/Grey Batman ...

I dunno where to get it, I want all the codes for the 360.

Walmart is giving a copy of Arkham asylum game of the year addition with the purchase of arkham city. Gameinformer just gave it a perfect 10 my son said.

[mego maniac mark]

I am getting it tomorrow, psyched!

[Werewolf]

The first one was awesome and City is supposed to be even better. I'm so getting a copy.

Has anyone played this yet? The reviews are pretty positive at this point but I would like to hear from someone that isn't a reviewer. I played Arkham Asylum on the PC and enjoyed it, but I am considering buying a PS3 or 360 along with this game.

[jimbutsu]

It's fun on the PS3. I like that there isn't a "punch" or "kick" button or anything like that... just one "Batman wrecks a dude he's standing near" button.

[RickD]

This game is fantastic! I'm a huge Batman fan and they have brought all the villians out on this one!

[mego maniac mark]

The game rocks! If you got the first, you will love it! I been losing sleep the last 2 days and am loving it!

[toys2cool]

i'm thinking about getting it

The bad:

The VR missions are really annoying. You have to do them prefectly or you'll have to do it totally over from the start. Which can take quite a bit of back tracking. Gave up on them.

You hear the B world a lot and I mean a lot. From Two-face to random thugs, Catwoman and Harley are constantly called it. It's overkill and annoying. It might be different if the thugs ever called Batman by an obscenity, but they don't.

Hunting the phone rings in a limited amount of time.

The good:

Voice acting from Hamill and Conroy. Awesome graphics and solid control. Fun fighting and rewarding combos that level up your gear.
