yeah i got to play it at my friends house for about 20 minutes and when i get back home(im on a trip across the USA) im gonna buy it and pre order gta5!!
1 Like I usually play for like 1 hour, or 2 as max...
but when I play this, I take like 4 or 5 man I don't wanna stop lol but i start getting physically tired... :P
the game is already awesome but the fact that you're playing as "Batman" makes it even more awesome!!!
playing as catwoman is pretty cool too, gives the game another feel :) she is pretty fast and climbs walls and ceilings and stuff...
yeah, astonishing game!
2 Like 9.0 is a respectable score but i think a 9.5 would be more fitting. I personally cant seem to find anything negative to say about this game. Not just the best comic hero adaptation, but one of the best games in recent memory. Seems like only games that get those scores these days are those that have multiplayer component also (ex. Starcraft 2, Uncharted 2). I guess due to the "more bang for your buck" factor. In any case.....BRING ON THE NEXT ONE!!
I got preordered it after beating Arkham Asylum and I am SO happy i did. P.S The game is really long. @fpsrussia
This is probably the best review for this game that I've seen. It explains everything and doesn't have spoilers.
Great review as usual, Carolyn. I was a big fan of Arkham Asylum (that's an understatement) and was afraid A.C. would be just a retread. Your review gave me the information I needed to decide whether or not to purchase (I will be purchasing). This one really looks amazing.
will i able to play this game with 8600 GT 512 MB VGA ,4 GB DDR3 Ram and 3.0 GHZ dual core processor..?
I thought it would have gotten a higher score than this.
Not that it's a bad score or anything, it's just that I would have given Batman: Arkham Asylum a 9.5 and this game is clearly far superior yet gets the same score...
Still, whatever...

2 Like I bought this for PC because I wasn't about to pay an additional $20 for dumbed down graphics.
@dawnofhero Consoles perform only one task really well, where as PCs can be used for an extremely wide range of things. Enjoy your console closet nerd.
@dawnofhero PC gaming isn't for everyone. Why invest time and money into a hog when you're happy riding a moped.
1 Like @Darothic Right, but who wants to pay an additional $600+ for slightly better graphics when you can get just as good a version on a console? I was able to buy a new PS3+Arkham City for $200 at GameStop. To me, that's a better deal than building/buying a gaming PC. So, more power to you PC nerds, but I'm fine with my PS3 thank you very much.
1 Like FINALLY!! a GameSpot review where they don't show you every cutscene of the game to the point where u already know what will happen
1 Like One of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Thank you rocksteady for such an enjoyable experience
@smokey2003 i must have been drunk or something. i know the game is based off the cartoons and stuff. way back in the grip he killed people i believe. and come on, he killed joker in the first batman movie. BUT like i said. even the developers have said it's an entirely new vision of batman and gotham. im sure what i was originally trying to say was batman with an AR-15 would be stupid as hell.
I love it when he says "Cwime infested metwopolis" in the beginning :P Awesome review, Carolyn
@rahmie0789 Its a video review where the reviewer speaks throughout the entire video, how then is their voice insignificant.
@williebazerka no, there are some references but you shouldn't feel lost, I myself haven't played the first one and I am having as much as fun with it as any one who played AA.
Read the damn review if u don't like the reviewers voice. Sick of hearing ppl wine over something so insignificant.
