Just Finished Batman AA and....

Oh my, what a game WHAT A GAME!!

I still cannot believe how this game got only a 9 here at gs, it should ve gotten atleast a 9.5 ATLEAST!!!

Awesome game allaround, great story, great graphics, awesome characters woah i seriously cannot wait til Batman AA 2.

Have you guys play it? if you havent bought this game yet get it NOW, seriously is one of those epic sp experiences that you are going to remenber for a long time.

Finished it on PS3, 100% :) Amazing game, loved every second of it.

I got it and finished it the day it came out, it was that good I didn't have a break while playing :P

I hope Batman AA2 will be longer and have more features.

Yea, one of the better games I have played. You really do feel like batman the way you take down enemys, This game to me is a 10/10 more so then gta4 or mgs4.

It was awesomesauce.

[spoiler] The last battle with Joker was pretty weak, though.. I wanted to fight that bastard. Not.. more thugs. [/spoiler]

Agreed... awesome game. I'm thinking of going back through it. It's been a while since i've played it!

It got 9 because the combat was a bit dull, and it was missing epic moments. It really didnt feel worth $50 to me, just another above average game. I got the same feeling that I got from bioshock, where the more I played it the less interested I was in it until it just ended.

It was Valve-like what Rocksteady did with that game. Thats the highest compliment I can give. No one really gave it a chance before it came out. I was a little bit surprised it didn't get 9.5 here on Gamespot. Yet they gave GOTY to something that only got 8.5. It wasn't quite the fairytale finish that AA deserved last year. biggest_loser

To bad that Batman AA 2 wont be released on PC...

Awesome game.

[spoiler] Like others have said, I too was disappointed by the final boss. [/spoiler]

Yeah amazing game and amazingly good in all perspectives, gameplay, polish, graphics, level design.

SPOILERS, nothing story based, just tell you which boss fight you gottta finish till you are very close to the end:

However i got to admit that after you kill poison ivy the game starts to lose quality and its a complete rush to the end with a cheap bossfights and an ending. A major improvement for the sequel will be more challenging bossfights that require the player to do more in order to fight. Also not making something like that "thing" in the 3rd scarecrow encounter. That gave me a hard attack :shock:

im going to get it when the GOTY ed comes out, is fine to with mouse ad key board or do i need a game pad ???theG_man

It is about as close to perfect as a game can get imo.

-Polished
-Excellent story
-Best voiceacting in a game EVER
-Good visuals
-The way they incorporated all of Batman's moves and abilities and equipment so seamlessly was no small feat
-Level design was varied and beautiful

A good game (7.5) with strong production values though its major faults were the fact that you have to play in Detective Mode for almost the entire game, combat was flashy but feels restricted, the story is a joke, the boss battles could have been done much better (Killer Croc, Joker being the main culprits) and the fact that each boss needed a "hit weak point 3 times" to kill.The game was also short. I finished the game in 12 hours with 184 riddles solved so I'd imagine the time required would drop significantly had I not done any riddles/checked for trophies/reels etc.

The scare crow fights and cutscenes were amazing though. I really freaked out when the game showed me a garbled and glitched scene in one of Scare Crow's cutscenes. I thought my PC crashed :P And the Riddler's final phone call is funny as hell.

Yeah, it's a near perfect game.:) The only complaint that I have is that the ending felt a little rushed.

I was disappointed with the combat in my demo playthrough. Over the years I played various third person combat games(Including superhero games such as Spiderman and older Batman games ect.), in a fair short amount of time it felt as if I had already played this. In addition, the combat was too simplified and easy.

Please, bring Ninja Gaiden to the PC platform.

I agree, more complexity would be welcome

but Batman did all right on its own imo.

I thought it was to be set in Gotham this time around. Anyone else felt that Joker's maskara felt a bit...lame? Like a poor copy of Heath Ledger's makeup?

The gameplay of batman was pretty simple. Yeah i agree the combat was pretty simple and it could use some more deep combos and dodge attacks. Also the bosses felt, very generic in how you fight them. They could make bossfights more engagning.dakan45

They need to revamp the system. It has very few combo moves to pull off and the combat feels a little too much like ballet. They should do it like in TDK where Batman fights brutal and fast. And they need to change the animations when an enemy is beaten. Grabbing the head after being punched in the gut is strange :P

And I agree, the combat in batman was its huge major fault.kevy619

Thought the combat was simplistic and needs to be revamped, I think the major fault of Batman AA was its story and the fact that you had to play in detective mode for almost the entire game. The game looks gorgeous so it's a shame to not see much of the graphics :(
