    I just finished my first play-through of this on hard. It's remarkable, the best game I've played on the PS3. Kudos to Rocksteady and Eidos, keep it up and please don't botch the sequel.

    Just bought it. Wonderful game! I can say it's the best HQ based videogame ever made.

    In a word: Perfect!
    I've just accomplished the perfect knight achievement and just can't wait to start all over again.
    Is there any similar games?

    AWESOME GAME!!!! graphics are amazing, the joker looks more maniacal, and it is ALOT better than the other cheesy batman games out there.

    ps3 version better

    oh yea and i hope the sequel takes place in gotham city and you can free roam as batman. that would be a dream come true and make two face a villian. if youve ever heard two face's voice actor in the cartoon, wow its amazing, they should use him.

    this was an excellent game. every review i've read said it makes you feel like batman and i couldnt agree more. if you like action adventure games or batman in general, definatley worth the money. if you want to play as joker, get the ps3 version, if not, there isnt really any differences.

    I couldn't get into this at first. Not sure why. I tried a few time and kept getting bored. I never got past the first half-hour.

    About three days ago I decided to try it again and it really hooked me in. I played it for a few hours on the first two days and loved it, then yesterday I put it on and could not stop playing it. I played it for about 12 hours, only stopping for a quick drink or toilet break.

    I NEVER play one game for that amount of time without stopping. I usually get bored after an hour or two. Batman AA is just an utterly awesome game. It's definitely the best 360 game I've played this year and ranks among the best on the system.

    I think GS were a little conservative with AA's review score. It's easily a 9.5 IMO. If you haven't played it yet I suggest you go buy a copy now and get ready for a great time.

    This is definitely the best comic book based game I have ever played, and I've only played about 30 minutes of it!

  • geroy69

    Posted Nov 8, 2009 9:19 pm PT

    I just beat the game that time and I'm tempted to play it all over again! Seriously. The game is really really good! And I'm FAAARRR from a big comic book fan. Just an amazing game that you can tell took time to make! I did not bump into ONE glitch. And it's probably the 1st game I've seen for the 360 where the frame rate NEVER dropped, and it has amazing graphics! Seriously check this one out!

  • xmido

  • geroy69

    Posted Nov 6, 2009 10:28 pm PT

    I'm not even a comic book fan but this game is AMAZING! I never thought I would say this but I think a 9 is to low for this game. I really do! This game deserves a 9.5 IF NOT A 10!! Seriously guys! If you haven't played this game. Get it!

    Posted Oct 29, 2009 3:11 am PT

    I bought it and play it, and it is good I see why everyone likes but It couldn't hold my attention, probably because I bought uncharted 2 at the same time.

  • Karrotjuce

    Posted Oct 28, 2009 5:42 pm PT

    A true masterpiece, I have never felt such awesomeness in playing a detective, especially when it's Batman. This game is a true masterpiece.

    I never played a super hero game before.
    but this game should be the first, on question about that.
    Thank you for this awesome review.

    This is really an excellent game. Got my hands on it and beat it in about 10 days. Very interesting gameplay, bosses, trophies, Batman's moves and even the Riddler's challenges. Also, replay is a good option.
