If there's a complaint I have, it's that I'm not too wild about being only in the confines of Arkham. Maybe a sequel could take place in Gotham proper. It's just plain, flatout fun. So far, I've battled Clayface and Mr. Zsasz. Joker, of course, shows up at the very beginning, along with Harley Quinn. Oh yeah, and Oracle/Barbara Gordon's voice appears throughout as well.

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Yeah, but it doesn't play PS2 games...only PS3 and PS1 The guy at Fry's was pimping all the PS3 stuff to me; the AA game had a collector's gift edition that included a doctor's journal on all of Arkham's inmates and a Batarang, suitable for displaying

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF I finished it last week with a score of 70% completion. So, I did so-so. It sounds really corny, I know, but if you ever harbored a fantasy of being Batman, this is the closest you could ever get. Using the gadgets is a lot of fun (especially the zip line), and you really do have to think and plan strategy. Barging into a situation will likely get Batman killed, so you have to be stealthy. There was one little nasty surprise about halfway through the game that totally threw me. It was really cruel but it made me laugh afterward. I hope they don't attempt a sequel because I honestly don't know how they could improve or add to it.

Originally Posted By mickeymeg My husband has been playing and playing this game since it came out. He has now finished the whole game, gone back to finish all the extra challenges and received all the trophies. It really looks like a great game, now it's my turn to try =)
