I'm playing through it again right now on PS3 and it's even better than I played before. Maybe it has to to do with the fact I rushed through it on the Xbox and that I had to return it soon because I rented it from the local blockbuster??

The open world nation of the game leaves much to do and missions are manifold. I also enjoy the griminess of the game. The poignant soundtrack and visuals just add to that.

It's a longer game than the first one, even if you don't wanna do all the extra shyt. But it isn't impossibly long, especially if your only goal is to just beat it. That was my goal initially, then I went to my boy's crib and he showed me his 100% achievement, I gave him his :lawd: props.

After I left his crib, I had the battery in my back...been trying for the 100% since february, bare in mind, I work full-time, go to school full-time and I'm a parent of two kids. I really only get to play on sat night/sunday morning, while the kids are sleeping. But them Campaigns !!! :sadbron: Will have you tearing your hair out.
Dang I still need to beat this, I'm at the part where you're going after mr freeze and penguins goons are there and you have to take them out simultaneously :smh: tried like 5 times then on to the next game

The only reason I could see people saying this would be akin to what GetInTheTruck said, that there was too much to do, and the narrative of Asylum was more linear ... but I fail to see how that's a problem in a video game. I mean, you're trying to get your money's worth, right? :manny:
So you've changed your mind and telling me I should play this shyt, breh? I remember you always used to tell me not to waste my time with this series back on :hamster:

They see me trolling, they hating.....
Game was a breeze, I had more difficulty with cat woman's missions than with anything Batman had to go through

:yeshrug:


gotta play it thru it on hard one of these days tho, is there a trophy for beating it on hard?

:dwillhuh:?

the one thing i can't get right is the timing for some of those moves and I always get the "too late" ish popping up.

:comeon: Riddler trophies ain't the only thing, did you catch Vaz or whatever that psycho killers name is? did you stop the crazy assassin dude, did you catch Azrael?
You can't complain about a games length when there are plenty of fun things to do to add to the experience, some of us aren't trying to spend 100 hours on a doggone campaign

I meant to type that you was very early on the game.
I'm at that part again on my second play through.
:smh: yeah I know I don't even think I fought a boss yet :(, I liked the combat in AA more can you still use direction to choose who you hit?

:mindblown: You need to pop in Arkham City again. AC's combat was the SAME, it wasn't any different. Only thing new was a few new takedown moves and better sound effects. I played Arkham Asylum a week ago before playing this and AC improved on the combat a lot. It's much smoother.

Agreed. I miss the triple batclaw in AA though. But the other gadgets and takedowns are nice.
