didn't want to fog up the Drake thread so here is my little review of Batman: A.A.

Short and sweet it is the best game I've played in a while that didn't involve me looking down the sites of a gun in a FPS. The story is well thought out and executed and brings back some old school batman animated series vibes. With the voices from the animated shows like Mark Hamill returning as the joker. It feels like it's grown up with me and this is the result. There is a great fight mechanic that makes the brawling feel unique to each situation. The layout of the levels and mission objectives give the game great pace between busting heads and stealth take downs. Stealth is sickly satisfactory taking down armed henchmen while hanging upside. Boss battles are interesting and plentiful. Although not long I enjoyed kicking the crap out of the likes of bane and using agility to defeat scarecrow. There are plenty of trophy's and hidden artifacts thanks to audio psych evaluation tapes, arkham history and the awesome amount of the Riddler's puzzles. The graphics are equal that of some of the amazing cut scenes in the ninja gaiden series. Just to comment again the level design is insane and the amount of detail put into the areas is amazing with plenty to look at.

I'm done with the game and have about 80% of the puzzles and artifacts found.
There lots of game play footage on youtube.com but i don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't played.

overall it's a great 1 person game. Plus on PlayStation you get to use the Joker in the Challenge mode which is just like a survival mode to beat up as many henchman and use as many different combos for points.

this shows alot of beat'em up. I like stealth missions.. but it shows a good amount of cut scene.

damn now I wanna play it!

i played a demo of it at Best Buy. Looked decent. Given that I'm not big into games, I'd probably wait til it drops in price unless I'm feeling like buying a new game.

I'll be picking this up soon!!

I downloaded the demo last week, bad ass game!

best buy had them memorial day weekend for buy one get the second half off ps3 games. I got this and wolfenstein. I am glad you liked this game. I was worried because i choose this over madden10 as my second game. I still have madden 09 i haven't even played yet. i started 08 but didn't finish it. i have the green bay and jets jersey covers for the 09. i guess i need the purple people eaters jersey now too....LOL! i also bought GH5 and sent out for GH VH edition free. it should be here 4-6weeks. thanks for the write up. i am going to start this one next!!!!

beat the game!...lots to it though. only 62% completed. riddlers searches and hidden stuff i missed a lot of. last 3 boss fights were kinda tough. i played on normal as i do most games. on expert this would be a majorly tough game. graphics look good all the way through. as with most ps3 games the controller seems to not respond quickly all the time. i like that it stays true to the content of batman. he doesn't ever use a gun... good game.
croc seems to want to be the next super villain???

hmmm....

I completed the game 86% The rest is done by beating the challenge maps and completing the tasks.. FUCK THAT. It's hard. But I did find 100% of the riddler trophies. Going Back and finding the maps and all of the riddles was almost as fun as the game. I found the boss battles relatively easy once you find a pattern. What is hard is the sub boss battles because the henchmen will get on your fuckin nerves while your trying to take on bigger enemies. The bat'arangs, explosive gel, claw hooks, remote control bat'arang and a few other gadgets are great. The batman Lore is alive and well in this game.

If anyone wants this game I'm selling it. $50
