SonOfStayPuft Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Howdo! How many of you have this yet? I bet not loads because of the price, which is understandable. I bought it on Tuesday, and finally got to start it last night, and it's alright actually. It looks nice, the voice acting is typically brilliant as per usual, and the gameplay is enjoyable, but quite sluggish and slower paced in my opinion. The fights don't seem to flow like in the Arkham Games before this. Things like that and the grappling aren't quite as seamless as the others too. I never played it on the Vita or 3DS, so it's nice as a big Batman fan to finally play this like with Assassin's Creed Liberation HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clearly a portable game that has been revamped for the 360. It feels cheap to me overall, but I still like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutterk73 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Controls just feel off to me too..I'll wait til its on sale to get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Compared to the other Batman games I think it's pretty cool so far. Have no complaints at all about the controls. Combat system is too easy. Lots of collectibles too. The longer the better. I like the cutscenes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This be DMK Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It's a nice story but moving from between different scenery and combat at times is the worst of the games easily. Batman will sometimes just not want to swing at anything or if he does its thin air. Cool seeing a new character though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this was a Vita game so I am okay with it given my expectations. It is a very odd add-on to me that I am surprised they converted to 360. I am not complaining though since it is a nice distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thacent Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I can't stand the cutscenes, they are awful looking, my 5 year old cousin could draw better... it feels OK gameplay wise, I'll wait for it to go on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjdavies Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Seen the trailer, downloading the demo now. I will most likely buy this. EDIT: Controls not as smooth when I jump jump punch, I get hit sometimes at lot more than the other games, but will get it.

Evo Kazz Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Initially the controls felt fine, but the longer I spend with the game, the more they are annoying me, combos just don't suit this game at all in 2D. In other Batman games, I loved the combat and was good at it, this one it is just weird. The map is a total mess, apparently this edition has a better map that's easier to follow....I dread to think how bad the Vita map was. Pros ===== Graphics are great Sound is great Boss fights are fun Atmosphere is great Cons ===== Combo system feels out of place Map is a mess Puzzles or way forward made harder due to shit map Price - pretty expensive XBLA game.

I Cullen I Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The thing I dont like is the map, I HATE it, it might just be me but I find it so hard to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Toons Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think the game's terrible (I'm being kind when I put it this way), but the achievements are pretty easy (IMO) to obtain. Still need to get the actual AO game, because that's where it's at, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the demo, and died twice due to the controls in combat, I can't get used to it enough to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baki54 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I just picked this up for $4.99. A far cry from original price.It's a good deal I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPSnoob2012 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Map is killing me. Killing me. The Dark Knight is lost. Not cool. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPSnoob2012 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Think I'm done. Batman is forever lost in the depths of Blackgate. Gotham's on its own. Can't believe this map is better than the Vita's. Can't imagine the frustration those poor bastards felt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifth5urvivor Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It was a fun distraction especially at sale price but now the grind of being lost in Blackgate looking for secrets that don't show up on my shitty map is boring me to death. And what the hell is with the combat? Batman can leap 18 miles one second but can't punch a dude he just cape stunned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
