Batman: Arkham City [PS3/360/PC]

[Ali]

IGN gave it a 9.5. So that's pretty good.

Then again... they gave shitty Fifa a 9.5 too, so I'm not sure if I can trust them too much :tongue:

 

[Sho]

9/10 on Eurogamer.

 

[Dragonfly]

10, 9.5, 9. Seems to be getting worse.

10, 9.5, 9. Seems to be getting worse.

In the 30 or so reviews so far 8.5 is the lowest people have gone. And that was only one site.

Ordered the Robin edition from gameplay. So there's one less DLC bundle I have to concern about in the future.

What's this I'm hearing about Cat Women's part of the game, Pre owners will miss out or buy it from psn or xbox marketplace.

Catwoman will still be in the game, but if you want to play her missions you will have to buy it brand new or download the content from the store. More online pass nonsene that is becoming more and more common.

I might just wait until they bring out a 'Game of the Year' version.

I might just wait until they bring out a 'Game of the Year' version.

I was thinking the same, so all the DLCs are included, but that'll probably be a year later. I don't think I can be arsed to wait and I don't buy DLCs anyway.

Nothing but making extra money.

I've pre-ordered the Two Face steelbook for the PS3.

Alternatively, trade Forza 4, Gears 3, X-Men Destiny or FIFA 12 back to Game, and Batman: Arkham City will be yours for £4.99.

My copy came through the post this morning and I played it up until around 1.30pm. Really enjoying it thus far and the gameplay is superb once again. The amount of depth in the game is just amazing.

Tomorrow can't come sooner! Goodbye Gears Of War 3 hello Batman!

 

[Ali]

I'm picking mine up from GAME tomorrow after work. I pre ordered it yesterday (when buying PES 2012) in the hope that they'd hold it until next week, but they only hold it for 48 hours. As strange as it may sound, I'm not ready to play it tomorrow, I might just hold off playing it for a little bit.

 

[Dragonfly]

My copy came this morning. Brilliant work from dvd.co.uk, since I ordered it about 30 hours earlier. Ironically, I probably won't be playing it until Saturday at the earliest.

 

[Haribo]

Waiting on Catwoman to download. :folarm:

 

[Sho]

SO far its excellent.
