Batman AA

For anyone who was considering if this game is even worth it, let me be the first to say, it's a 10/10 game.

It takes a LOT to impress me, but seriously these guys have taken on a task of creating a tough game like Batman, which in itself has some serious expectations. Many games that follow comics and movies fall a bit short due to the reader/viewers impression of the characters and how the world works in their minds.

This is one of those rare games that delivers and delivers. I must own about 100+ PC games(I have a dedicated and full cupboard just for PC games) and can truely say that in the last couple of years, this is probably the only really impressive title in the PC gaming world.

It's dark, it's got some scary moments, combat varies from too easy to way too difficult, but never completely frustrating. You'll keep coming back for more.

Lastly, IMHO the best use of the Unreal engine yet.

He most probably got it early via a pre order with one of the online shops. I think it was out about a week or two in the States before we got it here.

I completed it , but only after using some unofficial add ons because it was buggy and there were alot of glitches with the grapple and glide.

Lol

Yes true ,but I realy wanted to play it after I did the demo
I have since embraced the original just to add to the collection
which in all fairness is still buggy even after the patch.

Absolutely loved this game. Like most people feel, too bad it ended after 10 hours. Got this on a Friday and finished it on the Sunday afternoon. I guess if you after full achievements then it would be a bit longer. But I just wanted to play the story mode. Let hope there is some DLC that adds more to the storyline.

Have you played some of the challange maps yet?

The Voice acting in this game, should be the Bar to which all games aspire to reach.
I can't get over just how well made this game is.

If in future you EVER see a title by Rocksteady coupled with Eidos then go buy it, buy it immediately. These guys know how to build a game!

Its the No Cd Dvd Crack that is used , the secure rom effects itmid way trough the game .

It only works fine if you have the original disc in the tray.
I still cant get some of the riddler trophy s cause the game doesn't draw all the images .
Works fine if you replace the cracked exe with the original one thou.

PC is right, PIRATE!!!! If you have original then why not just play with the original. Can hardly blame the game coz you choose to play on copied version. Tsk Tsk.
15-10-2009, 01:47 PM
Venom

LOL
I have the original this is my point guys , I use the NO CD/DVD so I dont damage my originals cause I trade them with BT games and the like and they trade based on the condition of the game.
also so I can just launch a game from the shortcuts .
This particular NO CD /DVD messes with the secure rom
Using no dvd cracks is not pirating ,
With our bandwith restrictions in SA and the pricing it would cost 3 times as much to download a 7 gig game.
So seriously enough with the Pirate comments I wouldnt mind so much if I was one .
FYI the challenge mode didn't work until the V1.1 patch

Since when does BT trade in PC games?

Damn ....Im realy starting to look like a Bad guy ,but if I have to explain ...I will...
I obviously didnt word myself right.

Yes I do Have the original .
Yes I am a freak about scratches on my Discs.
I have traded console games with BT games
Yes the guys at the stores have personally taken a few of my Original PC games because of the condition I keep them and I have traded and swapped with other customers.

Its cool thou if you label me a Pirate its your choice
But I am of those that actually do buy the originals .
And I wont deny the fact that I have played copied games , some sucked some worth owning .
Say what you may ....Your choice.
