Good point.

I love the way they did combat in this game. It appears there is a large variety to it as well because I see him do something different every time I am in a large fight.

I really enjoy the aspect of being at the top of the room, watching what is going on and then figuring out how to take out each guy quickly and quietly. The fact that there are so many ways and options to do this make replayability higher than expected for me. And I don't mind getting my ass kicked and then going back to the drawing board and trying something else.

I know Kevin Conroy is the "voice" of Batman but sometimes his lines in this game seem phoned. Mark Hamill, on the other hand, seems at the top of his game every time he say ANY line. Who knew where Luke would end up!

Was it ever determined if you get to keep your leveled up Batman if you finish on Normal and then want to move to Hard?

I figured I'd probably have to, but didn't check to see if it was in the abilities list. The ONLY gripe I have with this game is upgrading abilities and unlimited weapons. (At least the one I've had so far)

I understand that traditionally games like this have upgrade features but ... he's Batman! Shouldn't he know how to do all this stuff already?

I forgot to ask for those Fallout 3 players playing this game...do you walk up to every locker and try to open the damn thing? Just two weeks of playing Fallout 3 recently and I am playing the Batman game just like it.

Every desk, every locker...I walk up and hit A and nothing happens. It's almost automatic and I can't seem to break it yet.

When you gain XP you also gain health. That includes Riddler challenges, destroying Joker teeth, etc. Heck, when I play on hard I may leave Riddler statues lying around so I can get a quick health boost when I need it, heh.

Alrighty, so earlier today I got to

If you are that far, you'll know what I mean.

That's pretty good.

Well, I finished that part...

I haven't tried any challenge rooms yet. Are they anything like Terrorist Hunts in Rainbow Six: Vegas?


I think it would be awesome to just have a big area scattered with random armed guards and Batman has to take them all down without dying.

Batman A.A. is so bad ass it's now a world record breaker:

At one point, I feel like the Guinness World Records meant something, with people vying to grow their nails longer than a record holder. Or shove more ping pong balls in their mouth than the last guy. Or fart the alphabet.

Apparently not anymore, as Batman: Arkham Asylum has been awarded a Guinness World Record for the "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever." Yeah, we know -- there really wasn't anyone keeping track of this stuff, but you have to hand it to them... the game is pretty damned good.

In fact, it seems the award was handed out based on the game's Metacritic average which currently stands at 91 percent. With that, our staff more or less agreed, giving it an average score of an 8 out of 10. But to really know what we think of the game, you'll want to read the review to find out of it's really the best super hero game ever. (Hint: Probably.)

I'd love to see a sequel that takes place in Gotham City proper. That would be a blast.

You don't. There is no "New Game +" option if you finish. Just a set of challenge maps for .

Agreed. The ending really sets up Batman: Gotham City perfectly, and there were several very prominent villains that didn't get used in this game.

3 left. 1 set of 2 teeth, 1 trophy, and 1 riddle left.. the riddle has me stumped.. looked for an hour and could not find it.. I wish i had a baterang to put through the tv

This is where I'm having issues myself. But I do know...

The riddle I'm having issues with:

Shoulda bought the collector's edition...they would've supplied such Batarang

The teeth issue:

Did anybody mention this yet?
