Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
I just started playing this game two days ago. I don't think I'm very far yet, as I've only fought 2 or 3 main villains.
I regret buying the Collector's Edition, though. I thought the batarang would be bad-ass...

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
If you're hitting a guy or doing the jump/evade maneuver constantly, your combo won't break and you'll get buttloads of points just as long as you don't stop striking, cape stunning or jump/evading (and not getting hit helps as well for the Dark Knight bonus). Varying your attacks (i.e. batarang, cape stun) will also give a decent end round bonus.

This game is pretty much perfect for me. Quick question: how many of Batman's rogues have those therapy session tapes? At first I thought it was only the Riddler, but now I've run across tapes for Joker and Croc too! I LOVE these things! Normally, I'm not much for "exploring" game worlds, I normally don't give a shit, but this game has me combing over every knock and cranny.

All of the "main" villains with major roles in the game have the session tapes scattered around. In addition to Joker, HQ, Croc, Riddler, and Scarecrow there are also tapes for Poison Ivy and Mr. Zsasz as well.
I love the "failure screens" when you play as Joker.
They certainly weren't kidding when they said that the Joker challenge levels force you to play entirely differently than you do with Batman.

I wants those so bad. I hope it becomes 360 DLC. Otherwise I might have to rebuy this game if and when I get a new cheaper PS3. About the failure screens, I find myself dying on purpose once or twice when I face a boss to see what they do.

and I hope they count towards medals....
Sorry but I don't recall the names of the map...the first one has "Night" in it though...not "Knight" which I found odd.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
One thing that has consistently made me chuckle while playing this game is that you seem to move faster while crouching/sneaking than you do while upright walk mode. So when I play, I'm in a perpetual crouch.
