Batman: Arkham Asylum

[BadMoon]

where is this?? i'm almost tempted to drive around tomorrow to see if any of the wal mart and TRU stores put them on the shelves early.

It's for the wrong system though.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

no, i was planning on getting it for the PS3.

[Kabukiman]

i wonder when us PS3 boys can expect the Joker DLC...

 

[Spliff]

[Lord Aykroyd]

Question about the Joker DLC: do you need to buy the collectors ed. to get this?

 

[ironwez20]

man the reviews and the video are making more axious.

 

[Lord Aykroyd]

Question about the Joker DLC: do you need to buy the collectors ed. to get this?

The reason I ask is that its only listed on the collector's ed. ps3 version on the Best Buy site.

Also, has anyone heard about the collector's ed/ DLC or the gamestop (i think) exclusive DLC?

Do you think we'll be able to download these later anyway?

THE DLC for gamestop was some boneyard fight area where you fought skeletons. Dont think store specific DLC will be available for download later on though.

Joker DLC is free for all PS3 users, regardless of edition.

Are there other store specific DLCs too?

My friend got a "early copy". He sums the game up in one word, repetitive. Basically he said near all the boss fights are the same. You either fight a boss jacked up on "the juice" or you fight a boss where they constantly call on the goons/thugs/inmates and you gotta mash away to beat them. Very redudnant. The Joker boss was "disapointing"...

Spoiler

Joker injects "the Abom juice" (he said they literally turn into abomination from the hulk movie) and becomes another boring huge troll boss who calls on the thugs, And the ending just hints at a sequel, but in the city = $$$.
