Woo-Hoo, my copy turned up at work today.

Does seem that the UK Collectors version cheaps out compared to the US Edition.

The behind the scenes disc is only a DVD and the dossier doesn't have the "leather" cover.
Cheap ass bastards!

I thought the same when i opened mine!!

Still i'm just happy to have the game played about 90 mins and it was awesome you really do feel like Batman.

 

[Nocturne]

I know have downloaded the add ons as well, haven't played them.

Will probably give the 'rang a repaint looks like with a bit of TLC it'll make a nice display piece. But I can understand why people would be dissapointed

 

[devlinboy]

I couldn't believe it when I read this:

Batman: Arkham Asylum Receives Guinness World Record

Batman: Arkham Asylum has picked up a good deal of buzz, and not just from our little corner of the internet. While the game is scoring well among game critics, it's also receiving favorable reviews from other sources like the Associated Press. This positivity has led to it officially receiving a Guinness World Record for "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever." The press release claims it received the highest average review score to date (91.67) on a global scale. Gaz Deaves from Guinness World Records called it a "fantastic new game" and says they believe "it has a well deserved place in the Guinness World Records Book."

In a genre most famous for terrible games, this might not seem like much of an accomplishment. Still, we were one review among the chorus of praise for the game, and a record is a record. Eidos, and particularly Rocksteady, are probably soaking this in.

It doesn't take much to get into Guiness, I guess.

[Nocturne]

Did the morgue bit myself not too long ago, liked the thing with the bugs before you went in. The game has such great little touches to make its whole

 

[Rock83]

I have been playing this game for 4 hours straight today,just got to the Bat Cave.

[RICEaRONI]

One of my favorite parts in the game was

Spoiler

when the game acts like it crashes and the whole beginning of the game is reversed, with the joker capturing batman. pretty awesome, I actually thought my game spazzed out when it first happened

 

[spidermonkey]

This game is pretty amazing. I also tripped out on the morgue part.

 

[karamazov80]
