Just got the platinum trophy this morning . Loved every minute of the game

Alright, I'm just starting the challenges now and I'll confess I'm a hopeless button masher. For combat I basically just keep hitting the "square" button until I get prompted for a combo move.

Anyone got some basic tips on how to extend combos and multipliers?

Also, how do you catch your own batarang? I saw that listed as one of the trophies...

 

[hairlesswookiee]

yeah....be ready for the triangle button. button mashing the combos won't help. you have to time each hit, reversal, batarang because if you miss anything you lose the combo. try double tapping the X button to jump/evade over an enemy because it extends the combo even if you can't successfully hit an enemy.

 

[Club Obi Wan]

Cool, thanks! i figured there had to be a way to extend the combos but randomly pressing some of the other buttons didn't seem to help too much.

You have to get a code to download it which they would have given you when you pick up the preorder.

It was actually inside the specially marked shrink wrapped game, not a card handout like some other games.

The Scarecrow level was nothing special at all, it was just a one hit and you die challenge against skeletons.

Mask of the Phantasm =

have a framed poster from it ready to go on my wall.

The main challenge is really getting as many villains together in a plausable way.

Has anyone read Batman : Child of Dreams by Kia Asimiya, he did an interesting take on it.

I've read Child of Dreams, but not for a while. While i wasnt a big fan of the book it was quite cool to see basically all the main villains in one book. Kinda had something for everyone. Plus the batmobile on that book loked pretty awesome. :blackbat

WOW !!! This game is just amazing!!
I am 45% done. Dont want to beat it to fast.
exploring arround and trying to find it all.

I love setting traps for the henchman.
put some explosive, set the collar becon and when the guys get close to it BOOOMM !! it's so awsome.

Loved the part when the batwing came flying true the window.
6am and I cant stop playing this game.

This truly has been the best game i have played for a year or 2...

Just 'completed' the story mode today. Great game, truly amazing.

Felt the final fight was a little bit of a let down and also the spacing between the penultimate battle and the last was off, but other that that: incredible.

82% complete, off to find more Riddler Puzzles!

 

[JonnyReedie]

when you beat this game do you still get to explore and collect all the riddler trophies or is it best to save before the final boss?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

You can explore to your hearts content.
