Yeah that was posted a little while ago. Still great to see again though. Girls got some sweet moves.

Just downloaded Robin and gotta say, he's awesome. Only problem is, playing the challenge maps just makes me wish there were some actual story levels we could use him in. The main outfit has actually grown on me as i wasnt really a fan to begin with, but the Red Robin outfit looks fantastic. Love it.
Now its making me wanna get Nightwing too.

Glad to hear you liked Robin! I agree it's a shame there aren't any story levels we can use him in, Nightwing too for that matter, but it's still cool having them as playable characters in the challenges.
It's actually great that this time around we have the choice of four playable characters in the challenges as opposed to just Batman.

You should definitely download Nightwing too - He's just as cool as Robin and the Wayne Manor challenge room is really good aswell.

Yeah, i do love the fact that we have four different characters for the challenge maps, all with a different feel and style. I was just playing a couple with Catwoman too and really love her too. Love the speed and agility she has, and all the high kicking. I think i have to get Nightwing now too. And hope that in a future game (or maybe even future DLC on this one) that we may get a story mode with Robin or Nightwing. I think some good DLC would be to play as Robin and see what he got up to when he left Batman iin the game.

^ Yeah, would be cool if they could work in some story DLC that showed what Robin got up to after leaving Batman, perhaps a short 'escape Arkham City' mission since Robin was supposedly taking Bruce's blood back to the Batcave.
Also, just thinking about it now, did they ever explain in the game what happened regarding all the people in Gotham who had been exposed to The Jokers infected blood? I'm pretty sure I remember Oracle or Alfred confirming that a number of people had been diagnosed as having it....

I still hope for Co-Op dlc, or at least for a component in the next game. Also, just got my Platinum trophy!

Well, I beat the game in the wee hours this morning. . . maybe it was just because I beat it over the course of two days, but the game seemed very short. I think it took me around 8 hours. I just didn't enjoy it as much as Arkham Asylum, this one was a lot more 'button-mashy' I felt, probably because of the addition of the 'beat-down' move. It just seemed like they just made MORE of everything to make it better, like instead of fighting eight guys at once, now you fight 28 guys at once.

The gliding and diving mechanic just doesn't work for me, with how many buildings there are, it always blocks where I'm trying to head. There's just a lot of annoyances, the Cold Call Killer side mission pisses me off, which attributes to why I hate the gliding/diving mechanic so much. Maybe I'm just missing something, but why put that 'restricted area right in the corner of the map and force you to go around it?? You get just under two minutes to go around the whole thing to answer Zsaz' phone. I never get there.

AA was challenging/fun, this one is challenging/annoying.

 

[sfa]

WooHoo! 100% completion! Love it
Now to start the story all over again on hard mode!

@ SwedishHeat - I'm sure you'll get the hang of the gliding/diving eventually, and when you do you'll find it very easy to glide across the whole city with speed and ease.
The gliding is actually the thing I love the most about Arkham City, it's so addictive just gliding around without ever having to touch the ground. When I'm playing in the challenge modes that's the thing I miss the most.

 

[batfan08]

Hey SFA, are you on XBOX or PS3? Also, is that 100% including the DLC? I feel that's going to be another challenge itself.

Started Playing it last evening since I got it yesterday afternoon... played it from like 6pm to 2.30am... relly really cool game. However the boss fight (The Solomon Grundy one) seemed kinda very lame... the whole destroying the generators thing affecting his overall health was just... too weird.

I'm on PS3.
Thankfully the 100% doesn't include DLC!
I was worried that I'd have to get all the challenge mode medals for Catwoman, Nightwing & Robin aswell, but last night I finished getting all Batman's challenge medals and there it was - a big, shiny 100%
So it seems the DLC challenge medals are completely optional if you want 100% and probably just for die-hard compulsives to complete - so I'll get cracking on those fairly soon-ish then....

 

[batfan08]

I'm about 14 medals in for Robin's ranked challenges. What's your PSN?

 

[Megacolor]

i beat the game, now im doing all the side mission.

 

[Desamo]

I started to play this last Saturday on PC.This is much better game than Arkham Asylum.

 

[Buttmunch]

Downloaded the skins pack today so I can finally play the game plus mode! I figure, why blow through that without the skins? They wouldn't be much fun to have if I couldn't play with them a bit.

New downloadable game for iPad/iPhone ... Batman Arkham City Lockdown. Includes a new villain ... Deathstroke ...

The game has fights with several major villains, including Grundy, Two Face and Deathstroke ...

Not sure if there will be similar content for the PS3 or XBox. But, the addition of Deathstroke seems notable.

Infinity Batman

His hits look good, but I really LOL at his deflection onto the bad guys face!

Why do I get a dirty vibe from "deflection onto the bad guys face?"

 

[sfa]

^ haha! Dirty boy!

grrrr the Batman skins pack hasn't been released in Europe yet on PSN. No confirmed date of when they will be either - the best estimate we have right now is 'before the end of the year'. Was looking foward to those too.
