Ive decided to trade this in tomorrow. Ive completed the game twice upto the point of needing all the riddler trophies, it has the best free flow of the franchise but I just cant put my finger on it. The story was predictable and boring, Gotham was really boring. I thought we would have all of gotham but we really have bland islands that were really unmemorable. There was no architecture which made you go 'wow'. They make a quarter of Gotham up Considering you see Arkham City and Arkham Asylum in the distance It was very disappointing. The DLC sucks massively. Arkham City I put custom soundtracks on my PS3; selection of Zimmer and BTAS tracks in the background, BTAS or Year One suit and AC was perfect. AK its behind a paywall. I was dying for the Batmobile but in the end I hated it. I hated the tank fighting. A few times wouldve been great, but I want to zoom to crime scenes, work things out in the Batmobile linked to the Batcomputer.
The most prevelant childhood memories of Batman is him using the BTAS Batmobile talking to alfred, both using the batcomputer to figure something out and of Batman Returns; THAT scene. The batmobile jet engine slowly roaring to a stop. Watching Penguin. Patrolling Gotham. Snow crunching under the tyres. The haunting soundtrack. Talking to Alfred about something not being right with that Penguin character. The piercing eyes Keaton gives out the corner of the Cowl.
AK failed to capture any of that. It failed with the Batmobile massively.
I dare say I much prefered Origins to this game. Hamill again saves the day; he was the best part of the game
