    It'll be very similar to the controls for Batman: Arkham Asylum. Do yourself a favor and play it...

    I love how the Batman franchise from the movie to the video games has really redefined what comics can and should be doing in various forms. There is no doubt denying the impact Nolan's series has had on the comic book genre and Arkham Asylum really changed how the video game genre will be played and looked at. I just find it interesting that one single franchise could have such an impact in multiple mediums.

    Gameplay wise, I'd compare it to God of War. Obviously, the stories are nothing alike, but both games use a similar fighting method, using a lot of different combos and weapons. AA's map was a bit larger than GoW's, and you get free roam abilities. You don't necessarily have to stick to the story line. You can go off and explore, and pick up the story later on. They actually encouraged it with all of the Riddler trophies. It's a great game. The storyline takes about 6-7 hours, at least I think that's how long it took me. If you're set on solving on the riddles, it will take longer. I'd recommend that you rent it for a week if you're going to play the 2nd one.

    Actually in the game he wears the correct color of black as a cape. Then gray for the rest of the suit.

    I honestly don't know how you can say that the cape isn't black:

    The first one is pretty solid. I honestly wasn't to impressed at first it seemed to start off slow but I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm not too far in at this point pretty much just got to the batcave and then made my way to the surface after that,

    I should probably finish Asylum at some point. I have a problem where, unless I play a game at launch, I basically always follow guides to 100% it. It's a compulsion: any game older than a month, I need to 100%, and can't just do a regular playthrough. And if you know anything about Asylum, you know that it's a bitch-and-a-half to 100%. If anyone's familiar with xbox360achievements.org, most guides there have it at an 8/10, which is a pretty face-stabby score. So I think I played for about 12 hours or so and stopped, haven't picked it back up.

    I usually run through games once on my own and if they are good enough where I still want to play them I will go that route after I beat it.

    I was 98% done with Arkham. One thing I didn't do was beat all the guards before the final boss. I had every riddler trophy though, and that was a bitch.

    You have to go back and get some of the trophies right??? It didn't seem like I could get to some of them yet. Seemed like I was missing the right gadgets or upgrades.

    yeah, you definitely need all the upgrades on the Cryptographic Sequencer to get some of the riddles.

    Just got to the point where I got this earlier. I don't have all the upgrades on it though. I just saved those two guys hanging over the water. Gotta find Harley now.
