it reminded me of Assassin's Creed where you'll be surrounded by bad guys while they all take turns to attack you one by one, way too easy and uninteresting.

I think that just a problem most fighting games suffer from. If they all attacked you at once, it would too overwhelming and the fighting mechanics would end up being all button mashy.
 
Just bought a 360 controller so I can play this on the pc. I hooked up my rig to my tv and this game looks amazing maxed out. Runs well too.

This game is giving me that same "awesome gaming experience" Deadspace gave me last year. Everything about the game seems really polished. Not 100% too keen on the way the characters look. They all look way too stocky.

Might just be my game of the year.
 
I'm going to call it early, but I can see AA being my game of the year or the game of the year.

MW2 will no doubt sell the most and will likely get GOTY, but AA is 2009's Deadspace.
 
I think they could've added a vehicle section. Seems a shame since the batmobile has so much potential to be used in a video game. Hopefuly in the next game they include vehicles. Even if its just to break up the gameplay abit.
 
Just finished this last night. Was really bummed out with the joker fighter. Kept thinking to myself "this can't be the end boss fight." It was just another henchman brawl, you didn't even fight the joker. I felt it ended way to quickly. Great game, poor bad terrible ending.

I really liked the henchman waiting at the joker entrance though and lining up for me, that was cool. :D

8.5/10

I hope you beat up all the henchmen lined up outside for your party pooper trophy? :)

I did a few bat poses(Y button) for them first as they seemed pretty happy to see me then I planted gel along the corridor and blew them all up. Idiots just stood there and watched.

To be exact it's the bit before the actually Joker battle, the one with the two Titans and constant wave of thugs :(

Poison Ivy was easy peasy :p

The Titans are easy. Just get on their back and they do all the work for you. I didn't even bother fighting off all the thugs.
