Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition

Seeing as this is one of the more popular Wii U games amongst forumites right now, it would make sense if we had a topic about it.

I still haven't played my copy, or even unsealed it.

Stuart T. Great! You really should make a start on it.

As luck would have it, I finished the main campaign this afternoon. What a joy it's been, from start to finish (well, maybe not 'start', when I didn't fully appreciate the amazing nature of the combat system). My only complaint is that it seemed a bit short but then there's far more to this game than the storyline!

Yup, definitely more to it than the story any time I put it on I seem to get lost in trying to figure out how to get the riddler trophies.

My full Sunday name? On a Sunday?

I really must get on with it, but all my spare-spare time seems to be soaked up with this place at the moment.



I'm glad you chaps have enjoyed it, at any rate. Two solid endorsements further adds to my desire to give it a go.

The Batman games are two of the best "new" games in the last 10 years or so, brilliant stuff.

I've clocked just under 40 hours on this & I still have 50 riddler trophies/challenges to complete, then there is the DLC & challenge maps to do.

It really is brilliant stuff.

Wow, I forgot that there was a topic dedicated to this! It's an amazing experience and I urge anyone who's not played it on another console to pick it up for the Wii U. Highly recommended indeed!

I started this this afternoon. Goodness! There's quite a lot to take in, isn't there? All those gadgets!

I thoroughly enjoyed saving the doctor from the Joker's goons, though. Sweeping around the rafters, picking each armed thug off one by one was tense, satisfying stuff.

These sequences are easily the highlight, all the way through the game. They really made me feel like Batman and were quite unlike anything else I tend to play.

Good to hear you're enjoying it Stu, bring on Origins/blackgate.

I'd just made it to the point where you pilot Catwoman (oo-er!) before I had to pack in for the day. I found her agility refreshing.

Yes, I enjoyed my time as Catwoman's bottom as well (but not for that reason ). Batman was like a wrecking ball but Catwoman was like a whip - the contrast was well-judged. You know, I really should get round to the Harley Quinn content...

That content disappointingly short :/

Bought this yesterday, as it was cheap and not sure what console to get origins on as it's out late Oct and my ps3 going to help fund ps4. I might not of done it in time, so wanted to see how this one handled seeing reviews etc said it was glitchy. I've only done harley's dlc which i thought was quite robust took me 2hrs, i did find it a bit choppy & some screen-tearing but nothing that effected the overall experience and with more time in development and launching at the same time origins should be good on wiiu.
