I'm not sure really. I do think it's overpriced for what you get. But for someone like me who's playing the game to death I'd say it's worth it.
I just canceled and went back in and my saves came back.
Better in just about every way. It's an absolutely incredible experience.
Asylum is a fantastic game and story but AC in terms of mechanics utterly shits on AA. I don't even want to think of going back to combat with AA after being spoiled with what they give you in AC.

I don't really get this? I just played through the game and your combat choices for the none-predator stuff is still going to be 99% critical strikes and specials, dodge, and the occasional bat cape if you want to do flawless combos. I 100%'d AA and my really only complaint with AC is how samey some stuff feels, especially the none-predator combat.
Disagree - the options after the cape can be useful like the beatdown, you can counter multiple enemies at once (most I've done so far at once is 4), the triple cape stun can help isolate certain enemies and essentially take them out of a fight for a long time until you want to deal with them later, and special move options like the weapon destroy or (especially for me) the multiple takedown of anyone on the ground are really nice. The multi takedown really really helps when fighting groups of 15+ and can help get that fight over really fast (get combo going, counter 4 guys at once to get them on the ground, then special move to take them out immediately). Can you do it without the additional stuff? Sure, it'll just take a long time - especially at harder difficulties.
Nevermind, I looked up Motioninjoy and that seems more suited for PS3 controllers specifically - and seem to do similar stuff that xb360ce does. You can try it out though.
Well, since they added more moves, they could add more enemy types that need specific counters, or they also added more easily accessible weapons during brawls (modifiers or otherwise). I really liked the extra variety in what I could do in combat. Also, the brawls are much larger in AC vs. AA.
Beatdown is probably the lamest thing added to the combat, enemies that required it I would always just use a takedown on them. The multi-enemy counter is alright I guess but it doesn't actually add anything to the combat. The new special move options are alright like you said.. but its just more special moves that you do after every set amount of critical strikes. I am on the warpath through the challenge maps right now and I can say it doesn't really feel like a new experience when it comes to the combat. I kinda feel like I am doing the same challenge maps from AA over again almost.
