Thought I'd throw up another review that a fellow colleague of mine put up on the net. I looked through the last 4 pages and didn't see it mentioned, so here we go

Shiiiit. I'm declaring it the best without even seeing the others.
It's hard to fathom, but despite how hyped I was for the game, it has most definitely met my expectations and more.

Update on the armored batsuit: challenge mode ONLY. You can't use it in the story mode.
After you beat the game you can load up your save to before you fight the final boss. However, no enemies are present so the only thing you can do is collect the missing trophies/riddles. Lame.

I caved and cancelled my amazon order. At least I won't be tired to work on Wed. Looks like there are a lot of indie stores in the Los Angeles area that are breaking the street date.

That's unfortunate. :/Dave1988 said:Looks like it. I'm bummed that there's no NG+. There's little to no incentive to go back to the Story Mode after you clear it
Luckily the riddler stuff isn't *that* hard to find/accomplish since it's laid out for ya.
But still.. would have loved to start over keeping a few of the upgrades.

Aaaaaand there it is. I figured this was just too much great news for there not to be a draw back somewhere. This is one of those games that's perfect for a NG+, and I'm more than disappointed that there seems to be no option for that. Ahhhh well. Still hyped for it, but might wait for a deal, or trade ins later this year instead of a day 1 $60 purchase.

Trust me, I really want to buy this, but I can't justify a full price right now if I'm not guaranteed replay value, or a 25+ hour campaign.
After playing this game for about an hour today..I'm in love. It makes me not even want to bother with any other comic book movie. More Companies need to do Comic Book and movie tie ins like this..of course with movie tie ins they don't have as much time to work on it.
Love it..not perfect, but still good and i am playing it on hard right now.

Wait does that mean they packed in a special collector's edition just for gamestop? Or does that mean the collector's edition doesn't have it?

Each riddle has a "tile" in the Riddler's Challenge menu... so you'll always know which ones you're missing.Minamu said:

I wish I had awesome mom and pop stores in my area selling it early. Damn yous!
But playing through Dead Space on Extra Pain in the Ass difficulty which is fun.

Found an inconsistency with the AI. I'll spoiler it as it kinda ruined the immersion for me.
Apparently while the armed goons can lose track of you, the unarmed ones don't. I was in the mansion room with like 10 unarmed goons and tried to pick them off one by one. I took out one silently and swung back up to the ceiling but then they were all immediately alerted and so I had 9 goons follow me to every gargoyle I swung to.
After thinking more about it, I'm not all that upset about lack of NG+. I mean, we know it has a somewhat of a Metroidvania progression system, and for a game like this starting off the game with everything would probably lead to too much sequence breaking. My real problem is that you can't do Single Player with the armored batsuit. That is lame as hell. And I guess that crushes any hopes of having DLC costume packs for the main campaign as well. After all, if the unlockable costume that is already ON THE FUCKING DISC can't be used in anything other than challenge maps, I doubt any DLC would be compatible either.

NG+ in BAA could be solved in this way: You keep all your upgrades but you have to gather all the equipment once more. The main reason for why I wanted for Bats to have a NG+ is that I don't want to have to collect all the trophies/riddles every time I want to replay the story campaing.
I guess the reason why thearmored Batsuit is unavailable in the campaign is beacuse all the cutscenes are not in real time. It would look stupid running around in the armored suit only to have it change back to the normal one during cutscenes.

Dave1988 said:
Yeah, likewise. I know they couldn't give us all our equipment back cause that would mess with the flow of the game, but keeping upgrades like Inverted Takedown wouldn't have hurt anyone. Well.. except the badguys of course.
Yeah I suppose, but didn't stop RE4 from doing it. Granted, it looked really silly at times.

That was only in the PS2 version (and PC because it was a straight PS2 port), the NGC version of RE4 was all real time. It pisses me off that even though we have long since entered the next generation of consoles some devs still rely on prerendered cutscenes. It's only half bad when a game does not feature additional attire but when a game that does have bonus costumes does that it really strikes a nerve.
