yeah .
How'd you do it? Mine feels glued on. There's no give at all.
I completed the game. Enjoyed it for the most part, but there were a couple of crappy gameplay choices toward the end that pulled the experience down for me (
). Story was an absolute mess too. Is that what superhero comics are like these days?
Still, great game for the most part. Dying during the
fight made up for alot of its shortcomings :lol
Croc section and the final boss fight

Croc's lair was alright, but it dragged. Should have only had to
I liked how it concluded though.
collect like 3 samples instead of 6.

Ok, i've completed the game and done 239 of Riddlers 240 challenges - last one left, destroy 20 Joker Teeth in the Arkham Mansion. One problem, I can't find any - do they respawn at all? Because i've walked every inch of the place and there isn't a single set anywhere to be found - please tell me I don't have to start all over just because of 3 freaking Joker Teeth

Missing teeth location in Mansion, most of the time it's the ones located here :
Warden's office, look up for a balcony you can grapple onto
I couldn't find this until I turned my speakers up so I could hear the teeth chattering clearly.

I just completed the Riddler's riddles and challenges. Strangely I almost enjoyed the riddles more than the actual game itself; the riddles are nice touches to the Batman universe and show the developer's appreciation of the Batman characters. Going through them make me appreciate the game design much, much more.
As with the teeth, I don't know if anybody has the similar experience, but mine was that the game was pretty much set up to help you get those. What I mean is you always start with one or two as you are going around the area searching for trophies or answers, and everytime you solve something and you go through a different door (often the logical next destination), the teeth are there for you to knock out. Realizing this lessened my anxiety much, much more.
This game actually reminds me of Batman Begins---first try and very focused in terms of what it tries to accomplish. If there is a sequel, please be like the Dark Knight---escalation, bigger and badder in terms of everything!

Sprayed explosive gel underneath a gargoyal. Waited for a goon to come by. Did a inverted takedown. Used him as the bait to attract the other goons. They all gather beneath him. Trigger the explosive gel. Cum in my pants. Happy. ^.^
Beat it yesterday. Went from feeling pretty 'meh' about it to absolutely loving it. I was scoffing at all of you people claiming GOTY last week, but I'm jumping on that bandwagon now. It's at least a top contender.
The challenge rooms aren't shit either. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a timesink there. I can see the DLC being pretty awesome if they handle it correctly.
As far as the teeth go, you have to get 20 in every building? I thought my game was borked until I read the last couple pages here. I though the counter kept re-setting, but it makes sense now.

I finished the main story earlier today. Now just going through for riddles and collectables, plus some fun in the challenge mode.
I really had fun with it. The gadgets were all well done, and the combat was really smooth. Perfecting a combo just feels really good in the game. Although one of the reasons the combat is so smooth is because there really aren't any enemy types in the game to throw it for a loop. It's basically thugs, big thugs, crazy thugs, skeleton thugs, and gun thugs. Not a minus on the game as that is the majority of what batman beats up. haha
I remember reading a comment about how the new equipment and major upgrades were handled.
Great example of the detail this game packs.
Challenges really are a blast and this might be a game I will 100%. Gonna at least give it a shot.

thought it was really clever using the batmobile, batcave, and especially batjet to give him new stuff.

PS:The fucking batjet flies through a wall just to drop off a gun? Really?
They're just getting ahead of themselves. The inevitable gotham city based sequel should make good use of the vehicles.

Anyone else see today's Penny Arcade? :lol
Found the last Joker teeth for Arkham West I needed.
Spoilers, for people that want to find them themselves, obviously.
When they mean "Arkham West/East" they mean (all the way over the gates blocking the path to the end of the door. My dumb ass figured the "Arkham East" popping up meant I was in East and the teeth wouldn't count. Nope, they do. Thank god! Now I just have Arkham East and the areas on the East End of the island to finish and I have the Riddler's stuff done! w00t. :lol

Is there any way to see the top scores for a challenge map once you've uploaded yours? All I seem to be able to do is see the people around me, and my friends.
And how the hell are people getting 20-40 seconds on the predator maps? That's crazy talk!

OMG I am such an idiot, it never occured to me to use the line shot to get across the room quickly. Maybe with something that fast it may work. As for breaking the glass, after you explode the three bombs someone should notice the body in the room with the glass, just do it on him.
How did this awesome game escape my attention?
Saw a friend playing the demo on Live the other night. Decided to try it myself.
ZOMG. Opening scene with the rain on the statues, I'm thinking, "this looks good." By the end of the intro, I know this is something special. Combat begins; I'm falling in love.
By the time Harley Quinn made her first curvaceous appearance, I was talking out loud to myself. "This is SO bought."
I hastened through the rest of the demo so I could run out and buy this game.
Played for several hours yesterday, and so far, I'm enjoying this as much as Bioshock and the old Riddick. I'm even getting a bit of a Manhunt vibe from the constant Joker transmissions and the gritty atmosphere.
So far, this is my favorite game this year, without question!

Seems like a good point for having four slots to me?

I just had the two
... I love this game, but the lack of some sort of co-op/multiplayer is a shame. Also since they've obviously already got the
character model, I'm guessing it'll be a download for the challenge rooms.
dreams with Scarecrow, my God that was awesome! Especially the second one with child Bruce
Scarecrow (in the dreams batman turns into the model several times)

For all the bitching about
I thought that segment was different enough, not very long, and unique. I liked it. Don't get the complaints about it going on too long. So five minutes is too long? Geesus people.

:lol My brother and I had a good laugh at that part. It was so over the top and completely unnecessary.
At first I thought Batman was gonna do something cool with the Batwing, but no, it just spits out this little pod thats holding the zip line gun.

But it doesn't drag on THAT long. I mean if it was a 15-20 minunte segment, sure, that would suck. But your telling me a 5 minute segment needs to be mixed up? It was like 5 minutes long... maybe a few minutes longer but really.. are you telling me you need max stimulation in a 5 minunte time span? Just seems a.d.d. like. It was a unique idea, that happens once, and then its over, but hey whatever floats your boat.

Did anyone elses intro have random odd pauses while the building was being panned, up until batmans car comes driving by? It was almost like clockwork...while it was playing, the video would pause every 5-6 seconds or so, then resume.
Ive had no issues at all in the 8 hours or so playing the actual game, but i was wondering if anyone else saw what i did....

Edit: Also, why in the feck am I not able to access these supposed movies from the XMB? Is it CE only? Not available in the UK?
