Absolutely, he's a great voice actor, but too recognizable more often than not. Though, if it was Steve Blum who was in the game as much as Nolan North, I think I'd refund the game lol. :/

Ah, that would explain why then. That's cool though, I hope he's in the next game more prominently. He's a creepy, but interesting character.

Oh gawd, yes! I remember when the Catwoman gameplay was being first show some months back, and one of the first voices I heard was Steve Blum. -_- Luckily, I haven't played the Catwoman stuff, due to the fact that I no longer have xbox live. I did hear him though as one of the one armed boss' I think? Either way, I know who I'd rather have out of Nolan North and Steve Blum, as tedious as Nolans voice can be.
Steve Blums voice drives me nuts. -_-
Man i liked playing as Catwoman but sometimes her climb move does not work at all. It really pissed me off during the last fight. Sometimes you can be looking directly at a gargoyle and it wont give you the prompt to climb to it and other times you can reach it from across the room. That got me killed more than i should.

I really tore through the game last night. Played for hours. Ended up getting all of the Riddler trophies and challenges, and destroying all the breakable objects.
I just need to get all of the Catwoman trophies and then I'll move on to the challenge rooms and New Game +.
This game is great. My original plan was to play it to death and trade it in for Uncharted, but I don't think I can do it. I want to hold on to this one, especially with DLC on the way.
Took down the Riddler, and got all of Catwoman's loot.

Just finished the game, I'm doing some of the ending side missions now and I have to say this is better than AA. The focused feel of the first was nice and AC is very overwhelming at first but once it settles in it's a blast.
+The combat is fantastic, fluid animations and can be as varied as you want it to be.
+Boss battles are improved ten fold. They are all unique and has the theme of the villain your fighting instead of fighting a variation of the same person repeatedly like in AA. My favorite was the
fight.
+Great soundtrack, I still need to find the theme that played during the room in the museum.
-Should have gradually opened the world up instead of having nearly all activities available from the start.

Sickle dude is really grinding my gears.
Guess I should just enact my Titan guy strategy of knockin him out da club ASAP and then go for err body else.

Using the REC on him can provide some funny moments, assuming he's surrounded by lots of other goons. I usually beat him down (Batman's animation is lightning fast, which helps) and whenever he's about to attack, I just vault over him, and continue the beatdown. It's fun. You could also try freezing him, or something.Buckethead said:

Can you use the NOS code for challenge rooms? If not, I think I might just give mine away.

Really REALLY impressed by how good the writing is... its intense how much effort Rocksteady has put into this story... and how well directed it is!
Thus far into this gen, I need to say its probably wipeing the floor with about 95% of all the games out there on the market.
Oh and the gameplay is super neato

Personal opinion... also I edited my post kind of. But it does appeal to me.
Its not a novel or a deep avantgarde movie, but for videogames, it holds to the top imo.
God damn, I'm rank 15 on the Prison Riot (Extreme) map on my first shot...got 148,000. Is there any like shock and awe in AC? I'm still missing 4, but this is the "last" one, and was surprisingly easy to get 3 stars on, let alone getting over triple the amount I needed.
Combat is still fun as hell of course, but I remember it being a lot harder to meet the points in AA. Predator challenges should be good though, haven't done them yet but they had a lot of variation before, and AC had more enemy types that weren't used much in campaign(

I really dug the story on the whole. No one's gonna argue its high art, but as far as Batman art goes, it's pretty lovable IMO.

I feel the same way, I kept having this feeling like I was playing a 2 part episode of Batman TAS. I think the game has the feeling of the show to it and that also made me really enjoy the game and story. Though I did feel that AA had a better cohesive story, I thought this game was great and the sense of being batman was greater. Can't wait for Nightwing pack, is there any other playable characters other than him and robin coming in DLC?

Well... the campaign content seems about maybe an hour or 2 depending on how fast you work your way through each part, but there are catwoman specific trophies to collect too which will likely add a few hours. I thought the content was decent personally... There is a familiarity to catwoman's moves, but also she feels unique.

Me neither until The force unleashed 2, I bought a "maul Killer" skin from ebay and it needed a US account since it was US only. So i made one, the DLC gets locked to my console and hey presto it worked.Doomrider said:

Do you know if and when they'll release for the general public all the skins and the Robin DLC?

It's not BAD, but it's not worth paying money for. I was happy to play it as a little aside, but I personally would not have paid money to play as her. Personally, I would save my money and get the Nightwing DLC when it comes out.SoulPlaya said:

For anyone wondering, UK accounts can redeem Batman Beyond codes.
