Great reviews guys!!
I will say on Brizz's review about the lock picking...I found it simple with the keyboard mouse combo and never got hung up on any locks!
I just followed the little waves on the monitor

I will say that I tried the game with both keyboard/mouse and Xbox 360 controller and found it perfectly playable with either. I did end up prefering the controller though because of the feedback.
I loved this game. Found it VERY easy with PC controls. I was glued to it! Hands down one of the best, if not even the best game of the year. I loved the Riddler's Challenges. The cameos of all the other who's who of Gotham's villains was also a plus. Can't rate this game High enough. Inverted takedown for the win 
I love this game on PS3. It looks so so so nice.
For me everything was perfect about it.
The voice acting was top notch. The graphics were really good, the controls were perfect, the story was great, the level design was great.
It's my favorite game of the year for sure. 10/10

Good review. I just recently bought Batman AA and now it's one of my favorite games. I used the keyboard controls the whole time and didn't have too many problems, but I think stringing combos together would've been easier with a 360 controller.
I agree with all points made as well as Hal and Brizz's reviews. Bought it for ps3 as well and I must say it was a very enjoyable experience. The combat challenges can bite my ass but everything else was top notch :tup:
Nice read, both of you. Havent played it yet, but it sure sounds like a good PC title. Something rare nowadays, sadly.
It's doable, but it takes some getting used to. Plus, not having the vibration feedback really changes how those work. If you can, try it with the controller and see which you think is better. I'm really interested to know if other people felt the same way.[NBK]Rattman;2386784 said:
Unfortunately keyboard and mouse are the only way for me...i hate controllers unless its a fighting game or racing!!
I don't like controllers for games that i have to use one stick to move and the other to look...I find myself looking at either the floor or the ceiling all the time....lol
Kinda tacked that on right thar.
nooooooooooo

Good review though. This is definitely THE Batman game.
This is defnitely *the* superhero/adventure-game.
Although I'd have to say that some of the boss-fights/scenarios could have been better/more fun
otoh ... the few encounters with you-know-who really do fit the character especially the intro-sequence to the last one.

(especially poison ivy and killer croc)
While the Poison Ivy fight was nothing more than the cliche "boss on a ledge plus annoying baddies" it at least was a little different than the others. I would have liked to have actually fought Croc instead of run from him, but it, again, was a change of pace without feeling forced.
The other to which you're refering I'm going to assume is Scarecrow and those were brilliant (if a little easy).

Still, I agree with your overall point.
The game's really great. I really wished they would give us a level editor of some kind so we can make our own challenges and share them with the community.
Personally, I have done the game, and i find it extremely irritating that you can't simply unlock the other challenges by completing the earlier ones, but rather, wasting your time finding clue in the game! Why? I just want to play the challenges!
Any kind of INI trick avail for that? Trainers seem to only give the usual "infinite this-that" crap. I just wish to have all the challenges available.
