5 out of 5 eggsWell done

Pros: Storyline is well written...graphics are beautiful...gadgets are fun. I never got tired of the combat...not even in the unlockable bruhaha challenges. Characters and boss battles were all unique. I loved this game>>top 10 on my list.

Cons: Games for Windows took forever to install.

Other Thoughts: I'm not a huge DC/Marvel fan but this is the best super hero game I've ever played. Game was very entertaining and while I'll never forget Heath Ledger's performance in "The Dark Knight", I'd have no problem seeing this version of the Joker in the next movie.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Great storyline in the game that made it interesting. The fighting controls were a lot of fun, as were the usage of all the bat gadgets. Graphics were good -- not great, but good, and everything was butter smooth on my rig (see "other thoughts"). DRM -- I didn't like that I had to sign in to Windows Live initially to launch my game, but no online or limited activations, internet connection not required to play the single player game. These are the kinds of games I will buy -- none of that dirty stuff Ubisoft is doing with Assassin's Creed 2.

Loved Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy...I'm married and all, but not dead, so I really enjoyed looking at those two. Love when developers put really hot women into games. :D

Cons: I think it would've been fun if you'd had to fight more of the punks/criminals and less of the problem/puzzle solving. I had the most fun when fighting the really big guys with a ton of the smaller minion guys at the same time.

Other Thoughts: Echoing from my listed "Pros" I thought the graphics were good -- as always playing on the PC is light years ahead of the consoles in terms of graphics -- playing in 1920x1200 with Anisotropic Filtering at 16x and all eye candy maxed out looked as good as it possibly good on my 28'' monitor.

Gaming Rig: MSI K9A2 Platinum, Phenom II 955 X4, ATI Radeon 4890 1GB Crossfire, 4GB DDR2.

3 out of 5 eggsNot what I expected

Pros: Good graphics

Cons: Game was too slow at the beginning and lost my interest. Controls were a bit clunky but I might have gotten used to them.

Other Thoughts: This game seems to be loved by many. Maybe I wouldn't have been so critical if there weren't so many better games to choose from at the time. I gave it a couple hours of play before I moved onto other, better games.
If you haven't played Mass Effect or ME2 yet, CoD4 MW or MW2, SW Force Unleashed, Borderlands, etc... then why play this one anyway? There are much better games out there. Play this one when you have no real good games left to play.

4 out of 5 eggsGraphics are nice, gameplay is sometimes tedious

Pros: Wonderful graphics, great little gadgets for the Bat to use as he scales up in xp pts. Fun to move from bldg to bldg with grapple gun and learn to utilize this in exploring, evading shooting. If you like to challenge someone you can do this with the online prog that Microsoft is using in alot of these new games-forget name now but you must create a gamer id to use this game even if you dont plan on going online and challenging others or anything...

Cons: My review title talks about tedious situations in-game. Maybe im just new to action games but it does get tedious when you are up against thugs shooting the helloutta ya' and all you can do is grapple around gargoyles and throw a batamaran. Not to give it away...but ive been stuck in one challenge now for some time and im playing on Normal! Cant say much else on the neg side xcpt maybe the forced creation of usage of that Microsoft gaming, online programming in this game but many would prob see that as a plus. It feels a little console like. Joker and the female who keeps ridiculing you after ea failure, again, tedious...especially after like 20 tries. Maybe i need to set this on Easy, LOL.

Other Thoughts: Lessen Jokers commentary which begins to sound like chatter in your head (but maybe they like that since youre in an asylum), chg the music up more...sounds like a broken piano sometimes, chg up entrances more-too many hatches you simply crouch down to climb in to and move through a maze of tunnels...the beginning seems like a repetition but in fairness, im still trying to get outta the gargoyled room w/the thugs and machine guns-how many times can you be machined gunned by 6 dudes?! I really enjoy RPG/Action, not a Shooter game player so this is why im probably not enjoying this part. Games using your brain and strategy are preferred. If it becomes more about shooting than thinking then you lose me quick. FarCry2 has a nice mix and good graphics, Bioshock, The Witcher-Enhanced (a real fav), you can save 50% on games by purchasing the previous version of the best games out there. Just punch names up on Eggs browser, avg $20.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome game

Pros: Great game. I normally don't like 3rd person adventure type games but this one really is something special.

Cons: Really not cons except that it has a very dark theme to it similar to the new batman movies. Not for anyone under age 18 imo.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks with ATI and nvidia

Pros: I own 2x 5870 HD in xfire and it plays this game just fine. I also added a 285 GTX for physx and I can play this game with all the physx eye candy to.

Finished this game like 8 times now lol. Plays flawless on ATI 5k series.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Own ATI and want the eye candy of physx?

Just add a nvidia GPU for physx. Its easy to do.

1 out of 5 eggsNot 4 ATI Card Owners

Pros: This is PC Gamer's Game of the Year.

Cons: Does not play well with others(ATI graphics processors).

Other Thoughts: You guys might as well quit dinging the reviewers giving low eggs because what they say is true. Even PC Gamer says so. And yes it is WB's fault. I don't own this game because geuss what? I just bought a 5850(awesome!). I'm just trying to Warn-a-Brother.

5 out of 5 eggsLOVE

Pros: Amazing Gameplay, Graphics, Action and innovative design

Cons: It ended :(

Other Thoughts: This is one of the best game I have ever played. I love this game so much and I can't wait till they release the next one. It's the only game I've ever played TWICE, once at the normal difficulty and once in hard. ANDI LOVE IT.

Have I mentioned how much I love it yet?

Graphics are amazing. The story is pretty cool, even if you aren't a big fan of Batman. The gameplay is very addicting.
