Word on the street is, the developers of Iron Man 2 are getting serious, and actually want their game to be really good. Will it? Well I won't hold my breath, but Wolverine is an example of a tie in game that had a lot of effort put into it and came out good.Keane Ng said:
OT: While this is a pretty pointless record, I finally got round to playing the demo, and I will say I am rather impressed. Dunno why everyone was harping on about the graphics though, I liked the attention to detail on certain things, but that's about it.
AA is basically every great 3rd person game from the past 2-3 years rolled into one, and made even more awesome because YOU ARE BATMAN. Assassin's Creed as Batman? Check. Splinter Cell as Batman? Yup. MGS4 as Batman? Oh baby, yes indeedy! There's even some LBP style platforming for a few moments here and there.
This game deserves the same level of acclaim for faithful adaptation that Christopher Nolan received for The Dark Knight. It got everything most important so right.

Guinness World Records fail to impress me since the vast majority of them are more or less pointless. Including this one. An award for critical acclaim just seems silly. Like a "longest time spent standing on one's head" award. Or "biggest pie." Is there an award for critical acclaim of a movie franchise?
I do love the game, though. It's fun.

I don't get all the praise, it's far from perfect. A metric ton of ragdoll glitches, awful hit detection, crap lip syncing. Even the gameplay is artificially lengthened by making you walk over Arkham Island.
It's still pretty good as a game though, 7/10. Does anyone agree this game needs patches fast?

Nincompoop, I'm not sure you and my friend have been properly introduced. This is my good chum Sarcasm.Nincompoop said:
I've been playing it nonstop and I haven't found anything of the above you mentioned. The lip syncing, while not perfect, is something you barely notice unless you're nitpicking. And Arkham Island is fun to explore if you're doing all the Riddler challenges and trophies.sirdanrhodes said:
I'm sure we have, but I'm not good with faces, so I often don't notice it's Sarcasm right away.SomeBritishDude said:
I wanted to buy it before, and still do.scifidownbeat said:
So of course everyone else also wants it
How can you use those 2 words in the same sentence? It worries me who's judging games there.
I think batman earned this title it immersed me in it enough that I had reason to collect all the collectibles for their stories.
