after reading suislides review, i thought i should try this game and well its a mix bag of surprises. dont get me wrong this is a cool game and kicks ass, just that sometimes you get your ass kicked too because of the immense treasure chest of bugs. fucking read it right, this game is full of bugs and keeps crashing like a drunk driver riding a 2cycle on a tightrope over the twin peaks of hildas-matilda-shit-buildas boobs
------------
so i installed the game from direct2drive as i got if for 25$ which is well within my pc game price rule. first forecast of despair came in when i realized this is a GFWL game :(((( oh shit fuck me fuck fuck...noted 2nd time. anyways i tried to be optimistic and then let it do the thing. and precisely from the time i installed the game, i had to wait for 45 mins to actually play the game lol. and during that moment you just keep looking at the menu which shows updating (force update) or do whatever you do best..yeah take the finger off you butts cause the keyb is going to stink idiots.
So finally after 50mins i launched the game and it throws you into a trailer+in game interactive scene till for about 2+ mins where you have to keep pressed the front key or so till you meet gordon in intensive care. At that moment a cutscene kicks in and BAM!! I had my first batman aa crash experience, a small taste for what was to come in plenty :)
I tried like 6-7 times with different settings, but it always crashed. So after 45mins....total running time 50+45 mins i was able to get it running again. how? by disabling physx. thats right a title that is supposed to use physx, but you cannot use it because it crashes. so if you paid a full $50 for this, the you are the biggest fucking idiot on the planet whichever one you reside on.
And these crashes will happen again during a boss levels and when it does you will need to restart the game which takes a shitty long time, longer than the time it takes your shit to accelerate from you constipated anus. you get to see the famous ingame videos of "eidos", "WB", "Rocksteady", "unreal engine", "Nvidia the way its meant to be played" over and over again and then to top it all the intrusive GFWL logon screen. At this point i wanted to grab some of the eidos managers and hangem upside down the gargoyle batman style. if only i could i surely WOULD
besides all these pleasantries, the controls buttfuck you, esp during the boss fights. yes, yet again this game is a case where the controls are clearly designed consoles in mind. i dont understand how the fuck do they release it for the pc when you have clunky movements during boss fights. did the testers even playtest it for the pc, hail fucking no! so what should be done to them? please come up with creative answers. The best answer will get a free trip to Jupiter or your fav planet.
anyways, if you managed to get by all this, its is indeed a great game, which i finished btw. can you?

Graphics esp are top notch. you can run it full with 4x aa on a i7 920/gtx 285 at {1680 x whatever goes here}. sound, voice are professionally done too. Sometimes i felt that the joker talks a lot and needs to stfu. but at times he is funny too. harley's talk makes me horney and ivy is a hot slut. the music is ok...passes by.
------------
Gameplay wise its a different type shooter. Not the usual run and gun type, its fun. you cant kill, but only knock em out (batman's moral policy). the combat system for the thugs is excellent and is great fun bashing the shit outta them. the combat system is unlike anything i have seen for an fps. Might you have the slightest thought to take up martial arts lessons after this, i will strongly recommend you not to do so. Or you could if you want to get your ass kicked in real life HD. Movement and jump keys during the boss fights suck big time and irritate the hell outta you. make you want to immediately torture the people responsible for this. And oh yeah you get some cool gadgets like the batclaw, the line launcher, batarang to use in different creative ways and it pretty enjoyable just like fleshlight. as you knock out the thugs unconcious, collect trophies, do other detective work you get points which can be used to upgrade your abilities, making you a tough badass guy like you are in real life.
------------
story is a piece of shit and makes no sense at all, but then its a comic book story, retarded and only meant for small kids, not for geniuses like us here. if you start to question - how and why? you may grab a hot plate and give the script writer a tight slap from the bottom end. BANG 5X combo! (bats flying around)
------------
Master's conclusion is that, while this is a great game to play, it is plagued by bugs which eidos doesnt seem to be taking any initiative in fixing. it is def a rushed title on the PC. After all eidos got the sales target and they have made grand nuttsack bags of money outta it, so fuck you all piece of shit pc gamers is their motto. This should be a lesson not to buy any new game for atleast 6 months. But who listens to Masta Leep's sound advice?
~kudos to the devs and my warmest poo to eidos~

You are losing memory real fast old man, here's when you noted it for the first time. Better buy your games in the shops and forego D2D / Steam / other download stores next time. And wasn't this GFWL-shit mentioned in the description on D2D? Either way someone here (not me of course) would consider you 'dumb' because of that.
Good thing you bought it though because it's a nice review, if you'd submitted it I would have rated it 5 stars (and you would have to chase the groupies from your doorstep like Suislide).

yeah i must be getting old.
abt submitting, i see so point in submitting my quality reviews on a site that has no interest in upgrading itself. i mean if you cant be bothered to upgrade the ui then what you have here more than enough.
i got the ui files from the monkey character who was reluctant to give it in the first place. i worked on it and sent him a notification. after that he never responded back or showed any interest. so why bother?

M0nkey stated a while back that people always complain bout him not being involved(berzeker linky plx).maybe he's still busy with www.plasticlsd.com
I thought the game could've been so much better. ie. the 'dodge' button during fights was a little moody, and stealth amounted to just hiding on a gargoyle and taking them out one at a time.
