The game most definitely is a button masher.

Pretty much every non-boss fight is a group of enemies you pretty much just have to cycle from one to another hitting. Sure that a few extras thrown in like the guys with electricity rods you have to jump over, but for the most part combat is just spam buttons while randomly moving back and forth between enemies.

The stealth stuff is the most disappointing. You barely even have to try to sneak up on enemies. You pretty much just walk up to all of them from behind and hit triangle.

Bosses are fairly standard and unremarkable.

Lots of collecting fills out the rest of the game.

The actual graphics engine is woefully outdated. But it does have very nice artwork and shots - "batman standing in silhouette against dreary nighttime skyline with giant moon overhead"

Found myself pretty much just plodding through the game just to finish it. The constant repeating of the Joker broadcasts really got annoying by about 1/3 of the way through the game.

Oh man. I'm a comic fan in my own right. So many awesome labels they could use. Currently back logging my collection with Battle for the cowl and finishing up my Knightfall stuff. I would kill for some Manbat or Azrael stuff. Hush would make an amazing character. I like the batman feel. I think too much "over the top" Heroes makes for a difficult game like Superman or Green lantern. Also how would you be able to use green lantern... A set few things to shape with his ring? I don't like it. Batman however is just awesome. My ONLY gripe about the game is I felt like I had my Detective mode on 80+% of the time.The atmosphere of the game. The characters. The story of AA were all top notch and the size was great as well. I loved the game start to fin. Except the last boss... Kinda... I dunno... i guess thats 2 things but I would love some nightwing stuff now =D

comic con Baltimore here I come.

"Basic enemy juggling. Braindead and unrewarding."

So I take it you got the x 40 and complete every move in one combo trophies no problem then?

"Batmans enemies are set up in a way that you CAN'T Button Mash or else you will get your ass handed to you, what game were you playing?"

You can't possibly suck that bad that.

Group of enemies.

You hit one. Move the left stick towards a different enemy. Hit again. Occasionally hit counter. Later on you have to jump over the electric prod guys. Repeat until they all have dropped.

Basic enemy juggling. Braindead and unrewarding.

Are you guys playing on HARD or Easy mode because I'm taking a guess and saying Easy Lol.

Batman's conbat, which I loved, can be summarized in ONE sentence.....easy to play HARD to master...if you try some of the hard challenge rooms you have to get 50k...that's crazy

LOL!

This like the responses you get from the little kiddies who play WoW when people talk about how dumbed down Blizzard made the game to appeal to the mass market and they start crying that WoW is 'hardcore'.

Anyone notice Batman's right arm is larger than his left in this game? Just a fun fact.

Then don't come in here talking crap about a game when you play it on EZ mode and ask for a challenge ya door knob Jesus.

-1 for sub-par intelligence.

LOL! You thought you were badazz playing an easy game like Batman AA on 'hard mode'

Wow dude, you're Elite!

And you're talking about challenge when you're playing on Easy difficulty, fall down the stupid tree and hit every branch until you struck your head on the ground or what.
