I haven't got this yet, but the trailers told me that Rocksteady has shown the true power of the gamepad. I've played arkham aslylum on my Formerly-owned Xbox 360 and it was one of the best I've games I've played this year. I can't wait to get this one.
If I have one complaint it's complete lack of pro controller support. Gamepad use is okay (love everything BUT the remote controlled baterang which is just horrible, as for almost everything else you have option between button and touchpad) but the ability to play with pro controller would make this excellent...
Personally, I don't have a problem with the third-party ports having occasionally shonky framerates. This is brand new hardware and ported games. It could have - and arguably should have, looking at launch ports across consoles through history - be considerably worse. Considering that an iffy framerate seems to be the only problem with games ported to Wii U (and online elements of CoD Black Ops II, but Nintendo had the online locked up tight from developers for a while), it's a promising sign. Has the Wii U had a bad game yet? Asides the effortless shovelware entries (Game Party et al), third parties seem to be having a very comfortable time developing for Wii U. Now we just need to see those sales figures start rising
This game is boss. I don't see myself getting this anytime soon since I played the heck out of it whenever I was at my friend's house. I know it's "armored adition" but its still the same game. If the other versions were released when this came out, then I would definately get it.
Frame rate issues on the shiniest, newest console should be unacceptable. Especially, since the same game can be had without such issues on two other systems using hardware released over half a decade ago.
I would personally give the ps3 version (which I finished) a 9.9/10. Near perfection. Every video I've seen so far on Wii U version tells me THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE Version due to what the gamepad adds to an already stellar experience. So seeing a 8/10 after reading super positive things from the same reviewer is a bit puzzling to me. 8 imo is great but not to memorable. 9 however is Excellent and memorable.
This was easily my number 1 game that I wanted! I was really really disappointed back when the original Arkham came out for all other systems but Wii and same with it's sequel. Thankfully the Wii U has it.. I am also now hoping for a re-release of the first Arkham game on the Wii U. Hopefully they come out with a patch for the frame rate issues, but I really don't care too much about that.
Going to pass on this game even though its one of my current favorite games, but I have the GOTY edition on Xbox 360. Going to go with Assassins Creed III for my first Wii U non exclusive game. If you have never played this game though and are a Batman fan like me I highly recommend it.

Yes, it's a new console; it's early days. This means that developers don't properly know the hardware yet, so that usually means that launch games usually don't show the consoles full potential, or at least have small framerate issues like Batman here. Fully fantastic games that really push the hardware and impress everyone usually come later in the hardwares life cycle.
I keep reading this frame rate BS,, I have this for my PS3 and I got it for my Wii U plays the same I had the same frame rate issues on the PS3 version seems to me its a problem on the game makers part not the system and to me the Wii U version looks better and you don't have to pay for all the DLC that in itself is a really good deal., By the way, game is well deserving of a solid 9.5 out of 10..
This definitly deserves a 9/10 at a minimum. I got it for my launch title and it's absolutly fantastic. There is something I would like to touch on though that the review didn't mention. The gamepad has been utilised in other ways than the review talked about. It also was used for the gadgets controlls (most of them anyway) so for the majoraty of that it is simply gyro controlls for aiming (like looking around in the nintendo land park) and while this works and and does a great job with the motion aspect it's still a lot better to just aim using the anolog stick so it feels very throw away. The two gadgets that differ from this are the remote controll batarang (RCB) and the explosive gel. the RCB is conrolled with motion with the gamepad facing downwards and it works like a plane's contoller stick. I found it eaiser and more effcient to use an analog stick again and this one is also better turned off. The explosive gel uses the gamepads touch screen to allow you to tap where you placed the gel when you have the gel gadget up or where it is placed on the map when you have your sonar map up. This addition isn't used too much but is still a good addition and is the only gadget controll added to utilise the gamepad that actually feels worthwhile and not throw away. They also added motion controll for gliding but is better turned off and you just use an analog stick. (note, all of these motion controlls don't turn off analog controll when used, and they all can be turned off, exept the gel controlls which can't harm you)
I'm finishing this up on XBOX now, so I'm not about to get a WIIU for it. But I'll surely get it later when I have one and it's cheaper.
It may be knit picking since I also believe that the WIIU will eventually be far ahead of the others on some basic things but there really isn't any excuse for ANY part of this running any worse than any other current consoles at ALL. It's an older game for older consoles, why is it that Wii U should get a pass for running it sluggish at all?
Probably the second screen, I hope developers find good ways to stream it to both better without frame rate issues soon, or I may just wait for the other consoles all together.
@SMEXIZELDAMAN Technically there 'may' be frame rate 'issues' but I can happily day whilst playing it i've never noticed or even been bothered by any slowdown.
Apparently it's most noticable in fight scenes, but due to the way the game speeds up and slows down to show off the fighting, I really haven't noticed it.
Geez give the system time!! Neither 360 or PS3 had launch games of this caliber at launch!!! These games might be a year old but in perspective the Wii U has a pretty unprecedented launch lineup. I'm looking forward to seeing how Gearbox pushes the Wii U to outshine the current consoles. They've said it will be the definitive version graphically. (Console Wise)
I seriously can no longer wait to play this. So tempted to break open the "family present" right now and play it.
@tabris95: All of these 3rd party games that are coming out for Wii U with frame rate issues is due to rushed and not quite sure how the system works yet on the developers parts'.
Got it when it launched for 360, but want it for my Wii U. Just one question: Are the game+ costumes armored as well, or can I still rock the old-school TAS skin? I'm not really diggin' the armored looks.
Yes the game does drop some frames but has anyone played Fallout 3, an any console ? Mr game of the year was buggy, crashed and chugged all the way through. Game developers could learn a thing or two from Nintendo. First being that if you are going to make an epic video game how about actually play testing it and just possibly finishing it ? Never see these problems with Nintendo releases.
I just got this yesterday. It is awesome! The gamepad usage is really cool! The idea of using the gamepad like Batman's wrist computer is really neat! I do agree that frame movement maybe a little slow, but that is just minor. Extremely fun combat and stealth really contributes to this game's success! Though I have not done much, I can't wait for more! 10/10 so far!
I hate this game. The map is useless because it doesn't account for buildings with multiple levels, which is ALL OF THEM. I can't find the frigging doors anywhere. Meanwhile batman's just repeating "I need to get to the Loading Bay." Am I familiar with this particular building and where the Loading Bay is?
When I find the door, I have to equip a special gun, which I don't know how to do - hold L, point above the door, then press R. It comes up about six inches. I duck and try to go in. No dice. Turns out (I looked this up) I need to hold B to Run (which I forgot already) and tap something else to ROLL UNDER THE DOOR. No crawling, just rolling. Maybe, I don't know, put a knob on it? Let there be an alternate, less esoteric way to enter?
I can't remember the buttons and it keeps popping up with X = Smoke Pellet when I don't need it. Why not just show me all the buttons? I looked up the manual and it shows the combat controls and that's it. Why should I have to hold ZR (WTF is ZR?) and press X when there's a touch screen that could just pop up with the action I want to take?
The touch screen does nothing. It says "Waynetech" and "Objectives." I have no idea WTF Waynetech is. It keeps saying "level up" yet I have NO IDEA how to level up. What happens when I poke level up? Nothing. But I do get to read a profile on the Joker. Whoopee.
