I think you injured your back just so you could play it straight away ;p jokes.

Just watched the review at Gametrailers. They gave it a 9.3, but I wasn't really interested in their score just really for watching the footage, but they also did nothing but rave about it. Other reviews I've read have been full of nothing but praise. Unprecidented to not only have the original slip through and be a breakout hit, but to then top it with a sequel - especially in this genre - is amazing.

Now I just have to wait until next Friday. I am getting the statue CE, lackluster as it may be. I figure it can't be worse than the batarang debacle from the CE of the first.

The Catwoman DLC thing is an interesting thing. Sucks if you have no net and buy it new, it's weird to be releasing content on game release. But it's an interesting difference to the usual online passes.

I'm sure I'll be hearing about it from my boss tomorrow.. oh, how I love that guy like I love a snake bite.

I JUST read about that online pass bullshit. That's actually worse than locking content on disc then claiming that it's DLC. Ugh. Anyway, I have to say that the statue is actually cool and the box of the CE is pretty nice looking. The soundtrack is awesome btw, so if that album disc is indeed the game's own OST, it's worth it.

Think of it something between AA's soundtrack and Elfman's score from Batman Returns. The atmosphere reminds me of that movie too.

Glad to hear about the CE. I kinda figured they'll want to avoid the critical backlash from those who actually purchased the original game's one straight away by providing a crap statue/figure.

The store I ordered it from e-mailed me to say they're including 3 bonus skins from Batman TAS, Batman Beyond, and Batman Earth One to all orders which is a nice bonus.

I got told by the guy at another store the retailer exclusive Robin content goes on sale for everyone on the 22nd of Nov or there abouts.

The trophy list is huge and there is lots to be done here, and I mean LOTS. I didn't think lumping in so many villains would work out well but they did it.

Also, don't quite remember what your audio setup is but they went all out and included all formats a la Sony so DD, DTS and LPCM up to 7.1 is supported.

I have a fairly basic sound setup at home currently, but as you know the more audio options supported the better it is for everyone.

I saw there was a heap of trophies, had a glance at your list. Also noted the DLC stuff was added from day one. Not sure if I'll do everything this time, while I was proud of finishing AA to 100% I'm not sure if I'll have the time for AC.

I finally downloaded that Catwoman DLC (it is a DLC separate from the disc actually), and it's not half bad. The story overall is definitely engaging, barring some cheesy lines snuck in.

Done. Campaign-wise, it's shorter than AA but I'm only 45% done at this stage so there is a ton of other stuff to be done in the game.

The story flow is more coherent in the first but they did add pretty much everyone here without screwing things up. I should try the Catwoman episodes and then go on with the rest of the game... there is new game + here too.

Walmart here has a tremendous deal: Get AC and AA GOTY Edition is free. I got the 360 one and will sell the PS3 AC for now. Not there is anything wrong with that version, it's just that the loading algorithm they got is giving the BD drive a workout.

@ Stu - I'm guessing one of them is the electric floor one. That one annoyed the crap out of me to no end. Got there after a few days of trying on and off.

The CE is on it's way via Overnight Courier, should arrive first thing in the morning. About time. :D
