Batman: Arkham Knight

The Batmobile looks completely unnecessary and tedious from the few videos I've seen.

Really glad I'm waiting a while to play this

I've been hearing from a lot of people this would be the best Arkham game if not for the Batmobile.

How is this on Xbox One? Is it suffering from any of the issues plaguing the PC version?

It's playable, though it seems both consoles are having some dropped frames, but nothing that will cause the game to not play.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed by the boss battles in this game. There are way too many bosses that involve the Batmobile, such as reducing Deathstroke to a tank battle. Further, the Arkham Knight is only fought by sneaking up and grappling to him when he is in a sniper position. I was hoping for another intense hand-to-hand fight like we got from Deathstroke in Origins. The rest involve beating up a group of thugs to build up a Dual Team Takedown and just smacking the big enemy. As much flack as Origins (somewhat unfairly) got, they nailed the bosses and this was a serious step back.

I played Arkham City on Wii U ... graphics are nice, storyline and mood is good, yet still I did not get that much into the game (at least not as much as I hoped to). Can't really point out as to what exactly, but something in the gameplay seems to be lacking.

Actually, my earlier post notwithstanding, I would still recommend the game, especially if it'd be your first in the series. There is a lot of fun to be had and well worth the money. I just felt a little let down by that one aspect.

This game is great, it unfortunately is not better than Arkham City (I still believe that is a top 5 game of all time) and may not be better than Asylum. The 3 main gripes I have are:

1.The boss battles, it's been said already but they are disappointing.
2.The Arkham Knight twist, very disappointing and it turns out to be very unoriginal IMO
3.No challenge maps, are you kidding me? Half the fun was playing the maps as Batman and his allies and there is nothing yet.

I'll stick up for the Batmobile, it can be a bit tedious but people have been asking for the Batmobile forever now. I still give the game a 8.5/10 and it's probably a top 30 game of all time for me. Arkham City just set the bar too high and this game didn't meet the expectations. Graphics are insane though, beautiful game and Scarecrow was awesome. I am kind of disappointed with the lack of Bane, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Ra's al Ghul, etc. Some of the side mission villains like Deacon Blackfire and Professor Pyg were lame. Also, I hate Firefly.
