Has anyone played this game?!
What are your thoughts?
I'll start.

I loved the story, game play, and just about everything else.
It was a solid game in the Arkham series.
However, I freaking hate the addition of the Batmobile!
They have a battle mode feature where the Batmobile
turns into a freaking tank. Also, they took the challenge
maps off the game which is really a shame because that's
what gave the previous Arkham titles amazing replay value!
I still play Asylum, City, and even Origins! (Origins was kind of bleh)
Still haven't played it, but I really want to. The Batmobile bits aside, which seem forced and completely unnecessary, it looks like more of the same, and more of the same in this franchise is just fine, thank you very much. I played the heck out of Arkham City, beat Arkham Asylum, and, uh, well, Origins... is... well, it's on the to-do list. Not sure what went wrong with it - maybe not being made by Rocksteady is part of the problem - but it's just not as interesting as the other two, and I bet Arkham Knight is better as well.

Spoiling the story for myself kinda too the oomph out of it, though. But I'd kinda guessed the identity of Arkham Knight before the game came out.
I'm a huge fan of the Arkham series, so naturally I was counting down to this one. But I found myself fairly disappointed with the storyline/ending. The non 100% ending especially. Not EVERYONE tries to complete a game fully, so to be left at THAT... it felt like an April Fools joke. But I did enjoy that there was more focus on the Bat family compared to the other games. Batmobile indeed was thrust in our faces though, which is a shame.

(Re: Origins. I actually love it. Great storyline. It does have the occasional glitch, but I can personally overlook those.)
