Don't go by the pics at all... even the ones I took (page 10 on this page, I think it was) look horrendous in comparison to how nice the game actually looks and runs together. Even the smallest thing, including the initial uncoiling of the Grapnel Gun's rope, adds to the game's charm value.
The Dark Knight Rises game is now out in the US. Link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-dark-knight-rises/id522704697?mt=8 I just hit the buy button. Heading to the premiere. Be back in 5 hours.
It's not like that in the least. This is a world away from that tripe, and by no means a reskinned version of it.
Yes it is total and complete free roam, and yeah you can bet up ppl in the street, but only thugs/bad guys. And there's a big variety, even helicopters to take down if you get them mad enough. And snipers, guys with crowbars, machine gunners, etc. Get gta if you need to satisfy that urge
Enjoyed your story! Adam West and Burt Ward are the ONLY Batman & Robin to me, but I'm an old guy and that's to be expected.
I have gta, people are saying its like spiderman, so I asked if it was free roam, because spiderman has free roam.
Game Impressions It's not like spider-man in the slightest. The only real similarity I see between the two is the ability to roam freely around the city. Combat is a bit more of button mashing, but there's plenty of ways to take out your enemies. You can sneak around and drop on top of them, you can hit them from a distance with gadgets and so on. You can cling to helicopters, thug cars, rooftops, etc. and just go around making sure Gotham is clean if you don't go ahead with the main storyline. Voice acting is much better as well, not to mention missions have actual environments unlike Spider-Man where the game just spawned a few things in the already pre-set city landscape.
