I purchased this on a whim, and it quickly became one of my favorite games in years. If the timing had been a little better, this might have been the Wii U's killer app.The game is set almost entirely in "Arkham City," which is basically No Man's Land with fewer civilians, under the dictatorial control of Hugo Strange. Most major Gotham landmarks are, coincidentally, within the bounds of Arkham City--so you can visit Crime Alley, the GCPD headquarters, and Ace Chemicals (though you cannot accidentally knock hooded criminals into chemical vats). Like in No Man's Land, parts of the city have been ruined, and you have to be clever to get from point to point.The plot starts off very in media res. I suppose one could play the first entry in the series (but not on a Wii U) or read the comic books, but I did not, and I found the introduction to the story very abrupt. A more substantial prologue would have been appreciated. You receive the backstory through little textual vignettes, frequently out of sequence, as you complete various Riddler challenges. It ties various parts of the mythos together in an interesting way, but the presentation leaves something to be desired. The main story--the part you actually play through, as opposed to read about--is rather simple and feels like grimdark B:TAS fanfic, but it drives the action along.The characters are mostly 1990s-vintage and earlier. Some have been made edgier than their traditional counterparts. Mostly it works, but sometimes it gets silly. Batman, unfortunately, lacks a lot of the humor and compassion that makes him compelling. This is the brooding, snapping, cranky Batman. He's not going to stand around listening to the Joker's story of the two guys at the lunatic asylum. I suppose that could be explained by circumstances explained in the game, but it's still missed. His relationship with his allies is a little uncertain, too. Alfred seems to fill the role of Oracle at the beginning, until Oracle shows up, and Robin (evidently Tim) shows up to do the "we're worried about you don't push us away okay bye" routine.This being a game, I should say something about gameplay. It's split between exploration and two kinds of fighting, big brawls and "predator" sequences where you sneak around and take people out. There are a few boss fights, but most of those are some combination of the other two. The predator sequences are the best. You really feel like Batman, or the monster in a horror movie (which must be how Batman feels). It's great sadistic fun to silently take someone out, watch his comrades find his unconscious body, then savor their increasing terror as you isolate and disable them one by one--often while their supercriminal leader berates them over the radio.Batman has a "detective mode," influenced by the cell phone echolocation trick from The Dark Knight (or maybe it was first seen in Batman Forever?). It helps you distinguish armed from unarmed enemies, which walls or floors can be broken through, etc. It's a bit of a cheat--it allows you to see through solid objects--but this kind of omniscience or expanded perception has always existed in video games. (The player knows there is a Goomba behind Super Mario, even if there is no way Mario could know it's there.) Detective mode is also used to do actual detective work in a few cases. This isn't a puzzle-solving adventure game, but it does give the impression Batman can solve puzzles when he needs to.The game's save system is a blessing and a curse. It's autosave only. Usually it saves exactly where you want it to. Sometimes it does not. You may find yourself respawning at the beginning of a massive fight you would rather not have; or the beginning of a lengthy cinematic you would rather not watch again. You can continue playing the game indefinitely after finishing the main story, to complete the remaining side quests and Riddler challenges. The game also includes an epilogue called Harley's Revenge, which you can launch from the main menu at any time. You get to play as Robin. I played through it once, then when I started it again to get a few things I missed the first time through, I hit a bug that dumps me back to the main menu every time. Oh, well.The WiiU gamepad is integrated perfectly. I can't imagine playing this game without it. It normally displays a moving map, but you also use it for almost all menu functions, and as a hacking tool in sequences that I am assured represent the way crackers actually break into secure networks. The speaker even plays radio and microphone intercepts from the local environment. If you are listening to an intercept as you approach the speaker, the sound seamlessly transitions to the television, providing an audible cue that you are approaching a bad guy. It's really neat.That sums up my feeling about pretty much every element of this game. It's all really neat. There's always something to zoom in on and look closer at, or a secret backstory, or a new technique to batter someone into unconsciousness. It's a nigh-perfect Batman game.I've never had a Batman game before. Only other "superhero" type game I ever had was a couple of the Spiderman games, simply because of the unique movement through the environment compared to the first person shooters that are my normal bread and butter on a game console.I purchased it specifically for the Wii-U because I like the Pad's integration in games. Spiderman, Lego City Undercover, it adds a nice touch. And here, as well, it adds to it. Like Lego City Undercover, when you're talking to someone via radio, you hear them on the speakers of the pad. However, this was my first strike on the game - when you turn OFF the sound on the pad (such as when you're playing after kids are in bed using headphones) then it does *NOT* automatically put the sound through the normal output with the rest of the things so you can hear it on the headphones. That was one thing I got used to on Lego City, that if I turned off the volume on the pad, the radio conversations would play both sides over the headphones then. Not this one. And I had several instances where even with the pad volume on, I'd only hear one side of the conversation, it would glitch the other. And sometimes it was the main character's voice missing, not the one that would've played on the pad anyway.There are a lot of combo moves. If you're not a fan of having to memorize a ton of button combinations for one game, then pass this one. But that being said, you can survive just doing the basics.Flight is frustrating. Just gliding around and grappling to points to move is easy, but there are "advanced" challenges that require some serious accuracy as to when to stop your fall when flying to get into a tunnel or something, and being a 2D video game, it can be a pain getting that change from dive to level flight at just the right moment. In the forums people talk about having tried a single challenge for two days, and giving up and putting the game away. The challenges don't appear to be tied to finishing or even progressing the game (I haven't finished the game yet, but I've advanced pretty far and to this point not finishing them isn't causing me any issues), but I understand their frustration, dealing with a couple of them myself.Graphics are smooth - even flying around and having the cityscape all around. Combat is smooth with only a couple instances of hesitation and delay. There are a multitude of attacks to choose from, but you may get bored with the nonstop fighting since each fight is pretty much like the next.You also can pick up "Riddler trophies" which are hidden things scattered around the city. Most have switches or puzzles of some sort to figure out to open a cage holding the trophy. Some you can't get till later in the game, so if there's one you can't figure out, just mark it on the map and come back to it later when you have more gear and more options.The interaction with the Wii-U game pad is very well done, other than the sound glitch. But I also had issues when I would go to the upgrades page, since initially it never let me scroll to the sides, so I never knew there were more upgrades available than what was shown on the first page it displays for each category. When I finally tried again since I had maxed out everything I could early on, and found that it could scroll, it wouldn't STAY scrolled, and kept reverting back to the first page. Eventually I got it responding right, but it took a bit. But those were the only glitches with the pad so far.Switching from Batman to Cat Woman is pretty cool as well, different fighting styles and different weapons and abilities. Those trophies I mentioned above, they come in "his and her" flavors, some are for Batman, some are for Cat Woman.Going into "detective mode" lets you use your suit's enhanced capabilities, such as seeing things around walls, and it makes finding "bad guys" a lot easier when you're just flying around looking for some butt to kick to get some experience.Even with the few glitches and problems, it's very enjoyable though. I paid less getitng it quite a bit after launch, and at this price it was definitely worth it.Llego a tiempo, el servicio muy rápido y oportuno, y el juego llego en buenas condiciones, los gráficos muy buenos.Didn’t work, to difficult to send backExcelente título del caballero de la noche para jugar en Wii UIst cool aber manche missionen sind ziemliech lang aber im ganzen ist es ziemliech cool kann ich nur weiterempfehlen einfach nur cool
