Preorder anyone? http://game-preorders.com/batman-ark...der-bonus-list United States Amazon: $10 promotional credit, and exclusive Batman: Arkham City comic (with Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions only). Gamestop: exclusive Joker’s Carnival challenge map (reported 4 hours of gameplay), and a digital copy of Batman: Gotham Knight anime movie. BestBuy: exclusive Robin character with his own unique gadgets and moves. Playable in all challenge maps of the game, including two additional maps that are only available with Best Buy preorders (Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape). Newegg: free Batman t-shirt with console versions of the game. Walmart: $10 eGift card and a free copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum with console versions of the game. United Kingdom Amazon: exclusive Catwoman Steelbook edition and Batman Earth One DLC. HMV: exclusive LTD edition DC Batman Arkham City comic, a LTD edition Batman Arkham City T-Shirt and a LTD edition lenticular sleeve. Blockbuster: SteelBook CE of the game featuring the Penguin (Xbox 360 only). Tesco: Joker’s Carnival challenge map, and SteelBook case with Joker cover art. ShopTo.net: exclusive 1970′s Batman Suit DLC. This store also offers a Two-Face SteelBook edition for a slightly higher price. GAME: playable Robin character with two challenge maps and two costumes. This edition of the game also features Robin box art. GameStop: exclusive “Batman Beyond” Batsuit DLC. I bet the UK's 1970's batman suit DLC is P-I-M-P. I'll probably end up going with Gamestop and get the extra 4 hour map just because I don't care to play as Robin so screw the Robin skin.

Gamefly shipped it today, so game in hand by Wednesday. I enjoyed the first game, so I am excited about the sequel.

Anybody else beat it yet? I thought it was supposed to be really long! Ahem. . . . .That's what she said!!. . . . .sorry. . .had to be done.

[bassman]

grrr...i'm having to hold off in getting this. Already blown my recent nerd/fun funds on several hundred bucks worth of movie props. Hopefully next week. It's killing me...

[Mr. Clean]

Anybody else beat it yet? I thought it was supposed to be really long! For reals? You rush through it and not do side missions?

[slickwilly13]

I started to play it yesterday evening. There is a lot to do and explore. But I have read that some people have beat the main story. Why would anyone want to rush through it? I have no clue.

[childofgilead]

I wasn't trying to rush through it, I just thought that the main plot wouldn't be resolved so quick. Guess I was wrong..

[slickwilly13]

I am having a difficult time staying with the main story. I keep getting sidetracked on side quests.

[Mr. Clean]

Yeah, I'm about 10 hours in and haven't really done much besides side missions. I got the smoke pellets and eletric gun then started messing around the levels. Some of the AR side quests were HARD! Took me a bit to master the art of gliding.

[LoSTBoY]

WTF I see everyone everywhere playing their Batman Arkam City. WHERE'S MY FUCKING BATMAN!!!! *New supervillan develops*

[Mr. Clean]

Bane encounter was really cool. Rumors of croc from the inmates makes me want to see him. I hope scarecrow didn't really get eaten.

[slickwilly13]

I beat the main story.   The Joker dies. During the ending credits, the Joker sings during a voice mail. Kind of creepy.

Finally picked this up over the weekend. As I had hoped, it totally lives up the high standard set by the first game. I've only just defeated Freeze, but man i'm loving how many characters/villains they've squeezed into this game. As others have mentioned, the side missions are equally as fun as the main story and keep me busy most of the time. Currently at work and dying to get back home to play some more. Until then, I'll just read Batman comics while at work.
