    So no batmobile or what.  That is kinda upsetting, but doesn't kill the game for me.  I'm still excited to play this masterpiece.

    I guess I didn't read close enough, the first time. Can we stop with the articles about articles please? That's way too lazy.

    Maybe for Batman, but for a character like Spider-Man, an open-world is a necessity.

    Even though I thought Arkham Asylum was one of the best games of 09, and added a cherrie on top of what brought Batman back to life after the Dark Knight film, I haven't been overly excited for this game. I have a feeling I will be soon though.

    I don't really care about the city's size, as long as you have rooftops, streets and sewers... even though Arkham Asylum had different levels, Arkham City needs way more roof action!

    So will players get to use the Batmobile? Or web-sling (er, Grapple hook) their way across the city?

    Then again, that would be about a 1 hour game.

    Sounds good, as long as I don't have to 'Push X to Run'.  
     
    The trailer shows quite a few low-level buildings so I'm hoping for a lot more grappling and lot less running.

    Right great environments, cool characters, and fun story mode.  Wait these are all the things are were right with the first game.  How about we here how you guys didn't just make five or six of the exact same boss fights?  Or how you changed up the enemy encounters to be something other than a gargoyle hopping game of tag? 
     
    I'll be impressed and ready for this sequel when it starts acting like a sequel.  The first game was great but its flaws were only forgivable because, a) it was a decent Batman (or even super hero) game and b) it was the first.  I do not think they can get away with the same lazy mistakes again.  They've created an amazing skeleton for a game now they just need to build something amazing on top of that.

    When I was a kid I used to think Batman was kind of lame. Now, thanks to the new Batman movies I pick up a controller to play Arkham: Asylum and while I am breaking henchman faces I think to myself: *"Yeah I'm fucking Batman!". 
     
    No game and no character has ever made me feel this way so I am totally looking forward to this game.

    Big is fine as long as the narrative and the focus is controlled for this kind of game. Definately looking forward to it though

    I'd certainly hope it's bigger (and longer). The first one was damn small and short. Good, but short. (Unless you count all the meaningless collecting bullshit).

    Yeah, i am getting the feeling that the world will be filled with buildings that i can't enter, streets that go nowhere, and the same 5 random npcs walking around.  Hopefully i am wrong, but yeah...

    @Zor: Yea, that's one of the things that felt so good about Arkham Asylum. The space wasn't massive but it was all critical and well realized. Dead Space 1 had a similar environment.  
     
    Overall, the news doesn't make me feel very good. I loved AA's tight experience, and hope they can do the same with a bigger space. Also, this is going to make cleaning up riddles even more annoying. Though swinging around should be fun.

    So will it actually be open though? Or is it more like they are saying "there are five times more tiny interlinked corridor levels in our 'city'?".

    First game was awesome and wasn't even that large once you'd unlocked all the areas really. Did a great job of pacing your progress to hide it. Five times larger sounds like a nice sweet spot between bigger and too big to me :-D
