5.0 out of 5 stars Arkham City GOTY+ is Fantastic! December 8, 2012
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
It feels almost pointless to discuss how fantastic Arkham City is because it's so renowned. This particular version for the Wii U does offer some extra features that are important to mention.

Arkham City: Armored Edition contains all of the same content as the Game of the Year (GOTY) editions for PS3 and Xbox360 plus a little extra. It includes not only the base Arkham City game, but all of the extra DLC that was released for it including the Catwoman missions, the Riddler's Revenge challenges, the Harley missions, and everything else. In addition to all the features you'll find in the GOTY editions it includes a few Wii U enhancements.

"Armored Edition" means Batman and Catwoman have special armor that isn't available in the other editions of the game. This armor comes with an ability to activate it and go into "BAT" mode after you've absorbed enough kinetic energy. In this mode, you'll move faster and hit harder for a short period of time. It's activated with a button on the gamepad screen, which is conveniently located in the top-left corner.

The utilization of the gamepad screen is a major addition to the game that is not available in other versions. It acts as the menu system for the game, an interactive map with waypoint ability and sonar capabilities, and in a number of different ways based on the tools being used. It's a great way of utilizing the second screen, and a big improvement.

This version does experience some slowdown when encountering large fights with a large number of enemies in the open world. Other than that, the performance is quite good.

Highly recommended if you've never played this game before! In my opinion, this is the best version of the game because of the additional features included (in particular, the integration with the Wii U Gamepad). If you already own the GOTY edition for another system, this version is probably a bit redundant, but if you don't, you should do yourself a favor and get this game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Arkham City Armored Edition (WiiU Version) December 2, 2012
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Compare to other console version, WiiU version is completely different experience. Things are more customizable and more fun to play with WiiU game pad. Graphics and other things are basically the same if those things matter to you. Get this game and you won't be dissapointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unparalleled gaming greatness! December 2, 2012
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Don't even know why I'm writing this review, because it's pretty much going to echo the sentiment of everyone else...

Gorgeous graphics, crisp combat system, great weaponry and challenging puzzles make this a gem.

Hands down, one of the TOP 10 action games ever devised. They took a great game, ported it, enhanced it and added all of the downloadable content to create one of the most satisfying gaming experiences that I have ever had.

I will say that the Wii U controller takes some getting used to, just because it's a grand departure from what the gaming community has seen thus far. However, once you understand the mechanics, you'll love how interactive it is.

I literally had to tear myself away from this game several times. I've been playing for about 12 hours already, and I'm only at 12%.

The section involving R'as Al Ghul is second to none.

This is a must have for the Wii U.

By the definition of "gimmick" which is "A trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or business," that would make every feature of every console a "gimmick."

It's actually not a gimmick, and more of a progression. Everyone else is trying to do the... Read more

right price
If you already own it, there isn't much reason to buy this. But if you're like me and haven't played it yet, this is as good a time as any as this version comes with all the DLC.
