The encounter with the Mad Hatter plays out in a similar 2D sidescrolling fashion as the nightmarish encounters with Scarecrow in Arkham Asylum, although the Mad Hatter encounter is largely inferior

The Mad Hatter and

In particular, I'd have to say that the Mad Hatter mission is my favorite, expanding on Arkham City's Mad Hatter mission, which was also my favorite in that game

The Mad Hatter's "Wonderland" is a mix of elements from Arkham City's Enigma Conundrums, Arkham Asylum's Scarecrow mazes, & some visuals from Arkham City's Wayne Manor challenge map.11

Even the music for side missions (such as a drug-induced trip into Wonderland courtesy of The Mad Hatter) is great

I should also mention that, being that there are 8 assasins after you, including a few other well-known batman villans (like the mad hatter :D), makes for lots of epic boss battles and cinematics that makes a batman fan's jaw drop in awe at batman's AWESOMENESS!!

The Mad Hatter showdown reuses the Zsasz fight from Arkham Asylum

I mean, besides the assassins, Batman meets Jim Gordon, Barbara, the Penguin, the Riddler, the Mad Hatter and the Joker, plus, Joker meets Harley Quinn, ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT, which happens to be Christmas

Throughout you'll run into such villains as Black Mask, the Penguin, the Mad Hatter, Deathstroke, Bane and Shiva

There is a a Mad Hatter side adventure that is almost identical to the Scarecrow side adventure in Akrham Asylum

The Mad Hatter threatens a woman with a knife and must be taken down with a reverse battering.10

It is clear that plenty of effort went into making the story and gameplay come together, as well as into the fantastic voice acting and scoring

take on all of these characters that we all grew up loving, as well as it's dark and mature story

The cut scenes and story line was as impressive and entertaining as you can imagine, the voice actors do very admirable jobs, living up to the franchise standard set by the likes of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill.

The combat system is virtually unchanged from previous Arkham games, but for some reason, the controls just don't feel as perfect as before

He is in your sights, here comes batman gliding at you as fast as he can...who is gonna win!

First off, Batman can travel around the city just as well as he could before by gliding and using his grapnel gun to zip himself to ledges and rooftops

If you liked the first 2 games and want more then this is it, its just not as great as it could have been.

The story didn't have a sense of urgency and many elements felt like reheated leftovers from a really good meal...not bad, but not as good as when it was fresh

Countering more than one enemy is also improved as it requires you to press the counter button once for each enemy you are engaging

Some of the controls were changed, and I should have known I was in trouble as you can't improve on perfection.
