Arkham City looks so fucking good.

It is so fucking good.

That there's "too much" isn't really a problem. It's that they throw all of it at you at once. For example, one of the side-quests involves ringing phones. If you don't answer a phone fast enough, then the dude hangs up and you just have to wait for the next one. There are also Riddler challenges which are usually about timing (they're kind of like platform challenges; I really love the way they did them). So you can be in the middle of a doing a Riddler challenge when all of a sudden a helicopter rolls up and shines a big-ass spot light on you and then dudes come to try and fight you and then you hear a phone start ringing while these jackasses are taking swings at your head and the Riddler puzzle is about to time out.

Once you prioritize, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. You can hold down a button to mark Riddle puzzles on your map, so you don't even have to rush them. You can grapnel away from enemies so you don't really have to fight them, but if you get too caught up in the moment, it can definitely seem overwhelming.

But yeah. Fuckin good game so far.
