Pros and cons of Batman Arkham City Official Map App app for iPhone and iPad
Batman Arkham City Official Map App app good for
Very useful, only complaint is Ive noticed about a handful of the trophies and riddles so far are backwards or flipped with one in a different area of the same map. The picture shows one thing and the description describes a completely different location/riddle. Also I would suggest adding the security cameras/balloons/penguins/Harley heads and teeth :)
Gone are the days when you need a dictionary sized book in your lap to locate all of the collectables in a game. This app is very useful for completionists like myself and so far it hasnt let me down. Well worth the price!
Basically this app will tell you how to find all riddler trophies and riddles. I know you can find them all on the Internet one way or another but for the small price there asking it beats the hell out of having to search for hours for all of them. My only complaint is that they should add other collet blues such as Tyger cameras, Harley heads and penguins. Once again this app is essential if you plan on completing the enigma conundrum side mission.
Very useful in finding/figuring out some of the more obscure riddles and trophies, but clearly wasnt giving a proper quality check before release. A number of descriptions dont match the corresponding images, some locations are switched with others on the opposite side of the same map (i.e. Museum riddles), some descriptions are given opposite directions (i.e. "go west" instead of "go east") and lastly, not all the riddles are included (a number are missing from the Steel Mill map). Still, as companion guide its pretty good - just dont plan on using this as the definitive guide and youll be pretty satisfied.
The map markers need to be smaller and numbered like the above review mentioned. i find myself having to constantly zoom in and out trying to understand the map and where i am in the game. Also it would be really nice if once you collected a trophy it was no longer shown on the map. Its nice to see just what trophies are remaining, and keep things clear.
At first I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of unsolved Riddler trophies. I was hoping to get something easier that would synch with your game profile and direct you to unsolved riddles. But as I started using it I realized how much Ive misjudged this app. Its well worth the asking price and it will still help game completionists more than any online FAQ for Riddler puzzles. I hope they add more details like trophies, Tyger security locations etc.
Some bad moments
Super useful for keeping track of your items and where youve been! Thanks bradygames!
Excellent app..well done, if it had things like security cameras, joker ballon locations, etc....would have been a 5
It is a nice guide for finding all the riddles you missed and keeping track of your progress. For its price, I wish the App included some of the other optional things the game has, such as the location of all the cameras you can destroy, the Joker balloons you can pop and so on. It would also be nice if it included solutions for the Riddler Rooms.
Another option would be including a code for these map apps inside either the guide or at least in the collectors version of the guide since as it stands, $2.99 is a little too expensive for what the app has.
I usually use the web and my iPad to do the tracking. So, Ive been waiting to pick up the game until a good site became available. Now? Now I will buy the game!
This app crashes every time I try to use it. I already tried deleting then re-installing it several times, but it still crashes every time. Im using an iPod Touch w/ latest software and the same w/ iTunes. I have not been able to use this app since I bought it....
This is a great app dont get me wrong but for 2.99 why cant it connect to my xbox/ps3 account and auto mark trophies ive already got?
