Is there any reason to get the PC version of this game? I usually play games like this with the controller anyways.

The usual perks on PC, and some way improved physics, but honestly if you prefer to play it on pc, that is basicly all there is to it, nothing on the PC version that demands it above all else, so platform of choice.

Better graphics and framerate. PhysX, if you have an Nvidia card.

No reason not to get it on PC, especially if you have the power and appropriate graphics card to run it with full PhysX on + DX 11 effects.

Far better graphics, I mean Arkham Asylum on PC looks better than Arkham City does on consoles.

Better graphics - the prospect of a higher resolution, Vsync, higher quality textures, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, ambient occlusion (maybe??) and a better frame rate

And for those with a good enough Nvidia card, some pretty nifty PhysX features.

And as with most other games, it will probably be cheaper.

Physx doesn't add much there's a comparison trailer. It should be called Extra rubbish looking particlex.

Except for the obvious better graphics, I think mouse + keyboard felt good for Batman. Slightly better even, because of the faster camera control you get from a mouse. Made it easier to target enemies.

60 fps is usually nice. AA had great animations, it made everything looks sexy.

I would say no not if you have the game for console. Nothing in the pc version would warrent buying that also.

Well if you don't haven it yet, and you have a decent rig, you can have it look way better than on consoles, as well as still use a controller!

Those who don't have the mind to comprehend Physx tend to say such similar things.

Kindof what I was thinking. All improved graphics could be classified in a similar tone really. If you want an excellent version get PC, if you have an Nvidia card then you get a supremely excellent looking version that will trump all other versions.

Speaking of Batman AC, I sure hope they release the alternate skins/models for free after a while or as paid DLC as fast as possible @_@ them Beyond and Earth One are awesome.

Get anXbox 360 controller for your PC if your worried about the controls.

I usually go with mouse/keyboard for first person shooters and RPGs but I got an Xbox 360 controller for this game. I've tried it out on Arkham Asylum and prefer it to the mouse/keyboard for this kind of action/adventure game.

If a game is going to be compared between PC and consoles, it's a topic best suited for System Wars.
