"Batman: Arkham Asylum"

[loluntilmypie]

Playing the demo five times through I thought the game would be amazing. It didn't lose any of its expectations.

There's many villains/criminals in there that would all look different - Harley Quinn has a new look in the game, the Joker looks more sociopathic in the game rather than the cartooney-evil he used to be like (in my opinion). Killer Croc is... huge. Although I haven't got to fighting him yet there is a part where you see him for about ten seconds (Right at the beginning).

The game's got much more of a dark/gothic feeling to the game. Most rooms where you have to save someone require a good need for thinking and planning rather than the usual take-anything-out-that-moves plan we always do in Devil May Cry etc. The fighting is fluent and stylish, and some enemies are armed with rifles/shotguns etc. that actually do quite a lot of damage. You can do all sorts of detective work in it - although it ends up needing to follow a trail.

For those who have a PS3 you can download the Joker challenge maps. These are really good - but also quite harder since you can't hide like Batman.

For me, this gets a 9/10 and I recommend it.

Tried to but it today, but discovered it was delayed on PC. Not going to fight my brother for use of his XBox or buy a PS3, if I have a desktop in my room.

I'll play the Joker stuff at my friend's house. And touch his batarang.

I beat the game today, it was great. I'm excited for the new one they announced. Hopefully they take their time on it and don't just try and push it out because the first was a major hit.

I guess I have to get this game now, eh?

It's a rental. The campaign is about 6-8 hours but there are bonus things like challenge modes, trophies to collect, etc.

Is that a sex thing, or what?

I wasn't too thrilled by the demo, to be honest, but after hearing so many good things about the game and having received a GAME gift card for christmas, I thought: "What the hell, let's see what all the fuss is about."

It was awesome.

No, it came with the Super Awesome edition... cough cough...

I completed it for the PC ages ago and enjoyed it. Can't wait for the sequel, but would try to get Physx to work on my PC before I do. The lag from not having a Nvidia card with Physx killed me when I tried it out,

Darn ATi and not having a deal with Physx companies who don't like open-source stuff.

You're a bit late on getting it for PC, it was on sale a couple of weeks ago.

This game is awesome but the best part of the game was probably either the joker or scarecrow. Although I wish I could have fought more of the major villains and wished the campaign was longer but it is undeniably the greatest super hero game ever.

[Robotchk12]

I hear it has a terrible end boss fight, though.

Yeah your right. Even when the joker is as strong as ever, he's a terrible fighter.

Most of the bosses were pretty easy. Scarecrow could be the exception though. You really didn't fight him, he was just scary as fuck.

Lego Batman was a superior game in every way.

Well although I'm suprised to see this coming back on the front page...

There's a second Arkham Asylum in production. > Trailer <
