Hope this finds a bit more Advise.
Batman Arkham Asylum
Not that im actually a big DC Fan and would love Superhero Games.
Here,I really awaited this Release and was happy that it turns out to be a very dark and insane third Person Adventure.
Gameplay-wise it totaly reminds me to Dead Space but not so bloody.
The Game contains a great Comic Story and the new -Freeflow- Combat System.
Its really impressive to fight the insane and/or arrested Gangsters with cool Moves followed by a final Finishing Move
Your also able to glide with your Cape.Thats a totaly awesome and great looking Feature.
The Animations look like they would be ripped direct out of the Comics.
The Crapple Gun aka Baterang/Bat-Claw can be used in a similar way like in Bionic Commando.
Basicly to reach other Areas or to open Vent-Shafts.
But the World here is not so far open,so the usage of the Crapple Gun is limited.
The Arkham Asylum Complex is totaly awesome you feel like you would be in Alcatraz Island Penitentiary
Besides of Fighting your way through the Asylum , you do some little Detective Work while using your numerous Gadgets.
Not that i know each of them but the Villains are pretty cool ad sometimes way scary like the Sequences with Scarecrow.
I loved to read that ,the Game is based on the 70-Year Batman Franchise.
I was a big DC Fan in the early 80` and so i loved to see the similar looking Characters
like Batman,Gordon and Joker.They reminds me in total ,to the time i read Batman Comics.
You will also meet Vilians like Killer Krok,Harley Quinn,Poison Ivy,Bane,Mr. Zsasz
and The Riddler but only acoustic due to you collect through the whole Game Riddler Trophys
to unlock Gadget Upgades or unlocking Challenge Maps.
I missed a bit Ra’s al Ghul,he so would fit to this Game.
I play it on PS3 and theres plenty of free DLC like
some new Challenge Maps and the Ability to play as Joker the Challeges.
The Good in Short:
-Combines Fighting,Stealth and detective Elements perfect
-Cape gliding
-Crapple Gun (Baterang,Bat Claw)
-Detective Mode (with x-ray Scanner/or other Modifications)
-The Controls are plenty but easy and good to handle.
-You will visit the Batcave.
-a complexe Map.
-Bat-Suit and Gadget Upgrades.
-Guinness World Record for 'Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever'.
-Great dark Gamedesign and great looking UE-3 Engine.
-Great Animations and Cutscenes
-Excellente German Voice Actors,think the Original Voices are the same good.
The little Bad in short.
-Sometimes Oracle wants to tell you something via Radio,
mostly its Girls-Talk (like bla bla blub) and slows you in gaming.
-The repeating of opening various Vent Shafts.
Since i rated Bionic Commando in the Past with 9/10,
Batman Arkham Asylum is minimum 9,5/10 For me the best Adveture Game that i played this Year.
Its not only a Game for DC Supeheroes Fans but they will sure love it.
Best Batman Game ever.I only played this one
If you like discuss or talk about it.
That was stupid. Come on, what's the point? You have already beaten these guys! Just because there are a couple chattering teeth with bombs running around, that doesn't mean the fight is any different from the rest of the game! Why deny the player this awesome battle between two symbolic forces? Why make him do this "beat the generic criminal" stuff all over again? Why not just throw him against the beast itself?
