Batman: Arkham Asylum

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Man, the Challenge Rooms are insane. I can't seem to get all three Batarangs for the fighting challenges (2 max for each one) and I'm slowly working through the Invisible Predator challenges using Youtube & IGN help videos as reference. Man watching said videos you see some great, innovative ways to use all the fighting & predator mechanics. The devs added all kinds of depth to the gameplay.

And yes, the Scarecrow sequences were downright amazing. I have never played a story-driven game where once I beat it I felt the need to go through and relive the game again right away.

I agree with you about this game but, I felt the same way about GoW when I first beat it, as well.

I ended up beating the Joker last night now I'm trying to finish all of the Riddeler's stuff. After I finish that I'm going to try to beat the game on Hard (I beat it on normal so, I really don't consider it beating the game, you know?). Hopefully, that will hold me over until I decide on an NBA game.

Just go into every challenge with a plan (even the combat ones) and you should be fine... (1000/1000 achievements in it)

That's freaking awesome to hear for someone who just picked up the game! I started playing a bit last night and was only in the training phase but didn't want to put it down! I knew I'd be a wreck at work this morning if I didn't though LOL. Can't wait to get home to pick up and play more!

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Bought this game on release day and I'm barely at 23% completion. I'm trying to hurry up and beat it so I can go ahead and reserve MW2. Gonna try and finish this baby in the next week or so that way I can still get a decent trade in value. Peace!!!!

I still haven't finished this and I'm right at the end.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Which one?

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I just saw on Cheapassgamer.com that this is one of Amazon's deals today between 10:00 am Pacific to 12:00 pm Pacific. No word on the price, and it only mentioned the 360 version. Guess I will have to wait about 20 min to see.

Played the demo and it seems really well done.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

So, I'm thinking Batman's single player campaign might be my favorite of the year. I haven't gotten far into Assassin's Creed yet, though.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I need to start playing again

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

How long does the campaign take to complete? I can't figure out if I should rent or buy. I figure I will only play it through once. Probably on the middle difficult if it's not too hard.

Rental would probably be a good choice unless you are a massive Batman fan. It doesn't take too long to beat the main story.

I've only gone through it once and haven't really touched it since but I don't regret buying it because I'm a huge Batman fan and I got it first day for $38.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Agreed. I beat it within a week or two and after the 1st month it's just sitting there. While I wish it had more replay value, I don't regret purchasing it; in fact, I'd even go so far to say it is a game of the year candidate (yes, even over COD: MW2) and I enjoyed every minute of the game.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I ended up trading this in for assassin's creed since i beat it on hard and found all the riddler challenges first time through. After that there wasn't anything else to really do.
