Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

WOW, I am going to love this game. The demo starts from the beginning of the game and acts kinda like a tutorial. Not too long of a demo but not too short either. Graphics are very nice, voices sound great too.

The stealth portions are fun, very rewarding if you are patient (which I usually am not). You have to take down the armed hench men one by one with stealth. I liked when you are up high and when they get close enough you press triangle and grapple down, choke them, and hang them from their feet. You can also glide kick and take them down. Felt awesome and once you put them all down it felt rewarding.

The demo ended with Batman finding Joker only to have him unleash a huge Bane looking dude (wasnt Bane though) and then the demo ended. This looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. There are a lot of nice character profiles in the demo, which you can look at right away or wait till after the demo. There was some cool interview sound clips of the Joker too. Judging by the demo this is going to be a must buy for Batman fans.

Just finished the demo! Thought it was great! I've really been looking forward to this game and it looks like it won't disappoint!

The controls feel great and I love the detective mode. Reminds me of the scan visor in Metroid Prime.

The demo gives you a pretty good taste of the game too. I was worried that it would just be the combat challenge room demo they've had at stores for a while, but it is the beginning of the game.

You get to try the combat, but you also get to try out the stealth aspects as well, which are great!

Can't wait for this game!

p.s. - Mark Hamill rocks as the Joker!!! The audio tapes of his interviews were awesome!

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

It is very pretty, and looks chock-full of Batman-y goodness, with the whole roster of characters. The combat and combos feel right - fast and deadly.

Just on an initial run through, it's reminding me of the very first Splinter Cell ... and that's a good thing. It's sort of "puzzle stealth" where there's a pretty set way they expect you to progress, and the fun lies in figuring it out. It's also pretty deadly - screw around and let yourself get shot at, and you're toast.

All in all, looking forward to it even more with this demo.
