Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Liked it a lot overall, wished they would have gave you the option to play on harder difficulties . Defiantly going to play on hard in the full game to get rid of the counter indicator above their heads.

Wow.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Game is absolutely amazing.

Graphically it is awesome. Characters look just like you expect to with great deal. Environments are just what you except from Batman, dark and gritty.

Sounds are as good as the graphics; voice work is awesome.

Controls are really fluid and stealth game + Batman = amazing. I love stealth games and this game is pure stealth. If you're not into finding different ways to take down enemies except for button smashing, this game might not be for you. You have to really plan your attacks as running around against armed guys will get you disposed of quickly.

Also grappling and then gliding for a take down is awesome; however, nothing is more awesome than gliding through a glass ceiling for a take down.

I was getting this game anyway but now I'm completely sold. Can't wait for this one!

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I like it. I wish there was more to being "stealthy," but since it's only a demo I won't complain too much.

Is the game out yet? This is the first time I have heard of this game. It looks ****ing sick! Never mind you must be talking about the demo. When does this game come out?

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

This demo really blew me away. You could tell from the pics and videos that the graphics were awesome but the gameplay and voicework is what impressed me the most from my first play through of the demo. I LOVE what they've done with the counter system. Truly feels like you're Batman. I will agree with others that I look forward to playing on a harder level though.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

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!

Agreed. Best Joker and Hob Goblin voice over.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Great write-up...now that's what I call impressions!

Going to be a buy for me.

Sweet. I am going to check out the demo. It is better on the 360 or PS3 or are they both pretty equal?

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Before the demo I was a little skeptical, after playing the demo this game is really cool. I just wish the camera was a little far back...............other than that I really like the Detective Mode and the use of stealth. It helps add to the gameplay.

The graphics are very nice, especially the details.

The voice acting is top notch.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Mark does the best joker I have ever heard. I remember being blown away when I found out that Mark was the voice of that cartoon joker.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

I am officially claiming this game as the best batman game of all time(until they make a Arkham Asylum 2 game)

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

360 version is now up on XBL. It is also 500MB bigger than the PS3 demo.

[Tha_Kid]

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Found out on my own that the demo was on XBL, of course I forgot that my Gold subscription that ended on the 31st was a necessity to get to try the demo. I don't want to buy a month of Live for a demo ... again.

ahh its Batman though. $8 gone.
