Batman Arkham Asylum Demo

[philzibit]

This is just one part of a brutal August for me. This, Madden, Wolfenstein, and getting a new computer built.

This game kind of strikes me as almost like Splinter Cell, except with Batman. Not that Sam Fisher couldn't be Batman, because he totally could. The amount of, for lack of a better term, authenticity going into this game (the cast for the voice acting, the writers, etc) really gets your attention and makes you expect the best from this title.

Isn't there a collector's edition that has an actual Batarang?

yeah, the gamestop special edition comes with a real Batarang, that I'm sure will be broken if thrown

I'm downloading it, but my connection isn't the best, so a 1GB demo is gonna take me about 5, maybe 6 hours. It's not fair...

Looking forward to it though.

That would be Mark Hamill, aka. luke skywalker. He did the joker for years on batman the animated series.

mind = blown

I never knew that.

Mark Hamill's back as the Joker? Awesome! I guess he's not as comically insane as he was in the animated series, though.

I really enjoyed it. I hope the combat gets more complex as the game progresses. The atmosphere in the game is phenomenal. Actually feels like you're in the 90's cartoon. Its very authentic.

I know, it takes me back to the good old days of sitting around on a Saturday morning watching cartoons.

I've been playing it all morning. First of all the Voices are awesome with the original Batman and Joker (original to me at least as I grew up on the cartoon), and after replaying it I noticed that the dialogue changes slightly each time (not the cutscenes) so if youend up replaying a bit it's not the same lines again, and again, and again, and again, and again. I liked the combat, and on my second play through I got the hang of it so I could complete the demo without taking any damage.

I'm looking forward to this game, and might even get the special edition that gomes with a FREAKN' BATARANG! I also can't wait to try out playing as the Joker as well.

Just making sure, but you know Joker is playable only on PS3 right?

Did it finish downloading for you?

IT'S OUT ALREADY?! OH MY GOD! [when is the game released? anyone know?]
Too lazy to turn on the Xbox. I'll download it "When it's done". Oh yes, you'll know the meaning when you are finally enlightened, which is, "when it's done".

It's released the 25th, in America at least, not sure bout other countries.

Great demo, but I wish after completion I could just have that last room to play through seperately.

I restart from last checkpoint when I finish the last guard.

 

[Pandalisk]

the demo was great if rest of the game is like this im definatly getting this game.

 

[MalevolentJim]

I thought it was ok.The stealth was good and the combat worked well,and i adored the voice acting.Mark Hamill is a great voice actor!

My problem with it was it didn't "feel" like a Batman game,more like Splinter Cell with a cape.

And Nipples.

Calm yourself . I have a PS3. The Joker bit will probably be a little tacked on extra, but still.

That was awesome, the detective vision is pretty sweet though the lack of Robin is a shame.

 

[FastFoot92]

I liked it but it was really annoying the way you only get batarang and in the gameplay triler he had explosive gel and other v.cool gadgets

Oh and the stealth is awesome
