Legend_in_blue Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 Why has no-one mentioned this one? 96% Games Master UK: Arkham Asylum is a game with the power to utterly captivate you and can stand proudly alongside modern classics such as "Resident Evil 4", "Gears of War," and "BioShock"...Simply put, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a masterpiece. [sept 2009, p.66 The demo is quite impressive. Who's tried it? Game released August 25.
Uncle Monty Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 Yeah why hasn't anyone mentioned it, there are loads of Batman bum boys around.
Scaramanga! Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 Played the demo a few days ago. It's pretty sweet, looks like my wallet shall be punished to purchase.
CKB Posted 12 August 2009 Posted 12 August 2009 Demo? didn't even bloody know! i shall be checking this out
Fox96 Posted 12 August 2009 Posted 12 August 2009 Finished Downloading Demo Earlier................ pretty impressed Love the sound of the puches....... you really hear the thud!
Legend_in_blue Posted 2 September 2009 Author Posted 2 September 2009 Well, is it impressive? Anyone got it? Rented it? It's on the ads quite a bit. Thoughts?
The Reverend Posted 2 September 2009 Posted 2 September 2009 Played the demo a few days ago, seemed quite good actually - I just dont like the idea that its the 'old' Batman, with his gay grey suit and the joker just looks like a cunt. If the character models were closer to the characters in The Dark Knight, i'd be all over it. I'll give it a go one day tho, it did seem good to be fair. I'm on Prototype at the minute, just got it today, £26 off Amazon, so thought I'd give it a go. Seems good so far. Really enjoying the free running, but I can imagine it getting quite tiresome. Done a few missions and its pretty cool though.

Sirloin Posted 3 September 2009 Posted 3 September 2009 This is excellent by the way. First game I've bought on my xbox for yonks and its definitely been worth it. Probably the best game I've played so far this year (mind you, that isn't saying much). The combat is nice, the stealth sections are fun and not too forced, and the little touches about the place are great too.

morris1234 Posted 16 September 2009 Posted 16 September 2009 absolutely brilliant game! best ive played since fallout, and kept me interested since fallout also! completed it today, finished all riddles etc too! think im going to whop it on ebay, anybody interested, mint condition!??
The Blur Posted 28 September 2009 Posted 28 September 2009 Bought it Hooked Enough Said p.s are the riddles hard? I only have a chance to play it for five minutes yesterday
Budweiser Posted 28 September 2009 Posted 28 September 2009 It looks quite a good game, from the demo anyway. Might purchase it when it drops to £20.
MC Prussian Posted 29 September 2009 Posted 29 September 2009 Just ordered my copy. Looking forward to it. Played the demo and I was quite surprised by how good it was. Comic book adaptations tend to be rather uninspiring and lifeless, but there's a lot of dedication put into this one and it reminds me of Metal Gear Solid to a certain extent. Great atmosphere and the graphics are ace.
CKB Posted 18 October 2009 Posted 18 October 2009 Completed this the other day, what a fantastic game! one of them games you wish was even longer, it's my fav game of the year i rate it that highly!! I hope they make a sequel which i think they will
The Reverend Posted 21 October 2009 Posted 21 October 2009 Game of the year, without a doubt. Absolutely fantastic, brilliant. A game that is plenty long enough when you do the riddles etc...and when you've done that you have the predator/combat challenges (which are rock hard by the way!). Ive completed the game now, done all the riddles, done all of the predator challenges, and got 16 combat challenges, but i'm giving up now, theyre too hard to get all of the medals! Gonna go thru it again on hard mode. Just a fantastic game.
Guest Posted 21 October 2009 Posted 21 October 2009 Just played the demo and think I may have to purchase it next month. Looks good

Gonna go thru it again on hard mode. Just a fantastic game. Agree with game of the year and yes it's long but i mainly buy games for the actual story so the side things don't really get a look in for me dunno why i'm like that but always have been! but i did solve like 75% of the riddles i think but that was mainly due to me doing them when playing the main story aswell
MC Prussian Posted 28 October 2009 Posted 28 October 2009 It's a brilliant game - it catches the atmosphere of the comic universe perfectly and there's a couple of places and scenes that really give me the shivers, it's that eerie. I've completed it, found all the riddles, but the challenges are quite hard. I hate those villains with sticks and those electric batons - takes me ages to knock one of them out.
