Batman Arkham Asylum

[Max Payne]

I do have a question that Dacon'd probably be best to answer - since this is based on the comics, is the game considered canon?


X

Don't think so, but it is written by the guy responsible for the animated series and many of the comics.

He created Harlequinn.

How many easter eggs did you guys find? I've found quite a few

 

[Russell]

It isn't out until Friday here, is it worth getting?

I'd rather have the opinion of a few average players instead of a professional reviewer.
(Unless it's yahtzee )

 

[Max Payne]

Definitely worth it.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

The full game makes the makes the demo seem bland by comparison. I mega recommend it.

Pretty much. Demo has none of the exploration, boss fights, and awesome character moments.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

The difference in Detective Mode is that in the demo, you feel like a kid with x-rays specs and a magnifying glass. In the game, you feel like Cyborg Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.

But the demo is part of the game, right? The beginning.

 

[Max Payne]

It's a very, very, very shortened bit from the beginning. The interactive intro is completely cut out.

Also, I have to add that I love freeflow combat. Taking out eight thugs in one seamless combo breaking bones and throwing people into electric fields is insanely fun without being button mashing nonsense. The amount of content in this game is pretty impressive, and I love that my Batman/DCU knowledge is coming in handy for the riddles.

Hi, I'm scarecrow, just adding a little mindfuck to your game

 

[Max Payne]

Btw whoever had the idea of adding patient tapes needs a bonus.

 

[Russell]

Great, methinks I'll be getting this tomorrow.

 

[Interslicery]

The whole game just reaks of polish. they really did their work on this one, and its one of the few games I'm glad that they delayed it.

For once we are wholeheartedly in agreement. Best game I've played this year so far.

 

[Max Payne]

This game was fucking awesome. Finally one of my dreams has been fulfilled.

Need sequel. Right fucking now.

 

[DNA]

A GOOD super-hero game? lolwut

 

[Max Payne]

An AWESOME super hero game that does justice to the characters in it.

 

[Alex]

Yeah I bought this today, pretty damn awesome.

 

[DNA]

Might pick up tomorrow then.

 

[Max Payne]

The game is chock full of easter eggs for Batman fans. I can't believe they payed this much attention to the source material.

 

[Max Payne]

Also,

Spoiler

for those of you who solved the riddle in Dr. Young's office, go back right before the final battle, and you'll get a nice surprise.

 

[Alex]

So yeah I'm notoriously hard to please with games and I'm fucking loving this.

A+ Recommended seller.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Ok, So right now, I'm dealing with Ivy and have decided to grab a few of the Riddler trophies that I hadn't gotten yet

Spoiler

especially since I got to go back to Intensive Treatment.

. I've got a couple questions.

Does someone have / can they poast the room / locations of the Riddler maps? I'm doing my game w/o a strategy guide, so the ones I've found've been really helpful, and I've managed to figure out almost everything else so far as long's I've got the little "?'s" on the minimap.

Also - for the destroyable walls that are off the ground: Is there a gadget that you get to deal with those, or is there a technique to deal with them?

Spoiler

I just got thne zip-line thing.

Thanks in advance.


So currently:

Spoiler

I'm going towards the elevator to go kick Scarecrow's ass, since he made my game reset, and replay all fucked up (was amazing) and I fought a bunch of skeletal henchmen / titan guys, and came to and saw the real henches taken out. SO fucking epic.

There's a gadget for dealing with those that you get a little later on

 

[Cookie Monster]

Lol, I've never seen anything make Dacon squee like a little fangirl. This game must be perfect.

Picking up my copy tonight.

 

[Alex]

I wouldn't say perfect, the story isn't top quality and the game feels like its over too soon.

Plus I was expecting way more villains from the Batman universe to appear in more than just cameo appearances.

But its well worth playing ASAP, the brilliant gameplay dispels most of the negatives.

 

[Max Payne]

I thought the story was great.

I love this game. I have a few minor quibbles but it was awesome.
