Lets get one thing straight, i can't say i am really a batman fan. But i am absolutely impressed by this video game as a attempt to renew faith in any DC game. Who ever the design team was behind arkham asylum, i assume that they worked really hard to get their college degrees and were hired for a reason.
This game does the classic batman justice in anyway or shape or forum. I used to watch the batman animated series when i was younger. Because the voice acting and animation is top notch.
Anyway my opinion on this game, everything seems rather well balanced, the enemys are pretty cool to fight, There is very little variety here but it doesn't seem to bog the player down because the game is so busy giving you updates and trying to catch the joker. The boss fights are actually alot of fun, Obvious patterns here. But the scarecrows has to be the funnest boss fight in a action/adventure game.
There really isn't any frustration in this game, it always seems to be Continuing a perfect balance and pace along the way, you never find a Room that's too big or useless. it never feels like its trying to Extend stage time.
The Riddler puzzles are a blast, i don't understand some of the negative comments people have left based on the riddlers commentary whenever you get a trophie. this adds to the video game, its the riddler. Of course he's going to act cheesy, it keeps the situation somewhat light and prevents the game from Being too serious.
Well, i have only a few complaints. Killercroc boss fight is F ing annoying. you aren't allowed to use that Hookshot device, the developers didn't want you to speed threw this, so they make killer croc instantly reappear from the water to catch you.
It feels annoying to half to start all that way back. while it can be suspenseful, it was pretty glitchy a few times to see batman STILL standing on a wooden board after killer croc had fallen into the water from a failed capture and then it would give me a Game over screen.
The unreal engine only really shines during the wonderful cutscences. While the game looks excellent, it seems like some of the environments need anti-aliasing pretty badly. but you never run into a Muddy or cheap texture. Everything otherwise seems wonderfully inspired.
My last issue, was the Final boss fight. The game felt the need to take you out as fast as possible and only give you a small clue to what is in the next video game.
Anyway, cheers. Great Game! Renewed my faith in Eidos and I can't wait for arkham asylum 2.
