I have been a hug fan of the Arkham games and this game does not disappoint. The game plays pretty much the same as Batman: Arkham City with only a few gadgets changed around. It retains the same open world structure and you can even recognize a bunch of the same locations that are in City. The game is an origin story and you can see how people are scared of Batman at the beginning and slowly realize that he is there to help Gotham. The game focuses on a bunch of the lesser known villains in the story which I thought was cool. My only problem with the story being so early in the Batman fiction is the lack of easter eggs referring to other characters like the previous two games had. The story however was well done and did a good job of showing the beginnings of Batman and the villains of the universe.

Origins also added a multiplayer mode. The mode consists of two teams of player controlled grunts, controlled as third person shooters, that are trying to kill each other. There is then a third team of heroes (Batman and Robin from what I saw) who are trying to kill as many of the other guys to slowly build up the fear meter. The mode features typical call of duty style leveling and unlockables.

I think the Origins game is a great addition to the Arkham series though it does not add much new to the single player experience.
