Forums - Nintendo - A biased review: Batman: Arkham Origins (Wii U)

Well, at least it isn't Batman and Robin bad!

I prefer Keaton myself. I grew up thinking Batman's arch nemesis was the circus. Well, every circus.

Also, dat Elfman score.



This is my least favorite game I have for the console. It's not nearly as polished as the other two. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bad game, just so very mediocre and uninspired. Clear cash grab.

Easily the weakest Arkham game. Most people on internet prefer city but i like the original, Arkham Asylum. It had more simplistic, linear design. Open world games have a big problem with narrative. They tell you the world is in grave danger and you need to hurry up to save it. Then they go ahead and try to distract you with side missions one after another. That was a comment on both city and origins. The original had better pacing and metroidvania ish design.



Yikes, you really didn't like it! You should still try Arkahm City though. That game was really good.

Judging from your post in my other review thread, your perception is about three full points off. So what you consider "really good" is really "pretty bad".

Maybe the Wii U is ruining the experience for you. Third party games on the Wii U are usually not as good as the other versions.

I actually found the first Arkham game very good. It's too bad you started offf with the worst entry in the entire series. I'd like to finish Batman AA, but since it doesn't work on Windows Live anymore, I probably won't...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Yeah... no. Even with a stable framerate, this game would still be a 4, because a polished turd is still a turd.


Yeah, rol, somebody had to say the bat is naked! I heard only good things about those batman games on forums, so I got an Arkham city WiiU. Oh, God, its just a BAD game in its concept... Like a dull grey gta with small world, terrible missions, BAD fighting system and a freaky bat protagonist. This series are waay overhyped on a game forums.

That sounds like something AVGN would say



Why are you doing this, Anakin? You're breaking my heart!
