Around the Network

It feels kind of repetitive; grapple up on a gargoyle, glide kick, take down, repeat.



Is this gonna be the first good Batman game since the NES?

graphics arent amazing imo, they are good though, and the gameplay is fun, the storyline is the major driving force for this game imo

For an Unreal enginge game not made by Epic..they are amazing...

Isn't that kind of premature? You forgot all of Batman's villains you have to fight in the game (where I doubt you could just smash, stealth, grapple and beat them)...also, figuring out the puzzles and the added gadgets you will acquire as you go through the game makes me think it won't be repetitive.

We've only seen the beginning of the game



Being in 2nd feels so much better than being in 3rd

It would be harder to believe the game doesn't dig a little deeper than what was displayed in a 15 minute demo, but it's a lot easier to write off if you don't have any particular interest in the DC/Batman universe.

But if that was the case, I'm not even sure why anyone would feel obligated to voice an opinion about something they didn't care about.

I wasn't planning on buying the game until after I played the demo. Visually, it's one of the best uses of the Unreal Engine, including Gears 2.

From a story angle, it looks to be a solid screen play based very loosely on the classic Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, with solid voice acting by a cast of VO actors from the animated shows.

Game play is quick to pick up, fun and combat is visceral. I found myself playing the demo multiple times which is a rarity for me.
