Batman: Arkham Asylum

[Street Preacher]

Finished It the other month but only done 50% of itwhich is annoying.

Thought It was a cracking game, although slightly easy during fist fights etc.Scarecrow bit was genuinly scary when playing in the dark on me own.

there's a sneaky trailer of Arkham Asylum 2 on YouTube.

 

it gave me semi!

This game worth getting then?

 

Get my Xbox back on Monday from the repair place. Thinking of celebrating with a new game. £11 on playtrade, second hand.

 

Worth a dabble? it's this or Red Dead Redemption.

I'm the only one on the forum who thinks it's shit.

Red dead. But batman's definitely worth it too.

Food for thought.

 

Fancy both of them, trying to watch the pennies this month so I might go for Red Dead next payday. Been meaning to get Arkham for a while.

 

So I guess that's my mind made up.

Both are amazing games, it depends what time of game you like though. You'll get hours more entertainment out of red dead if you like the gta style of gaming.

 

My advice - buy both..

Arkham Asylum is much better than Red Dead, in my opinion!

[Lee909]

Arkham has alot to do outside the main part of the game aswell.

Riddlers quest is good,took a while the first time but its worth finishing,predator modes good aswell

[Mendoza]

12 quid in Sainsbury's at the moment. Think i'll have to buy it.

Batman: Arkham City

[Total Longo]

Harley Quinn. I would too.

[dirty_sanchez]

You was a dirty hoor in the first game. I was gutted that I didn't get to slot her with my batcock.

[Ted]

Can't wait for the second game.

[The Dude Abides]

Bit disappointed that it looks to be the same game as the first, only bigger. Even the Joker looks have the exact same role in this. Will still be great I'm sure. I just hope they get around to doing a more normal Batman/Gotham City story with this game engine somewhere down the line.

I bought this for peanuts the other day and, while it's far from dull, I don't see how it justifies the hype. Detective mode renders the whole thing too easy.

I too, can't wait for the 2nd game.

Don't play it in detective mode then!

I know - but it's there. I wish they just didn't have it.

[Rorschach08]

Lending my mates X-Box 360 at the moment specifically to play this game, playing it as a Batman fan rather than an avid gamer.

 

Absolutely loved it, love all the little nods to the comic books. Doubt you need to understand any of them to enjoy the game, but definitely adds something if you do.

 

Having said that, like Paul said above, it's too easy. Even as a casual gamer who had never used an X-Box before, I had completed the game and all the Riddler challenges within 3 days.

 

Brilliant while it lasted though and i'll definitely be borrowing it again for the next one!!

[Juniper]

Bought this the other day and I've been playing the odd hour here and there as I've got another game taking most my time up. Can't get into it yet. It's a little too easy to play.

 

I agree with Paul about the detective mode. Personally it's too tempting to use it as the game is really fast paced, it's almost too hyper I've found myself using it a lot on the times I've played it in order to keep moving to the next area quickly.

 

Might be a slow burner, but I just don't feel I want to hurry up and play this one and invest a lot of time in it.

 

Early impressions though.

My early impressions stuck and I never bothered to complete it. SOLD.

Anyone know where I can get the code for the 'Crime Alley' map download?

I bought the Collectors Edition of this game off Ebay but the aforementioned code has already been used and you can only use it once.

[RedinSweden]

I wasn't overwhelmed by this, but then it isn't the type of game i usually go for. The only similar style of game i have ever gone for was Half Life 2, which was just fantastic. I still haven't completed it and I prefer Infamous.

[Juniper]

I've not played it since my earlier post.

 

Waiting for Red Dead Redemption to arrive in the post now since I completed my last game. Just can't get into it at all right now.

 

Thing is I really want to like it.
