Batman: Arkham Asylum Trailer - Demo

A trailer for the forthcoming demo - a little overkill perhaps...

For hands on previews of what we've played of the game so far, click here for parts 1 and 2 of the game, and here for parts 3 and 4. Or, if you don't fancy doing the suggested reading, then just be aware that the game is looking nifty.

The full game is due for release on August 28th.

This game is not a 'Hack and Slash.' I will admit, the controls can be repatative at times; however, trying to use different combos and different abilities to defeat your enimies is part of the fun. Using the Explosive Gel was one of my favorite ways to knock out some of the unsuspecting henchmen. Also many of the reviewers are saying that the detective mode and the riddles are destracting, I beg to differ. In my opinion, the Riddler's Challage was a great addition to the game. It allows one to test their knowledge of the Batman universe. I personally loved them. This game was phenominal, especially for a 'fanboy' such as myself. 9/10

To post number 32 obiviously you have not really played the game if you think just pushing the same buttons over will get you past hard mode.  I mean the control scheme is simple, but use it to the full extent is kind of hard.  If you play normal or easy then you use the same [#@!?] over and over, but if you play hard you pretty much have to use most of batman ablities and use you brain more to defeat the baddies.  I mean yes the bosses were kind of repeative, and i was kind of expecting more villians seeing how this is arkham asylum, and you didn't get to drive the batmobile.  And the biggest disappointment no joker on the 360 :(, but overall it was good game and good story i would have gaven it a 8 1/2

Arkham Asylum is a great game, but a little extra would have pushed it up to a 9.  The stealth gets better as it goes along, but the process of jumping onto gargoyles and swinging incessantly between them is just comical - and I don't think they were aiming to replicate the 60's TV series.

I just wantd to say that this review is spot on.  This is a hack and slash game, I beat it on hard mode the first time pressing X, X, X, A throughout most of the game.  I feel like the boss charactors were recycled over and over with the exception of the last female boss.  Detective mode is destracting and ruins the landscape as it was active most of the time to find hidden items.  This is not a bad game by any means; however I feel that people think it deserves a score of 9-10 simply because batman is in it.  The theme and textures are well done.  most of all the game accomplished what it needed to: made me feel like a cape wearing enforcer.  Total videogames has my respect, as they refrained from being a fanboy and rated the game fairly.

'Hack and Slash' as its used above may be a little too generalised a term in that respect I suppose. All I meant was that its gameplay format has a lot in common with the likes of God of War or Prince of Persia.

Of course, Batman doesn't actually use knives in the combat and sticks to his fists the whole time, so perhaps 'action/adventure title' would be a more technically correct description, although that then has the problem of being too vague.

Seriously though anonymous posyer No.30, you might want to relax a little. You sound like an enraged school teacher over a fairly innocent issue.
