Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo Impressions
I played the demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend (twice) and really loved it.It has a great mix of fighting, stealth and puzzles all wrapped in a dark, gritty Batman story. The fighting is simple but there are some combos, blocking, and take-downs. Batman feels like you’d expect, super strong, but not invincible. A lot of the game seems stealth focused with you being able to get up in the rafters and move around quietly to get the drop on unexpected enemies. The puzzles come in when you use your ‘detective mode’ to see weak spots in the walls, loose grates, and grapple points. What makes it so great is that all of these parts work so seamlessly together. Plus, the graphics look really nice and the audio seemed well done. From the demo and the trailers it looks like all the classic Batman villains are in the game. I’m really looking forward to playing the full game when it releases.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
