Batman: Arkham Asylum

[D3ads]

It's out now on PS3 and Xbox 360, PC version comes a month later with extra graphical polish. Apparently being rated as "the best comic book character game" ever.

Here's a couple of reviews;

Tried the PC demo on steam and gave up because the camera keeps spinning. I think it's because I have a joystick plugged in, but seriously, wtf? Since when is it acceptable for a game to assume you're using a joystick with no option to choose your controller ingame? Really stupid oversight on the part of the developers; I imagine it's a holdover from the console version that's not been suitably tailored for the PC version. I get really annoyed by niggles like this -- I'm not going to buy a game that forces me to go down the back of my PC and start pulling out cables every time I want a go.

Unplugged my joystick and it's pretty kickass. Nice to see a game with some real weight to the animations and combat; I particularly enjoyed gliding around and kicking people in the face

I've heard so much acclaim for this game I don't think I can avoid buying it. Best not disappoint.

I agree. But I'm not going to buy it... Not right away at least.

I donno, looks like a really solid game (and an Eidos game even!), but I'm just not that interested in it. Demo was nice but I kinda got enough from that already, and to be honest I'm kinda burned out on Batman. Might buy it sometime later tho.

Pretty much this. Demo was good but I'm just not pumped for it. Definitely grab it down the line.

i watched the gt review ... and i am definitely gonna get it now

He gets more damaged as the game progresses too, gotta love that touch, other than Max Payne 2/Resident Evil 2 I can't think of another game where the character model changes to accomodate damage received.

it changes alright ... but the prince really tears the cloth apart step by step all by himself if i remember correctly ^^

[D3ads]

I stand corrected...

No multiplayer or anything? Guess I'll wait until it's cheaper..
