Arkham City
Yeah. Um. I still have a loooong way to go before I complete Batman: Arkham Asylum, but I couldn't resist going for the highly-rated follow-up, Arkham City, when it appeared as a Black Friday Lightning Deal on Amazon. Only $28. And I managed to snag one! I'm looking forward to tinkering with it. But... Gosh. Take a look at my brief notes below about Arkham Asylum. That was written... hmmm... almost two years ago? Seriously? Yikes.
Yep. I'm still at 3% complete on that one.
In the Game
Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)
Grade 10/10
I finally gave into the temptation and picked up Batman during a post-holiday sale (and with a gift card). Wow! This one's superb; it's really impressed me as a game and as a PS3 experience.
Having managed to unlock the PS3 Home Batcave (thanks to a little help from the Web), that bonus item has, in turn, introduced me to the extravagance of PS3 Home, a system feature I had left untouched until this incentive came along.
As for the game itself, it's on par with that "game changing" experience I had with RE4 on Wii. The fluidity of the action, the investigative mode, the gadgets and upgrades, the characters... It really is an opportunity to live in Batman's world.
I thought I was on cruise control, taking on challenges, downing opponents, and navigating through the asylum as if I was back in my old stomping grounds. After a few hours of playtime though, I've come to find out I've completed only 3% of the game!
