Batman Arkham Asylum

[Jam]

Don't like the art style but the gameplay looks good, so I'l give this a rent.

[Neil]

Meh, too stealthy, don't like it, wont bother buying or renting this.

The only reason there's so much hype around this game is because of The Dark Knight, yet it's styled on the cartoon.

Misawa, you may be right about the hype thing but if youve read the graphic novel of Arckham Asylum youd know its an exceptionally dark, melancholy piece of work. More so than TDK.

The darkest (and best) Batman flicks have been Batman and Batman Returns. I long for a game based on those.

I like it, it's intense and you get to plan and stuff.

Oh its just lost its appeal.

Not plan plan, just work out guard patterns and get into the right position.

Well, I'll take some of what I say back after playing it. It's definitely a lot darker that I expected and in the UK it's got a 15 certificate, so that's a good thing. The demo is pretty cool and aesthetically it looks really good, but I'll wait for reviews on the full game before thinking about purchasing it.

Knowing that Mark Hamill voiced the Joker is insane. You could never distinguish that it was him in a million years. And Commissioner Gordon looks stupid.

[Fez]

And Commissioner Gordon looks stupid.

His old looks conflict with his physique, it's mind-boggling on how he looks that way. In the comic books he always looks frail and old, but wise and supportive. The guy who voices him too doesn't sound right, if you know what I mean.

I'm a fan of the animated series so when I heard Hamill was voicing Joker in this, I thought it was awesome. It's really weird though after having Heath's voice in my head, I have to go back to Hamill. They're both excellent performances though.
