PRESENT
After years of unsatisfactory Batman Games, Eidos showsArkham Asylum, a game of superheroes amazingly brilliant as always. Batman has always been near and dear to my heart as an avid reader of comics and games have always been under par. But see the end of August has brought a revolutionary new Batman game in a unique environment that has, from the depths of nothingness: increase Batman: Arkham Asylum.
The start-up
The opening scene is dark and black, the rain pours on the Batmobile, which, in the city of ArkhamAsylum, a psychiatric hospital for insane criminals of Gotham. From the entrance, with the Joker in hand, followed a few guards and into the depths of Arkham, where interesting. It seems that the Joker had intended from the beginning, and challenge her captors and took control of the asylum. The clash began with a brief introduction of the new movement (TM) combat system, the fight against multiple thugs and progress through the site for severalPeople and things. They learn quickly on the way to detective where the prisoners can see through walls, paths followed by different substances, and find other things hidden, such as openings and low walls. This is a simple game to come, and can be well played by both hardcore and casual gamers.
Gameplay
Of all the superhero games I played, I must admit that it is the best. It has never been a love of detail, background stories and characters in aComic-based game. I've always been an avid reader until Batman († Rest in peace, Dark Knight), and knowledge, Batman and Gotham, the team in my family and friends. The game looks like the classic adventure game in the third person action / RPG with some elements. Play as Batman, go through the struggles of the inhabitants of the asylum, solve puzzles and progress through the story, to remember the Joker in Arkham Asylum and his accomplices. Do it in battlewith an internal database, a kind of punch and the rate of absence of free movement of struggle and the counters are grounded. Have you started your Battarang and recover the ability to stun enemies and cast hit with false teeth chattering toys Battarang research. Just to know their way of detectives, which is a change in your eyes, showing different things has already been mentioned. It 'very useful if you're stuck somewhere in a room where once the enemies to see, or if you want to walkto find hidden things. In some places they used to track a substance like alcohol in the air, blood printed and hand to meet people on the ground seems to have much to do.
Unlike previous games of Batman Arkham Asylum and the stealth fighter mixture investigative work in a high level. The Stealth is great, but sometimes it feels as if you were completely invisible to both should not be. Around the asylum, where gargoyles comfortableYou can save up to fight, to observe a zone and killing of prisoners in isolation, but hopefully they read. To make enemies unconscious (Batman does not kill people) in Stealth, you can kick the controls of a jet of water or an overhead structure down and make a move or slip and make a sort stifling silence. If the prisoners captured by the army, hiding in the shadows and the prevention of strokes that can be a heavy burden to be reduced.
Since 1948, the Riddler (Edward Nigma) wasPuzzles and references to Batman in his meticulously planned crime. Puzzle Arkham Asylum and trophies and was a bonus, is that if you feel a way to break the story and some research and puzzles. Whether collecting trophies and solve puzzles to gain experience, you will also neutralize the inmates and officers. is reached after long experience, the level and get an update, improvements include new weapons like Sonic Battarang, newcombat moves, arms in the air. No updates are essential to the game, as this is necessary to get update this part of the game, But it is very useful.
Progressing in the game, you meet a lot of classic characters like Joker, Riddler, Commissioner Gordon, Scarecrow. Scarecrow plays an interesting game aspects of psychoactive gas. If you do not know Scarecrow (real name: Jonathan Crane, a psychiatrist specializing in anxiety)uses a variety of toxins that people hallucinating their worst fears are real and they are doing. In the game you reach your gas several times to change the space begins, things start to distort the movement and the music plays a stranger when you go to the ignorance of terror. As you go through his hallucinations, at a time or event, where to avoid going to Scarecrow. Grows exponentially, and you should hide and run, what he looks for in a round version irregularinstitution. This adds a touch of the game more fun and only takes a few steps from the normal.
In addition to common history, you can use the Challenge mode. Challenge mode is a series of challenges to unlock short, the fight against detainees by dots and the other secret detainees should intervene in time. While the struggle of the prisoners, you gain points through combos, and special schools have Downs, and the challenges that prisoners armed stealth removed as quickly asbecame possible with different techniques. When you are finished, the points are added up and submitted to the online leaderboards. Challenge mode is a welcome addition if you want to hone your skills and take a break in history.
Overall, the game is phenomenal, and Eidos has finally got a good game of Batman. Only a couple of bugs in the game and do not appear too often. In some places, there is no clear indication of the procedure and reduceslooking around everywhere, trying to understand or remember what to do. Besides this, there is not much to complain about Arkham Asylum.
Audio / Graphics
The sound of Batman: Arkham Asylum is fantastic, with a great voice actor and environmental sounds, like music Scarecrow at events. Good to see that not one of the voice actors as the last film (Heath Ledger apparently not answer the phone) and instead went with thefantastic voice actors from the Emmy in 1990 for outstanding animated series Batman: The Animated Series. It seems to be a general lack of interest among stakeholders in the movies, the voice of the games are in great demand. Besides singing, music and ambient sounds are wonderful, making every drop of heavy water, fight and score only adds to the joy of the game.
As far as the graphics go, Arkham Asylum is one of the best games we had last year. The birth of the asylumhard and rigid, and the darkness around the game adds so much depth. The characters are strong, and the feelings seem to be alive in some places. The movement is fluid, and overall the game looks great.
