i've seen some vids, fighting looks quite good, trying to keep combos going but it involves actually being able to play it, rather than button mashing. so you can block and parry etc...

aha well remembered



edit: gave it a quick whirl this morning. it looks very pretty but i'm guessing it could get a bit repetitive. the hand to hand combat isn't that great, a bit of button bashing will get you through all the fights. there is nothing new in this game at all everything has been done before but this looks a bit more polished. i'd give it a 6/10 based on the demo. worth a rental maybe?

doesnt he have a utility belt that can cut his chains free allowing him to escape ?

or is he one of the nurses there looking after the patients ?
?
is his friend Robin in the game too ? , i like Robin "KAPOW!" when i was young i fell out of tree pretending to be Robin.
in the 70s i had big red velvet underpants i wore over a pair of my mams tights , i used to run up and down the yard for hours on end , getting chased by men with puppies driving in beige Ford Cortinas .

yeah but i was completely hooked and must have spent at least 24hrs on it.
It so good that i'm probably going to play it again on hard.

The fact that i actually finished it goes to show how good it is.

2 days is not bad for a single player game, most games are finished quicker than that if you hammer through them.

i'm really enjoying this. it's very nice to look at and really clever in the way you do the riddlers challenges. some of the fight sequences are just stunning, batman is a fucking badass. final did you do all the riddler or predator and fight challenges? some of them will take ages to suss out how to get gold medals

I finished on normal and i did all the riddles but i've only done a couple of challenges. my sister's boyfriend is borrowing it at the mo.

What part are you up to? A word of warning there is a part late in the game that will give you a scare and think that your game/console is fucked but don't worry is part of the game.

Downloadable content for the excellent Batman: Arkham Asylum will arrive in nine days time.

That's according to a message supposedly spotted on the in-game news ticker on the game's menu screen (see screenshot below from Joystiq).

If true, the DLC could be the PS3-exclusive Joker and pre-order exclusive challenge rooms heading to other platforms, but we've got our fingers crossed for some original goods.

We've fired up the game but haven't been able to see the aforementioned message ourselves. Perhaps Eidos will be able to shed some light?

Read the Batman: Arkham Asylum review - and if you already have, read it again.

UPDATE: An Eidos spokesperson has told CVG: "The in game infocast for Batman Arkham Asylum has teased about possible DLC but this is something we can't talk about right now.

All I can say is we wouldn't start a countdown clock for no reason :)"

Two Batman: Arkham Asylum DLC packs have been named and dated.

'Insane Night' and 'Prey in the Darkness' will arrive on September 17 and September 24 respectively, says the PlayStation Blog. As suspected, these are the pre-order and Collector's Edition challenge maps being made available to the punters who didn't fork out for a special box.
