Batman Asylum

[VeinAST]

Downloading now, hoping to be impressed with the gameplay and graphics, I'll be a happy chappy if so.

Fantastic game.

Only thing is camera mentioned before and interactivity with the environment is not 100% but the graphics are superb and I like the story line so far

 

[lasbazrre]

It's alright! ( PS3 demo )

So so graphics , the thing that got on my tits was , if you got spotted and the convicts had a gun , you just had to take hits untill you got to em , it felt really slow , maybe a Bat shield will be later on.

 

[clio_mad]

What version have people downloaded it on? PS3 or Xbox?

I've had to download the ps3 demo as my live has run out.

 

[GarethM]

played it the other night, was very good, dont like the camera though,far too close to Batman

 

[Brazo]

I can't understand why everyone is raving about the graphics they are ok just another Unreal engined game, huge arms and shoulders all round

 

[GarethM]

lol ^^

 

[BRUN]

demo is good but its not a perfect game and ive only played it for 15 mins, the camera can be annoying and he moves far too slowly, get spotted and your shot a few times before you can attack someone, then while you take them out someone else kills you

also are their any medi packs or anything as once i get shot im pretty much fooked

Crouching and grappling everywhere adds to the stealthiness and aids not getting shot.

 

[clio_mad]

Good demo, finished it in about 15 mins though, I think it'll be one for me to purchase!

 

[Snakey]

Demo's pretty good, Harley Quinn is quite the chick.

Loving perching on the statues taking out the bad guys one buy one, makes you feel like you are Batman

Just hope it doesn't get to repetetive

 

[Scutch]

I quite liked it. Took me a couple of attempts to get past the many henchmen after coming out of the vent, but finished it in the end.

 

[sneeks]

I enjoyed the silent takedown of the 3 henchmen after the first vent.

 

[Scutch]

Yeah the first vent takedowns were good, and easy. It was the one's after that which got me. The f*ckers had machine guns.

 

[BRUN]

yup me too, the other room took quite a few attempts

im just worried if i bought the game, all these stealth take downs would get repetitive, no real action

 

[sneeks]

I like the stealth aspect of the game and will definitely buy it. I cleared the second room of henchmen on the second attempt. If you are spotted swing around the room as quick as possible and they lose track of you.

 

[Scutch]

There's a lot more to the game than the stealth shown in the demo. You have to solve games with clues and more detective work etc.

It will be great, and the demo was just a small indication of what will be on offer.

 

[riles79]

alright scutch didnt know you were a member on here,

this game looks awesome can wait for it to be released

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Tried the demo this arvo & thought it was great tbh.
Defo needs plenty of straight up fighting with the henchmen as there seem so many different ways of fighting them.
The stealth & detective side of things should help with the longevity should is a bonus.
Visually it is spot on, very comic book....a big thumbs up from me

To be fair its had cracking reviews, a 9/10 from Gamespot and they count!

TBH I think its just me who didin't enjoy the demo :dapprove:

 

[Scutch]

Know what you mean mate, but even some of the review houses were disappointed with the demo and loved the full game.

 

[VeinAST]

I shall be getting Friday

 

[Brand86]

Haven't played the demo but everyone is raving about the game. I am sure the franchise itself adds a lot to it though.

As my 360 is currently with our German brothers being repaired though, I'm going to have to wait!

Tbh of course it's the franchise but I've personally found the demo a great intro to what looks to be an even more promising game

 

[Rhino172]

12 hours for the main story aparently but it's got the chalenge modes and riddles throughout the game With the riddler to unlock bonus content like artwork and stuff so should be rather good.

Not sure why some peeps took several attempts at the demo though??? I nailed it first time without getting spotted at all or dying lol

I've got Friday off work so may pop into town and pick this up if I get a chance been looking forward to it for a while now.

 

[VeinAST]

Playing on this now

 

[Rhino172]

Played quite a bit today. Just got upto where you get the explosive gell stuff. Playing through on normal and finding it really quite easy at the moment. Got a shed load of the riddlers trophys and solved loads of his riddles already. Vey clever some of them but some are shockingly easy. Good fun game though. Only thing missing for me is a bit of blood and gore as there is litterelly none.

+1 is a 15 too! Im quite a bit further but it's so good it's unreal

 

[nobblebonce]

ivee found some trophies, but not riddles, where are these, altho im still in the cells

have i missed any riddles

 

[Rhino172]

You don't find out about the riddle till later then you can go back and get the ones you've missed

 

[nobblebonce]

does the riddler tell about his riddles or do u have to find em yourself

 

[Seedy172]

Looks ok, anyone played it yet?

Im 18% the way through it, very good game.

Got it in Asda for £37,71 this evening as I wasnt bothered about saving a couple quid elsewhere.

 

[Lee]

I'm 32% in now. It just gets better and better. I can't stop playing it. This was a real off the radar surprise for me. Film license usually equates to s**t.

Paid £31.45 from Tesco, with discount.

 

[sneeks]

Can't wait to play this on Tuesday

 

[Plummer]

Looks average. :boring:

Looks like so many other games..
(many of which have already been mentioned)

 

[Scutch]

I'm 12% through. Just beat the weirdo (Banes I think?) where I had to dodge his runs and batarang him, then rip out his power leads.

Really enjoying it so far. Also bought Shadow Complex on XBLA, which is also bang on.

 

[Gareth]

I like it, I'm going to buy an Elite and this to go with it.

 

[dk]

is the full game better than the demo?

 

[Scutch]

Yes. Much better.
