Batman: Arkham Asylum

[THE LIZARD#1]

Spoiler

What are your guy's thoughts on the secret endings?

I think Croc would make the most sense to steal the Titan formula. In the comics, Croc is persistent in finding ways to make money in order to fund a cure for his disease. That is, if they decide to make him take that route, however they could have Croc be comfortable with his current predicament and use the Titan formula to transform other people into grotesque monsters such as himself.

I think I like Scarecrow getting it more than Bane or Killer Croc. One because the two of them are already big enough and two because Crane wouldn't use it on himself, he could find a way to mix it with his fear gas to make it more powerful.

Spoiler

Yeah, after the credits, there are three different endings. They all are the same, just different characters.

I was just happy to see that Crane wasnt offed by Croc. If there is to be another game, i want Jonathan Crane to have a big role, bigger than what he had in this past game.

Yeah, I liked the Scarecrow ending because of the 3 he was the one I wasn't sure about being alive. Bane can survive being hit by a car, Croc was yelling up at Batman so he is fine, Scarecrow was pulled under the water by Croc and never seen again, it was good to know he was alright (And probably pretty pissed). I'm with ProjectPat, I want him to have a big role in the sequel.

god I want to click those spoilers but I have not played the game yet.

 

[roach]

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha they arent anything major, but still, i wouldnt click em if you havent played the game yet.

 

[Sparta*]

gotta say i'm lovin this game. Just got to Bane last night...

 

[Gallagher]

Scarecrow parts remind me of old-school Resident Evil crossed with some MGS2 style mind-****s.

I ****ing love them.

 

[BlackLantern]

I like the design on Scarecrow...I think he would look better with the hat though

I was not a fan of Poison Ivys design....the vine skin didn't look good at all, I know there are various designs of Ivy but I do prefer her looking normal with the green acoutrement

I freaked out when the screen flipped out and froze and then it seemed like the game was starting over. I started screaming obscenities at my 360 until I saw the Joker driving the Batmobile. Then I thought "the hell?"

Great sequence wasn't it? It was a very clever move on the designers part.

Yeah that part was awesome, the whole game is awesome!!!up:

 

[Silverstein]

Seriously? A guiness world record? I think that's a little much. It's a good game, but back in like 99/'00 the same could have gone to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2... And before that Spider-Man (PSX) got rave reviews all around. I decided that I wouldn't say anything to upset....fans, but I think much of the acclaim has to do with people just liking Batman.

Yeah? Well maybe I don't really wanna know how your garden grows, 'cause I just wanna fly.

I had no idea what to even think. It was one of the smartest things I've seen done in a game.

Did anyone else notice the corpse with Ra's name on it is gone if you go back to Dr. Young's office later on?

Man, I was freaking when the screen started glitching up... I couldn't believe it.

ya i think it was just a marketing ploy for the game. I mean its way too specific, cuz the record was something like the best "batman" game. Thats like awarding a record everytime they make a better zelda game. But w/e, they gotta do w/e to get the game off the shelves and noticed. At least they game is good, wouldve been lame if it won the record yet got like 7s on ign.

A breaking down the 4th wall thing? Eternal Darkness (for Gamecube) did it first.

The Guinness record takes those games into account, as it covers the entire comic book video game genre. The previous holder was MVC2. AA just beat it out. There's no bias here, let's congratulate the team, eh?

i was kind of expecting it after hearing

Spoiler

"Did anyone watch the game last night?" i was like "the hell? the whole asylum is in danger and you are asking about a game? thats ****ed up" but then i thought scarcrow=weird ass nightmares, weird=****ed up.......so yeah.....to bad 360 only had joker at that part......ha.....middle stick.

I completed this game yesterday. It is the best Batman game yet, and I know that's not saying alot considering the past games, but they really nailed it.

This is what Batman is. Fantasy, comic booky, badass, and sleek. I don't think the new movies are capturing any of that since they shoot for the realism bit (the movies are good, but it's not Batman to me). I love the story line in this game, Joker is great (Mark FTW), and Scarecrow was awesome too. His look was...meh at first. But it grew on me. I wish he didn't have those things on his face. I also chuckle at the Freddy Krueger hand. Obvious inspiration.

This game would be okay and fun with just the sneaky stuff, and the gadgets etc. But what makes it amazing is the fighting, which I have to say is some of the best fighting I've played in a game. It feels different everytime, it flows well and I feel in control. Wolverine and Batman put out two of the best comic book games this year. Congrats.

By the way, give us a 1989 suit!

Never played it since I didn't have a gamecube, so I was blown away with this.

actually the X-men game for Genesis did something similar, in the Mojo level you have to actually reset the system to progress the level
