Batman: Arkham Asylum

[Ultimates]

Review has been up a few days!

and reading this has me WAY more excited!

 

[Grocer Man]

Man, I want this game, but I don't have a PS3 or 360 and I don't think a single game warrants buying one.

I keep watching spoiler vids on Youtube and being amazed. The final

Spoiler

Scarecrow dream sequence

is insane.

Darn it.

Oh my god, this game is great.

It really is.

As I've said to Venom and I think TOG, this is hands down one of the greatest games, ever. And THE best Batman game, ever.

I haven't played any other Batman games.

That's exactly what he wants you to think.

 

[SSJmole]

Sweet. I will be checking this out tonight. I left off last night right before the scarecrow.

Cool beans,

you deal with Scarecrow more than once,

Spoiler

I'm currently on my third, and most disturbing encounter.

Anybody else disappointed by Joker's overall scheme? Y'know,

Spoiler

make a bunch of monsters and have them attack Gotham.

I mean, the game is amazing and awesome and Bat-perfect and everything, but Joker's whole scheme just seemed so...pedestrian. Maybe I just don't know the character well enough, or something.

Kinda sorta, but that's Dini's MO with the Joker. It's pretty much one zany scheme after another. He (Dini) seems to have a great grip with the mythos and with Batman himself, but his Joker seems to lean too much towards cartoonish capers.
