Looking forward to seeing how this is received after the surprise success that Arkham Asylum had.

hopoe its more badassery than arkham asylum

 

[wallenb]

it already looks better than the first one. the scale of the game alone should be enough to buy. I think of assassins creed type of level design ... but your batman and thats alot better

 

[Teimurazor]

I can't wait for demo. I can even play this little sandbox area for the month before game release.

If they can recreate the atmosphere and enhance the combat system enough as well as keeping the flow of the original then i dont see why not. Just hope they dont shoot themselves in the foot by trying to much, going to large scale and trying to introduce to many characters.

Yeah about the bad guys, i wonder if its going to give you full access of the city from the start and let you track down any baddy that you want. And i hope they have weapons or gadgets that are set with the same scale like more than 3 plastic explosives at once so you can level a block or somethin

 

[Teimurazor]

I'm sure that Bats isn't going to level blocks.
Tho he can now spray it on baddies back

Another review has came out, which is from a German magazine called Play 3, where the reviewer gave the game a score of 92%.

I couldnt find their score of Arkham Asylum but the lowest score it got on Metacritic was 80%.

 

[Teimurazor]

hey ChaosRaiden, AC got another 92/100 from Console.at.
EDIT:
And 97% from GameMaster UK
And 92% from ConsolPlus

New review: Game Informer gave the game a perfect score.

 

[Dark Drakan]

Shame that apparently Scarecrow likely wont appear in the new one according to sources, they were some of the best parts of the previous game. Some good scores coming in though and look forward to seeing the mass verdicts.
