Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) (Preview)
This year sees the 70th anniversary of the creation of the greatest comic book hero of all time (in my opinion), Batman. Bruce Wayne dons the rubber suit once again for an action packed game that is coming to PS3, Xbox 360 and PC…….
“We want to explore the psychology of the Batman character,” lead designer Sefton Hill told Gamespot. “Players should feel empowered by being Batman, and his ability to handle any given situation however he wants.” To this end, Hill and the team have endowed Batman with cool gadgets, nifty weapons, and raw athletic ability and then set him loose in a highly interactive world. And while that world is a prison filled with the worst of Gotham’s bad guys, this Batman most definitely makes a formidable hero.
The look of the game is impressive to say the least. The Unreal engine is working under the hood, but it’s virtually unrecognisable under the stylistic touches the team has added to the game. Hill described how the team used diving weights to achieve Killer Croc’s ambling movements, while there’s one person whose sole job it is to perfect the look of Batman’s floating cape. This sort of attention to detail is easy to appreciate onscreen.
Arkham Asylum is essentially a third-person action game, but we got to see many different gameplay elements during our visit to Rocksteady. The combat is based on hand-to-hand combat at the beginning of the game, and a combo system encourages you to link moves together to earn more points.
Overall the gameplay looks solid and the excitement is building for myself and many other Batman Fans out there. The game is scheduled for release according to Amazon
Hopefully we will be able to bring you more on this fabulous looking game in the coming weeks and months.
You can Pre-Order this game now from Amazon (£39.99 on XBox 360)

I think this game looks great. I have been a huge Batman fan since the comics came out and I always jump at the chance to play a new game, read a new comic, or see a new movie featuring the Caped Crusader. I believe each version of the superhero story has its merits, and is always interesting to see how they will interpret Batman in this each version. This one looks great, the graphics look top notch and as long as the storyline is consistent and believable, it will probably be a fun play.

When does this come out? Any chance of a review? This is one of the games I’m not actually sure about, and would like a few choice opinions, it’s not a preorder one for me.
