Well if you havent figured out what this blog is about well its about Batman:AA and my impressions of it after beating it early this week

First off this game is the best superhero game EVER!!!! Usually Batman doesnt have a good reputation with video games(even movies before the dark knight all the batman movies sucked and you know it too) but Rocksteady Studios has ushered in a new age of batman.
When you were a kid(or in my case early teens) you probably watched Batman: The Animated Series on Cartoon Network and if you were like me you loved that show and watched almost every episode. Well let me tell you Batman:AA is just like the show but more dark. Every voiceover from the show first off is in Batman AA which includes the Dark Knight himself and brilliant Joker voice(voiced by Luke Skywalker i believe?) Trust me im not gonna lie some of the stuff in this game could belong in a M rated game. In the game you can collect audio logs of all the characters in this game and trust me all the villians have some VERY twisted tapes. The one that struck me the most was Zszash(i know spelled his name wrong) dude there are five audio logs and you can collect and each one of Zszash's got more and more dark and twisted. And the last audio log is a type of thing that belongs in a horror movie trust me if i was playing this game when i was younger i would have gotten a nightmare i know it lol
Thats the charm of Batman they didnt pull any strings they put the real feell of the Dark Knight and is a true and perfect representation of the Bat. Okay now what you all have been waiting for what i think about the game itself.
First off the combat is just plain awesome but a bit too easy. I played the game on Normal difficulty and once i got used to the combat it was pretty darn easy. But even thru it was easy it was so fun cause the combat flowed perfectly it really looked like something you would see in the movies or something just plain awesome. And also another part of the gameplay was the stealth parts. Batman isnt a stealth game like MGS its in a whole nother catagory. Becuase unlike MGS ur enemies know you there but dont know where so you are picking them off one by one and they are really getting scared like it would be if this was real. It really gives you the feeling that you really are Batman. Also the dectectie aspects i loved and Batman throws the riddlers riddles at you as basically a side quest. I got 85% of the riddles correct and i wasnt even meaning too go after them i just would spend awhile in one room till i actually found the riddle and it was fun and very awesome. But one complaint i have about the dectective mode is the detective vision. Dude detective vision is awesome im not saying its not but because of the riddles it makes you wanna play the whole game in the mode which really tones down the graphics a bit(dont get me wrong it still looks awesome but not as awesome as it is normally)
But overall Batman Arkham Asylum is simply awesome dont get me wrong im not a huge Batman fan i was only a small one before this but now it just made me a fan this game is a must-buy for anyone even if u dont like batman its simply awesome
So go out in buy the game(and if u have a PS3 i suggest buying it on that because of the exclusive DLC)
Well thats my blog for today!! ![]()

Finished it quickly cuz it was amazing.
Great game, I'm really hoping for a proper sequel
It's on the 360 too
@ lancelot200
Trying to get everything will take you a while. The challenge maps rank you online. They're are 4 new challenge stages already in the ps store and they are free. There's no new game+. BUT after you beat it the next time you play (and you will want to do it again) you'll have a better idea of what gadgets to upgrade / etc and when .. blah blah
As for the game, I'm currently playing it, Defeated the Bane & Rescued the Gordon, Found the Batclaw & currently proceeding, Will give my opinion after ending it
Yeah I loved this game, defo best game of the year (guess Uncharted could still beat it).
@pai-may: i dont remember him in the show but hes creepy in the game
@mitu123: its awesome
@hank_101: it is the best superhero game ever
@jaykho213: save up to get one
@lancelot200: well their seems to be a steady stream of DLC the challenge maps have leaderboards if u like that sorta of thing and you solve the riddlers riddle throughout the game its a sidequest but pretty addicting
@N8A: this is the first time i ever seen him to be honest and he was hella creepy
@hazelnutman: well by the ending i know their is going to be a sequel

@pakhair: too be honest i actually didnt like any of the batman movies(even the newest one) and also to be honest the only batman thing i ever payed attention too was Batman: Animated Series and Batman Beyond when i was a kid great shows thats why i liked it so much how they brought all the voice actors back
@petef20: yea despite Batman be amazing i still think Uncharted 2 or AC2 might be it
