Alright, I'm in the process of finishing my review of Batman… I finished 90% of the game with 7 trophies left (excluding the Platinum and 100% trophy) so I think it's pretty safe to say my final impressions of the game!
Alright here we go:
You read my blog's title, and my question to all of you is Batman Arkham Asylum Overhyped???
Alright let me begin by saying that I thought the game was great, definitely ONE of the best games of this year, and most importantly it makes you feel like "The Dark Knight"!
It definitely had its moments… *SPOILERS*………………. The Scarecrow parts were great, and I've never seen anything like it in any video game, the stealth sequences were really enjoying that are actually comparable to the stealth in Metal Gear Solid…
The Content in the game was really huge, with 240 riddles, 16 challenge rooms, 10-12 hour Single Player Campaign… (The Point?) A Definite Game of the year nominee…
Overyped?
My Opinion: YES! YES! YES!
Wait before you begin by insulting me, and begin typing on the comments section, READ why I think it is!
First of all, IT WILL NOT WIN GAME OF THE YEAR AWARD! It will be a nominee, but its NOT gonna win, let me tell you why… when a game wins game of the year, its being put in the same league as the "BEST GAMES OF ALL-TIME" and this game in my opinion does not belong in that league…
The Fun factor in my opinion decreases as you play the game… and it eventually at some points of the game becomes frustrating! Yes… it gets old!!!
Boss fights: meh… yes, why in gods name was the final boss unchallenging?!? And I was playing at hard mode! Plus, a lot are kind of similar, which makes the game a bit flat for me…
A lot of people are really making it sound as if this is the best game of all time… I mean its great, don't get me wrong I'm not bashing the game, BUT its not all that! If you compare it to other games out there…
I personally enjoyed inFamous much more… Why? (I'll need to type another blog, if you actually care
)
What do you think, is this game overhyped or not??
