Batman Arkham Asylum

Presentation seems to be top notch (outside of the character models during speech)

Gameplay seems to be pretty good. I do like the stealth aspect of it alot more than the hand to hand fighting.

I do want to see if you do anything different during the whole game because the demo was alot of fun, 10 hours of that will get pretty boring.

Me too. The hand-to-hand fighting was... meh. I liked the counter system though.

Well, it did say that when you get more experience points, you gain more access to Wayne technology (or something to that effect), allowing you to use other kinds of weapons/gadgets throughout the game. For instance, there was one part of the demo that had this damaged wall and the detective mode said that an explosive would be able to destroy it (which we don't get in the demo).

So... yeah. It won't be just 10 hours of the same old, same old.

did anyone figure out how to set up the throw or the combat take down?

Anyone else find the Riddler box in the vent after taking down Zsasz?

Yeah XP seems to upgrate you in different ways it seems.

I also liked the stealth, detective and hand to hand combat.

Adding a couple of gizmo's doesn't change the gameplay that much.

he has it preordered.

also, i love the gameplay. i don't think i'd consider it repetitive. i just hope a big modding community builds from this game. i want new costumes, etc.

Hmm.. no. I'll have to try that sometime.

Yep. I found 2 Riddler boxes actually. The one that you mentioned, and one at the beginning (when Joker's talking on TV as guys come at you), behind this other air vent. Didn't notice it until playing through the demo the 2nd time while using Detective Mode.

Depends on what they are/how they're used. Not everything's going to involve just the grapple hook or the batarang.

The demo was fun, but essentially I think that's all the game will be, different areas and you doing similar stuff.

Repetition city.

I know you can do a standing takedown by hitting Y+B after getting a x5 combo.

Experience unlocks new gadgets and techniques. And of course, the game is heavily plot-driven.

ah, so it's dependent on combos? i'll remember that.

For the record, in the demo at least, getting a x5 combo is pretty hard. Seems the easiest way is to counter a thug, attack twice, attack a second thug once, then attack a third thug once. At this point you should be able to do a standing takedown on the second thug.

Also, hit counters whenever possible; they add to your combo.

Harley looks so good and hot.

Yeah but sacrifices must be made for a bigger bust.

I honestly prefer her harlequin costume, but I can understand the reasoning behind creating a new costume from what's available at Arkham.
