Batman: Arkham Origins (PS3)

I must say that when the arkham series traded makers from rockstar to WD montreal, I was a bit worried because Rockstar had set the bar too high for a batman game and the task for any other company to take on the task of Rockstar would be unachievable. However with early screen shots, gameplay footage and the origins video promo that showcased deathstroke going toe to toe with the dark knight, my worries about arkham origins started to fade away (though not completely). I must say that I have just completed the game and I must say...wow! Origins does deliver like it's predecessors. well...sort of. The story has it that joker (disguised as the black mask)has placed a heavy bounty on the dark knight so many of gotham's criminals (eight to be exact-excluding the regular street thugs) have emerged to take on the bounty quest. Now story-line wise, it is here that origins really shines. The story is really captivating and PERSONALLY I did find the story of origins to be a lot better than Arkham city and asylum combined! the way the 8 assassins out for the bounty are introduced, you can't just help but be instantly drawn to each character illustration. The story also digs deep and uncovers the jokers fascination with the batman, Harley quinn's obsession with...Mr J and Bane's addiction to the venom substance that causes him to mutate into hulking appearance you see in asylum and city. The confrontation between batman, bane and joker is really enthralling. Voice-over acting is great though it took me a while to get used to Roger Craig Smith as a younger batman but don't let that discourage you. a few of the voice-over actors from previous batman games appear here. Nolan North returns as the penguin, Tara strong reprises her role as Harley Quinn, Wally wingert still lends his voice as the riddler and Martin Jarvis returns as Alfred. Mark Hamil does not appear as the joker but his replacement, Troy Baker does an excellent job! quote me! Gameplay wise, it plays exactly like the previous batman games so players will feel right at home. Another aspect of the gameplay is the end of the level boss fights. They are really, really exciting. My favourite boss fight's are Bane's and Firefly's but be warned, the deathstroke boss fight is really frustrating!! My only gripe with this game is that it is... riddled (no pun intended) with a few freezes. Other than that, Arkham origins is a great game. Although it does not offer anything majorly new that sets it apart from the previous arkham games, origins is still an enjoyable game. My advise, wait for a price drop. I'm out!!

While this the third installment of the Arkham Batman series is weaker than Arkham City (the previous game) but better than Arkham Asylum (the first) it is still great fun to play. If you liked Arkham City, you'll like this, although there isn't really a great deal that is new other than the storyline and the characters in the game. The new crime-scene reconstruction segments are entertaining and satisfying to complete, and the new gadgets which have been added don't seem gratuitous or game-breakingly powerful. The free-flow combat system is back and as smoothly brilliant as ever, bar the odd annoying occasions where a button press has unexpected results and this can be a combo-breaker but not a game-breaker. Predator (stealth) mode allows you to take down enemies from the shadows in true Batman style and the strategy (and occasional patience) required for the most slick room-clearings makes predator mode a highlight of the game. The open-world environment is larger than in previous installments, though isn't massive. There are plenty of side-quests to encounter as you fly and sneak around Gotham City. The system of Dark Knight challenges (e.g. glide 150m without touching the ground) is a nice touch to give the player more things to do and unlock upgrades, although some of the tasks seem infeasibly hard. Furthermore, glitches can occasionally cause these tasks to become completed for you despite never actually completing them which can be a relief if there is one you are stuck on but makes unlocking all the upgrades a slightly more hollow achievement. The soundtrack is wonderful and the voice acting from certain characters (no spoilers) is stellar. On this note, the plot is arguably better than that of Arkham City, and the boss fights that the plot necessitates are for the most part fun and not annoying, although my personal favourite is so early in the game that the rest seem slightly lame in comparison, but this is just my preference. The DLC is worth getting if you want more challenge maps (combat and predator challenges based on but outside the confines of the storyline). Summary: really enjoyable game marred by the occasional bug/glitch. Highlights are the storyline (including voice-acting), the playtime value (i.e. plenty to do) and predator mode; lowlights are said bugs (which are not gamebreakers) and not much else. 4 Amazon-scale stars does not do this game justice but it is more an 8/10 than a 9/10.

Für einen Batman fan muss man eben die spiele haben leider kam ich noch nicht dazu es zu spielen............. ..

gioco molto bello per gli amanti della saga di batman arkham,gioco essenziale per scoprire le origini di batman,trama molto interessante,grandissimo peccato non avere realizzato una versione fisica per ps4

Leí los comentarios y me animé a comprarlo al ver que el precio era el más barato de los que había visto. Aunque me daba miedo que solo estuviese en inglés al ser la versión importada, los comentarios eran ciertos; está en perfecto castellano todo y encima viene con 2 DLC! Además, el envío RAPIDÍSIMO, menos de 24h. Totalmente recomendado, no se puede encontrar ahora mismo una oferta mejor. Y el juego lo vale. Muchas gracias Amazon!

Ho giocato a Batman Arkham Asylum, e l'ho trovato fantastico anche se l'ambientazione era un po' piccola (si svolge tutto all'interno della prigione). Poi è uscito Batman Arkham City, praticamente stesso gameplay di Arkham Asylum ma l'ambientazione è nella città di Arkham, quindi molto più grande e aumenta la longevità del gioco. Quest'ultimo l'ho trovato un po' ripetitivo in quanto l'ambientazione è sempre arkham city ma cambia solo la storia. Comunque essendo un grande appassionato del genere mi è piaciuto molto, quindi lo consiglio a chi come me è appassionato e a chi non ha mai giocato a Batman Arkham City. per chi vuole qualcosa di nuovo, difficilmente lo troverà di suo gradimento.

Envío de lujo y antes de lo previsto. En perfecto castellano y DLCs canjeables sin ningún problema. Respecto al juego, me confieso seguidor de rocksteady, por lo que este Batman, el cual no viene de sus manos, me daba algo de miedo. Sin embargo me he encontrado con una historia de narices (en el buen sentido), una jugabilidad que no cambia respecto a los anteriores arkham pero que sigue funcionando igual de bien y un estilo artístico distinto al propuesto por rocksteady pero igualmente interesante. Solo la historia principal ya necesita sus horas, si a eso le sumamos la gran cantidad de secundarias y el precio al que está, se convierte en un imprescindible para todo el mundo.
