Rocksteady mix things up a lot by introducing new enemy types that require specific moves to counter, the game tells you what to do when you first meet these tricky customers, so you're never left in the dark. The higher the combos the more chance you have of getting the golden meter, which will (when you upgrade) allow Batman to bust out some bone-crunching takedowns and some vicious throws. Combinations are the key to victory and your flow can be broken by a sneaky thug landing a cruel blow with a lead pipe or a swiftly thrown cinderblock.

You have to be aware of your surroundings, what thug you're attacking and how you get from one to the next.

This will unleash a quick use of the device and can be useful in getting a breather during the more hectic battles (there can be as many as 20 opponents on screen at once). He can also use any number of his gadgets like the batarang and batclaw by double-tapping the right or left trigger on the console versions. He can counter with the counter button, timed correctly. Batman can attack by pressing the strike button in a steady and rhythmic fashion, combined with a direction on the left stick. The controls are tight and they can be broken down into three distinct but melded gameplay types.īrawling: using the unique Freeflow Combat system the developers at Rocksteady have managed to craft a combat system that is simple to use, easy to pick up and devilish to master to get the best out of.

This story is a superb one, full of quality writing and the trademark Joker humour that has made him one of the most beloved and iconic Batman villains. Cue a wild ride with twists and turns galore expertly created by Paul Dini, one of the writers who have worked on Batman and comics and so on for a while. Batman drags the Clown Prince of Crime into the asylum onto to find that something isn't right. Set in just one dark night at the infamous Arkham Asylum, Batman has finally captured his arch-nemesis the Joker. For those who don't want to read an indepth review of the game, this is all you need to know. I can finally say it, I can finally say that I've played what is probably the best comic-book tie-in game that's ever been made until Rocksteady craft a sequel.
