Arkham Asylum : Flaws in the masterpiece

[Yoda]

I've played maybe two hours so far... I had my first scarecrow run in which was kind of cool... but aside from that the game just hasn't been much fun.. I'm not a huge Batman guy... we'll see if it picks up. The 'freeform combos' are really underwhelming as a gameplay mechanic.

I was also decidedly underwhelmed until I tried some of the challenge rooms and got a better feel for the combat and stealth. That's when the game just "clicked" for me.

Once you get that stuff down, the game really opens up. Getting increasingly higher combos becomes extremely rewarding. I got up to 50 in one of the challenge rooms and it was freakin' sweet as hell.

Having forced myself off fallout 3 i thought i would fire up batman AA....WOW!!!

Fantastic looking and sounding game, i got up to the bit were you find the bat-cave, fantastic game, i am really loving the upgrade options and all the riddler stuff.

Amazing game, between this and Fallout3(GOTY) they should see me through the rest of 2009.
