Fat Bastard Preview: Batman Arkham Asylum

I'm Batman! This is a small hands on preview of the demo I got to play. No bullets this time cause there wasn't enough things to list to look right.

I was at the local Walmart looking for some things for my game streaming/recording rig. Then I saw this! The demo consisted of only two challange rooms. One easy and one hard. It was unfortunate that there wasn't any real gameplay. It basically just puts you in a room with a bunch of guys and you have to beat them senselessly. Not that it's a bad thing, but you don't get to play with all the crazy gadgets Batman has that was hyped up from other previews. I was really hoping to fly around and then snap people's necks or make a wall explode from explosive foam.

The basic combat from the demo consists of using three buttons. They were punch, cape stun, counter, and block. Fighting was pretty easy, but fun. At least to me. After you beat down one guy and press the punch button again, you automatically zip to the nearest enemy and proceed with more beatings. When the enemy gets this weird spider sense tingling motion, you press the counter button and then... you counter! Cape stun just seems kinda silly, but it helps. You just hit them with it and then it opens them up to be hit.

Unfortunatly, that's all there was to the demo. It was just the same room, but with different difficulty settings. I just wished they brought more to the table to really tease the game.
