First impression of Arkham Asylum Demo

I’ve been very excited seeing all the videos and artwork for this game. Everything looks great. I love how they used the old school Joker persona that is both very evil and sinister yet still funny. He is very similar to the version they used in the MK vs. DC Mortal Kombat game. When the demo came available Friday I downloaded it that night and got a chance to play it through. It definitely is fun and I actually do like the combat. Though in the demo it is a bit limited so I’ll have to wait and see how the overall combat plays when it is released.

The only complaint I have so far is in the camera. It seems a bit slow and not very quick to respond and if you don’t constantly manage it, can cause frustration as you move around. Not to mention the grapple hook is both cool and a bit cheap. You get spotted and can simply jump around on a few perches to be lost by dumb NPCs. The other complaint I have is the inability to jump. I guess I need to reserve my judgment till I see the full game, which I will absolutely be getting, collectors addition with an F*ing batarang, hell ya! So overall, it does seem like it will be very fun just a few minor complaints that may become more annoying when I play the full game but still looking forward to it!
