Three games down!
I finished the GOW trilogy late yesterday, which meant it was time for a new game! I'm down to Mass Effect and Batman. I went with Batman because it is another game I'm super excited for the sequels.
I remember this game being released and the acclaim it got. I've always been a huge Batman fan, so I was a little bummed I wasn't going to get to play it. I tried it out on PC and I didn't care much for the controls. I know I can use a Xbox controller, but I didn't want to deal with that hassle at the time.
Right off the bat- I love this game. I cannot wait to get to the sequels. I've been wanting a game like this since I was 10 years old. Being able to grapple up buildings, use batarangs... oh man.
The story is really solid as well. I wish I could remember the comic run that it is based on but man- what an awesome concept.
I think they did a really awesome job cramming a huge game into such a small setting. You would think playing an entire game on one island is a bit boring but they knock it out of the park. They split the island up into 'mini' sections that are unlocked as the game progresses. Awesome! It really reminds me of an MMO style game, but they removed the pain in the ass that is traveling great distances to get to where you are going.
I've always been a fan of Kevin Conroy's Batman, and Mark Hamill's Joker. It is awesome to see they are still voicing those characters after all these years.
There are lot of people, myself included, that consider Batman: TAS the DEFINITIVE Batman story, as well as Kevin and Mark's voice work. It is pretty much spot on.
I've been playing the game for a total of 28 hours and was excited to see I'm only 44% done with the story line. This gives me plenty of content to play through before I move on to Mass Effect, and then the list.
