Still remember the mags...
Man... it was such a great game. I remember the build up, opening the pages in the magazine (back then I rarely checked online, wasn't allowed) and there I saw it, BATMAN! In all its glory, the graphics looked insane, next gen, I knew with my Wii I could never play it. Eventually I got a 360 that didn't last long (darn RROD) but it let me play this masterpiece, I remember distinctly getting it even before reading reviews or getting previews, I hadn't gotten the magazine yet. And what a game... everything, the atmosphere, the voice acting, the narrative, the pacing, the level design. I remember loving how the whole asylum was intricate and complex but there was a genuine reason for being there and you always knew where to go next, at the time I always got lost in games -literally-. I also loved the combat, so simple, yet so satisfying. Remember having multiple moments throughout the game were I wanted the combat to evolve into a very specific thing (like Batman using the gargoyles to dangle from them like a bat for example) and the upgrade path fulfilled my expectations tenfold. Heck, I even remember loving the images in the skills and upgrades. The had collectibles too, lots of riddle trophies, which I didn't like at the time because there were simply too many and I was too young to understand the mechanic; but I do remember the audio logs though. The audios were tracks from each of the villains, all of them scattered around the island, some telling stories, others giving you glimpses to the villains personalities. It was a glorious time and a wonderful game. Now I've played the game a multitude of times, completed it multiple times, gotten the 100% achievements multiple times. Naturally, a lot of the novelty has worn off, but I still think this game holds up beautifully, it's a stark reminder of how this franchise started and one that still recaptures in a lot of ways what made it great back then. 100% recommend it.
