The EGTV Show: The Making Of Batman Arkham Asylum

Looks tasty.

Looks amazing.

I hope everyone's right about this - it'd better not be another Kane & Lynch...

They've been crunching for like 6 months on this, it's no wonder they look like shit. Personally I think it is abuse and will be boycotting the game.

@SleepyDeathFred - defnitely not another K&L

You had better boycott most other games as well, haowan!

Please be good please be good please be good please be good.

@Muneeb
As I say, I hope you're right!

I like anything that is British has to be announced as such in the video

Is he snapping necks? Batman doesn't kill people! It's cool that Paul Dini the writer.

Rule Britannia!

Hi guys. Forgot to say in the piece, but probably should have done: Batman doesn't actually kill anyone, just stun people. It's just my imagination. I worship death."

YEAAHHH, the download option reappeard!, thanks eurogamer!

i dont normally buy games like this, but if this lives up to the hype its a must have!

So what score did you have to agree on for the game to get this "Making Of" show approved? :-D

There's just a couple of pretty simple flaws I found.

The detective mode you end up playing in puts one nasty filter on everything. They could have done something more subtle than put it all in grayscale. It's a waste of good graphics coz u have to spend most of the game in that mode.

Secondly, half the levels have you jumping from gargoyle to gargoyle above the goons heads, but your actually quite clearly lit up and it seems silly that they don't notice you unless you're at eye-level. There's a great scene in Batman Begins where the criminals are firing in blind panic at noises up in the rafters of their warehouse.
I was expecting something like that. As it stands that stealth seems very linear and repetitive. Animation kind of saves it but still: really flawed.
