Two weeks ahead of its worldwide launch, a demo of Eidos and WBIE’s Batman: Arkham Asylum will make its way to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this Friday. Look for the full-fledged title on August 28 worldwide.
The Batman: Arkham Asylum™ demo opens as the DARK KNIGHT and COMMISSIONER GORDON return The Joker back into confinement at ARKHAM ASYLUM. But things soon fall apart as THE JOKER gains the upper hand and springs a trap, setting Arkham Asylum’s occupants upon Batman. The demo offers gamers a taste of the fierce FreeFlow™ combat system, the cunning stealth of the Invisible Predator™ mechanic, and the feeling of becoming the WORLD’S GREATEST DETECTIVE as they navigate Arkham Asylum’s imposing Intensive Treatment facility. Players can unlock character bios, as well as get a sneak peak at some of the infamous foes that BATMAN will encounter within the cavernous and macabre confines of Arkham Asylum.
List of words to be included in all press releases going forward:
- infamous
- fierce
- macabre
Additionally, all proper nouns referring to persons are required to be in ALL CAPS.
Oh please oh please don’t be the same demo that Target has in their stores. It was pretty bad. Baddies come after you in rounds and get arguably harder, but mainly there’s just more of them. The single, punch-baddies-button, coupled with the *spidey*sense* esk warning system you can just button mash your way through the entire demo.
Friday? Pfft. Enjoy the wait, America!
Us Brits got the PlayStation demo at 4pm TODAY (thursday). Fan-freakin-tastic, I can tell you.
Amazing game! I didn’t knew that this would be as good as Metal Gear, Splinter Cell and Assasin’s Creed. I’m definitely going to buy one more or less before Aion Online is launched.
