Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo

Experience the thrilling world of Gotham's most notorious prison in Batman: Arkham Asylum. In this action-packed game, you find yourself trapped alongside the Joker and a horde of dangerous criminals, all determined to bring down the legendary Dark Knight.

This massive 2 gigabyte demo allows you to dive into the captivating storyline and get a taste of the incredible abilities Batman possesses. Engage in the mesmerizing "free flow fighting" combat system, which delivers visually stunning cinematic brawls. Simply click your mouse repeatedly to unleash a series of powerful attacks. Additionally, utilize the detective mode, akin to x-ray vision, to silently navigate through the shadows and monitor enemies through walls.

Visually, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a masterpiece. It boasts the most impressive graphics ever seen in a Batman game, and the acting and cinematic sequences rival those of a blockbuster movie. However, the gameplay is a mixed bag. At times, it feels more like an interactive movie than a game, as you progress from one cut scene to another. Batman's arsenal of cool moves is easily executed, perhaps too easily. The stealth sections can feel somewhat staged, with armed guards conveniently turning their backs, allowing you to silently eliminate them.

Despite its simplistic gameplay, Batman: Arkham Asylum remains a captivating Batman experience. While this demo may require a hefty download, the stunning visuals make it well worth it!
