  • wow now i fuckin regret not buying batman on pc for 5 bucks on steam now its 30 again wow FUCKIN SHIT!!!! wow

  • Comment removed

  • game was fantastic. One of the best on ps3/360. Cannot wait for Arkham City.

    The only problem was the boss battles. There was only really 1 (maybe 2) boss battles.

  • U only said that cause u think poisin ivy is hot

  • out of all commentators Phil should get his own Tv Channel. He has reviews, FR redicules, playthroughs, Ask the King, and more

  • DSP had many onscreen promts to try stuff like instant tackedowns and combo throws and yet he remained resilient to button mash.

  • 2:48 : My crotch is evolving, how about that?

    3:00 : This game gets presented to you as a package.

    lol

  • she's got style she's got flare she's..... the nanny!!!

  • For those wondering about the combat, play the game on the hardest difficulty (I did on my FIRST playthrough). Every hit hurts you, and you don't even get spider-sense warnings to counter.

    Boring? No.

    ;)

  • hey the o triangle atack is super effective

  • fight fight fight fight figh figh figh fig fi fi fi fai fai fai fai fai fa fa fa fa

  • I personally like the combat.

  • The combat is not repetitive and it's not mindless. What you're saying is exactly the same with the Devil May Cry series 'cause pretty much every standard enemy in that game can be defeated by mashing "stinger", but it rewards people for being stylish and doing different variations of attacks and it's the same with Arkham Asylum. Watch this...

    /watch?v=SKqJ_hMrL34

    Sorry for the sound but the basic idea here is to show you the depth of the combat. 70+ combo =/= mashing.

  • Love the review Phil. But I gotta admit the gripe you have about the combat isn't exactly repetitive as you think. The way the game was designed is for the combat to have a flow to it. In a combat scene you are actually able to use many different tactics to defeat your enemies with a NEVER ENDING combo. There are special attacks if your combo is high enough. Just FYI. I loved everything about this game (minus the killer croc "fight"

  • My thoughts on your Gripes:

    "Combat is repetitive." on the controller: true. On Screen, it's like watching an original episode. The moves change all the time, even if the buttons don't. Try it on hard mode, you'll really feel challenged.

    "Killer Croc was a pussy." For someone that Batman described as an animal needing the proper bait, walking in a crocodile cage was not exactly simple, especially with the urge to run all the time. Besides, taking out Croc was not exactly easy.

  • @kryshunter  your an asshole

  • @12345678927164 Everyone has their opinions, and I just stated mine. Besides, I've been called worse.

  • @kryshunter im sirry man im haveing a bad day

  • The combat was simple but looked really good and the killer croc lvl was bullshit it took so long cuz u had to walk slooooooow

  • I like how the joker's pants grew as he grew from the drug.

  • wat did u say i was distracted by the epic BATMAN song 

  • god phil get a shave your face looks like a rug!

  • I agree... Killer Croc wasn't even a boss... just easy "THROW THE BATRANG BEFORE HE PUSHES YOU IN THE WATER!" shit... I hope the Sequel (Batman Arkham City) has a GOOD Two-Face fight.

  • @Scar8632 me two but not for that reason as other plyers would feel fuckin scared to where the fuck croc would jump out I though you can go with any random batarang but when you get it wrong he drags you down

  • lol killer croc takes a dump at 8:18

  • love the face at 9:28 no no you dont

  • The most annoying fight was that one just before the Joker, with fighting the fucking like 50 hench men and 4 Titans or whatever, not even remotely believable, haha

  • i know who the spirit of arkham is. i found all of riddlers challenges

  • Why would killer croc almost eat a inmate

  • @ElmosWorldChicks

    Cos he's hungry.

  • i have to disagree with your take on the combat, its one of a kind and there is depth, like once your ograded all the way there are throws and moves that just kick ass

  • @KNIGHTMAREMANIAC he knows dude. he has beaten the game

  • FI,FI,FI,FI,FI,FI,FI,FI,FI,FIG­HT lol

  • lol, its super shredder!!

  • happy 35.000 views

  • disagree combat is very fresh.

  • @Playcool18 it is kind of repetitive though. it gets mixed up later in the game a little but not much

  • the watchmen game had better beat em up gameplay imo

  • never got to see this video good to have you back man awesome review

  • I think it should of got more of a rateing

  • my only gripe on it was that id rather have a few head to head fights with bosses rather than just fighting henchmen, then animation attack on boss, more henchmen. Kinda wish they set up that one part where clayface pretends to be a guard, you let him out then you have to fight him straight up.

  • @SuperAl19 i now what you mean. I think there should of been more of a epic fight with the Joker.

  • Joker and croc are things that I have to agree with you, but the combat is not original. If you play on hard it is way harder. Also it is possible to chain combos for entire fights if you are actually good. Not everyone can be good at the combat

  • Phil's complaining about button mashing when that's all he does in Bayonetta. lol!

  • He does that in all his games that i have seen so far, it isn't just bay.

  • Yeah...my gripes are with your gripes. One, you shouldn't "button mash" as the game allows you so many different ways to knock down and slow up thugs. Two, Croc had to be handled like that 'cause Batman just can't smack him around. Three, same with Joker after the injection plus he always made his guys do the dirty work. It all fit the way it was supposed to. Not saying they couldn't do something different but that's what sequels are for. Check yoself next time. :3

  • I disagree about the "boring combat system".

    If you smash the button you get a poor score and it not look great. You can get variation bonuses (using the batarang, batlaw, etc, etc...), you must get a perfect timing in the hit... Actually I freaking love the combat system, it's extremely fun, and not that simple (play the challenges if you don't believe me)

  • my thoughts exactly man lol.. 'button mashing' on "Shock and Awe (Extreme)" will get u absolutely nowhere lol

  • also playin this shit on hard, u literally have to counter attack all the time.

  • Comment removed

  • @gibsonpowa Or even better: Platinum or 1000G it.

  • there making a 2nd one of batman arkume asylum

  • Phil I think that they should of put in a chase scene with Kiler Croc against the batmobile then he destroys it (instead of the henchmen) and you do a battle against him using the batclaw to trip him. Just my opinion.

  • The batmobil is used as a weapon for something else in the game (dont want to spoil it)

  • Message me who your talking about if it's not one of the first if not the first boss.

  • The first big boss, your fight him then scape, but surprise he follows your, so you crash the batmovil on it. (batmovil is destroyed and te boss is defeated)

  • I know I beat the game I just didn't want to spoil anything. You use it to kill Bane.

  • its batmobile

  • Phil..no offence , but before i saw this vid , i thaught u were abount 16

  • XD XD

  • @hiddenstaro I agree 100%. His Arkham Asylum playthrough vids were the first vids i saw him do. When i watched them i really thought he was like 17 or 18

  • @Jeffster685 I beat both of you. I thought he was 15 on the first playthrough I watched (God of War 3).

  • @LordAngus1992 Thats so funny. Were all in violent agreement

  • its a button masher but i actually love the fucking combat the most in this game.

  • man, i can't get over how high pitched your voice is for being such a big looking dude. don't take it the wrong way, it's just unexpected! <3 ya phil!

  • The combat is button mashy if you button mash. There are "super moves that you store up" but he never used them like the throw and the take down.

  • Combat repetitive? It's only repetitive if you play it like a button masher. But when you get technical with the combat and play it the way its supposed to be played, it's fun and you can pull off more than 40 something hit combos.

  • what's the exact name of that song playing at 1:46

  • the batman theme song

  • dude u need the batarang and you use stun the to kill bowtown guys

  • You just zap him and he takes a dump!LMAO.

  • Man I want this game so bad!

  • nananananananananana BAT MAAAAAAAAAAN!

  • -Handshake!-

  • great game :D fantastic on a HD big screen just the way I like it!

  • I love Super Shredder xD

  • I loved the batman health realism,like he dies after 6bullets or etc.

  • I am gonna get the game.. The games you like are the best

  • The last boss (Joker) is too easy... Poison Ivy is even harder then Joker...!!!

  • i don't think joker should be hard to beat, hes more of a mastermind, you know use other people. The way he was a giant freak at the end was lame and poorly handled.

  • Yeah... the suckest boss fight ever...!!!

  • haha i mean i watched the wlkthru wit DarksydePhil n ur rite... Poison Ivy does luk hrdr n i nvr played the game lol

  • @Cheapboy3 actually she takes a long ass time to beat

  • @Cheapboy3

    SPOILERS:Not to mention that Joker is a fucking muscled meathead by the time you fight him at the end. He's the Joker, he's not supposed to be a fucking brute.

  • Nice Review DSP!!!

  • The bosses are just jokes.

    Maybe that what the Joker wanted XD

  • Mark Hamill is THE best Joker voice IMO. Loved him. And im glad we dont have Christian "grumble grumble" Bale as the voice.

    Unfortunatly, the only part of this game i didn't like was the Boss battles, thankfully being so few in the game it DOES NOT bother you.

    The Riddler challenges i found to be FUN to find, i couldn't believe i enjoyed them.

    The combat seems bery basic and im very against mashers but i found the Batman AA combat very enjoyable.

    I can also see myself playing this alot!

  • Mark Hamill is my uncle. He lives in Malibu, CA

  • no fuckin thats cool

  • nice

  • If thats true, make a video...

  • nice hah i liked the batman rock themed music u added to ur vid lol

  • lol

    avgn music

  • I wonder if DSP tried the game on hard mode. There are no blue indicators when the badguys are about to hit you which I found made the combat a lot more fun. Also the throw and the instant takedowns are sort of like super moves =P.  But then again I don't play very many different games so to me the combat in this game was really fun.

  • I totally agree with you about the final boss battle with joker (aka super shredder)lol....I was really hoping to fight him head on but instead you have to fight more of his goons. It was way to easy IMO. Poison Ivy was my favorite boss in this game by far....great review Phil

  • she was my favorite person to look at in the game :P

  • Well i guess this game was right up your alley then Phil if you got to ride guys in it! Jk... Good review! Keep'em coming!

  • if heath ledger was still alive he could of done the voiceovers coz his impression on the joker was great in the movie

  • I love this game, i got every riddle and tape, even solved the last spirit of arkham w/e. Let me tell you if you use a strategy guide for this game, then it'll turn right into a beat them up. the real fun for this game is solving everything in here. Plus hard mode, no more flashing to tell u to counter. Seems like nothing at first, until you die, in the first 2 rounds of mobs.

  • You only JUST got the 20 combo trophy that far in the game

  • "Killer Croc is a pussy...." LOOOL

  • ImpressedPhil

  • i thought the video was good i agree with you on the killer croc fight it was so boring

  • i think the video would be better without the random batman theme songs

  • the batman song on 1:53 is straight from AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd)

  • 1:26 = gman

  • wake up mr. batman

  • That's mr. freeman to you. :p

  • oh uh it appears i am in the wrong video game *tightens tie* um i will probably never see you again *fades into darkness*

  • Is that you pengiun?

  • uhhhh well *tightens tie as always* well i better be going now i will see you later mr. penguin *coughs* batman

  • I dont care, this was still a fun game to play. best part are the fighting.

  • There are super moves... you can throw people and do instant take downs (breaking arms and legs etc.)

  • nice video, i agree with everything u said

  • Good Game Review

  • you and the joker just beat the hell out of eachother as huge mutant beasts, THEN, he uses the cure stuff he uses before the fight, that would have been crazy

  • i give this game a 9 because i kind of agree, the killer croc fight wasnt what i expected, although they wanted to keep it realistic because lets be honest, batman cant win in a fist fight so they needed to do something other then that, but they should have had something better then blowing up the floor, also at the end of the game fighting the super joker, i think it would have been awesome if batman got injected with the shit the joker got injected with and they both got all huge and

  • lol for some reason i never got bored of the combat everytime i whack some guys i enjoyed it

  • angry video game nerd batman theme for the win

  • wow i thought you were like 16 or 18 but watever ur funnny keep the reviews and vids comin

  • CAN YOU PLAY THE RIDDLER'S TAPES

    5/5*

  • i loled at 7:46

  • The combat is awesome and the point of it is to keep the flow going which frankly you didin't by mashing the strike button and counter.

  • Good review DSP, let's get play KoF 12

  • I really, really really enjoyed this game, and I hope they'll do a sequal with more of the villains they didn't actually have (Two Face, Mr. Freeze, maybe an actual fight with the Riddler, and possibly bringing back Croc for some better fights or something).

    It seems that there's a lot of possibilities in a sequal, and if there's gonna be one, I can't wait. Bottom line: If you like Batman, go get it.

  • i have a feeling the next batman will be open world who agrees?

  • I hope it will but I also hope it will bring multiplayer and not just doing challenges and upload your score on a leaderboard.

  • there is only one way you can say if the game is good or not and i think you know what to do man have a nice day bro ^_^

  • wats da replay value?

  • 10 dollah

  • Great review.

  • there are super moves but phil spent all his upgrades on armor.. great my to get the full experance of the game DSP

  • lol its super shredder!!!!

  • You can go outside the Asylum and explore the ISLAND and not just the Hospitals etc.

  • It's amazing.

  • you play inside the prison everywhere inside it so from that place to the mansion and everywhere else this game is probably the best superhero game so far hands down

  • What's with people giving others thumbs down just for asking "is it good?" We're not all rich we can't just buy games without knowing if they're good or not.Fuck you all.And come on bring on the thumbs down you internet tough guys.

  • Watch the reviews, see some videos about it, stop bitching about thumbs down..

    M'kaaaaay?

  • Why are you so worried about my comment?Take it easy...

    M'kaaaaay?

  • Because i wanted to help you? wasn't that what you wanted? help?

  • im not rich and i hav it hobo

  • I'm not rich and I have a Honda civic and anyone who doesn't wanna buy it is a cheap hobo.I love your logic.

  • when phil played the sound clip from batman was it from avgn

  • yeah it was

  • for telling people if they want to play it or not, you spoil too much. you could of done fine without saying some stuff (leaving out names of bosses you fight in particular)o

  • He said at the start to not watch it if you wanted to play it, or wanted to know the story.

  • no he said to skip the story part, but when he went into combat and such, he ended up talking about most of the endgame bosses.

  • he mostly talked about who was in the game and if you would have watched part 1 and listened to it you would have already knew he beaten it and was going to talk about everything he played from it

  • Can anyone tell me which parts of his playthrough are the scarecrow fights I want to hear his commentary

  • Parts 17, 29, and 52.

  • When I first saw Phil's demo walkthrough I thought he was a total tool with his commentary, but hey, this is a really well-done review (although a bit long). Good on you.

  • I love ya videos phil but the comment about the combat all the tools and stuff you get, you can use all of em and they are useful (so there is variety) especially when your wanting to chain together 40+ combos

    and it isn't complicated but as the same time it sorta is cause you do need to concentrate quite a bit and on the harder difficulty you do not button mash. You need to know what enemy your going for with each square button atack (ps3) and all the rest.

    Besides that, good review
