    Batman: Arkham Origins - Playstation 3

    • Cold Cold Heart
    • Still, at its current price, this game is worth a playthrough for any fans of Batman or the Arkham series in general.**UPDATE**This part of the review will focus on Arkham Origins' second story-based DLC Cold, Cold Heart, which showcases Batman's first encounter with Mr. Freeze
    • Also, the DLC for this game (Cold Cold Heart) is a must buy, I would argue that they really knocked it out of the park when it comes to the DLC
    • Personally, I find Cold, Cold Heart to be the best DLC of all the Batman games
    • Compared to Arkham City's DLC (Harley Quinn's Revenge) and the other story-based DLC for Arkham Origins (Initiation), Cold, Cold Heart was the most complete and worthwhile DLC of them all
    • It is clear that plenty of effort went into making the story and gameplay come together, as well as into the fantastic voice acting and scoring
    • take on all of these characters that we all grew up loving, as well as it's dark and mature story
    • The cut scenes and story line was as impressive and entertaining as you can imagine, the voice actors do very admirable jobs, living up to the franchise standard set by the likes of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill.
    • The combat system is virtually unchanged from previous Arkham games, but for some reason, the controls just don't feel as perfect as before
    • He is in your sights, here comes batman gliding at you as fast as he can...who is gonna win!
    • First off, Batman can travel around the city just as well as he could before by gliding and using his grapnel gun to zip himself to ledges and rooftops
    • If you liked the first 2 games and want more then this is it, its just not as great as it could have been.
    • The story didn't have a sense of urgency and many elements felt like reheated leftovers from a really good meal...not bad, but not as good as when it was fresh
    • Countering more than one enemy is also improved as it requires you to press the counter button once for each enemy you are engaging
    • Some of the controls were changed, and I should have known I was in trouble as you can't improve on perfection.
