Great game, story is short but it has a lot of extra side missions - I definitely recommend playing those missions before getting to involved int he story.

it's still a great game, just not as great as it could be.

The main story line alone will keep you on the edge of your seat and the side characters story lines, side missions, as well as Batman's gadgets, round up this game's excellent game play

Of course, Arkham City was one of the best games I've ever played, so it is hard for this game to live up to it.

i hear people knock it for being too much like Arkham City, but it is a great play, and still thoroughly enjoyable.

I wouldn't have named it Origins, but I think it's a solid addition to the Arkham family.

Batman Arkham Origins is a great addition to the Arkham series

Having bought Batman Arkham City, and throughly enjoying it, I thought Origins would be a great addition to my game collection

Really Great addition to the Arkham series Product was Shipped and handled with care Love it

Very cool game, fun to play and is a good addition to the series.

My very finicky son who has very discerning tastes when it comes to his video games has not played another game since I got this one

My 13 year old son wasn't as impressed with this game as he thought he would be he said there was just to much hype for this game

My older son loves anything Batman and he had asked for this game for xmas

My son loves the Batman games, but they would be just as enjoyable without all the obnoxious language.

All in all, I still enjoyed this game and the series a great deal (I prefer games with good story lines, as opposed to those that just shoot and blow things up constantly).

Montreal ruined this series for all the loyal fans who keep playing, and they have wasted enough of my time and caused far too much frustration

I love the Arkham series, but, this game was not released by Rocksteady, and the look I had grown to love was not there for this game

Anyone who loves the Batman video game series needs to play this game

thats exactly what you experience when you play Batman: Arkham Origins.this "prequel" to the fantastic arkham game series...

Great graphics too... difficult, but still easy enough for a 5 year old to enjoy playing.

This game has great graphics, a great origin story of Batman and Joker, and the combat-well let's just say if you've played the previous entries, you know it's great

Origins has by far the best story with the best graphics in all 3 games

This game is by far the best of the Batman Trilogy with the best graphics and an awesome story line

This game has great graphics, love the story line and the characters

Thank you for a good product and thank you for having it come to me so quick and thanks for a great price

I finally gave away my copy, not because it's a boring game, but because I couldn't get the d*mned thing to work

I very much love hiding up high on things u can get up to and sneaking up on bad guys to take them out without being noticed

Excellent work, both amazon and seller, exact arrival, great product quality and fit exactly as indicated by the seller, great essence.

This has a great storyline along with awesome side missions and gadgets and free roam

Great Game, Great Storyline plus the Amount of Villains you have to Fight is insane.

The storyline is great and the story mode is long enough

I enjoyed the storyline and some of the new gadgets and upgrades.

and I was not disappointed, great storyline and enough bat toys to keep you in the game for hours

Really good game, if you liked the other Arkham games (Asylum & City)

In other terms the city seems a little lifeless even on Christmas Eve

The story line was good but it felt dull by weak voice acting and a lame Gotham city with no one but a few criminals on the streets

Which itself is fine, since, let's face it - Arkham City was a damn near-perfect game

Of the Arkham games, I love Arkham Asylum and Arkham City

Solid game if you enjoyed the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games this will enthuse you

If you loved Arkham Asylum and drooled over how city expanded beautifully

Ever since Arkham Asylum my older 2 boys have clamored for every Batman Arkham game and all the gameplay and mechanics hold true and are even enhanced in this installment.

Of the Arkham games, I love Arkham Asylum and Arkham City

Origins does improve on some things from the previous Arkham games which from reading other reviews surprised me

I've read some mixed reviews on the game, but as a Batman fan and action-adventure game fan Arkham Origins gets my approval

If you like action games - you will love Arkham Origins

While Arkham Origins is great, I'm not so sure how much it grows from the previous 2 games

Even if you're just someone looking for a fun action game, I definitely recommend Arkham Origins

So far it is my favorite Batman Game of the Arkham Trilogy.

look the story is great in this one 8 assassins want to kill batman an so far from

Basically this is the exact same game as arkham city, it uses much of the same map, controls/game play, while having a few negative like new/different voice actors and a new/worse batman costume

If you have played the original, Batman Arkham Asylum you may enjoy this game

If you want a nice game to play and if you like batman, get this game right now!!!!!!!!!!''''''

I don't even know where to start with the game breaking glitches this game has; where you just can't progress at all until the problems are fixed

I've heard a lot of people downtalk this game as "not as good as rocksteady's games

I think it would be a fun game if I could progress past the game breaking bugs that they claim are fixed.

I've heard a lot of people downtalk this game as "not as good as rocksteady's games

it's still a great game, just not as great as it could be.

I had previously made the comment that I did not like the fact that, even on normal, the spider sense-like counter icon wasn't available.

What really annoys me, is the fact that you receive a prompt to defend yourself, which only works on the initial part of the defensive move, but not through the entire move, So basically, you can defend yourself on the first part of the move against you, but then get whacked on the second - all the time

Although the story had a twist, i did not like the fact that the Joker was yet again the main villain for the

Batman's origin story is pretty awesome, and often something writers and creators like to morph a little to adjust it to the time period or make it more realistic (well, as realistic as you can get)

it's still a great game, just not as great as it could be.

- I can deal with that, but you'd think Batman would at least have the sense about him to drag Bane into a jail

I like that Batman and the vilains are less "sausagey" and more normal sized, killer croc and bane looked great

I spent twenty minutes tweaking and crafting my Joker goon and Bane Elite Guard

it's still a great game, just not as great as it could be.

The riddler challenges aren't as sweet as in the last one and many of the gadgets are recycled over from the previous ones

it's still a great game, just not as great as it could be.

Sounds easy enough, and it would be if not for the fact that you seem to move a lot faster when sneaking which makes it ten times harder to actually hit the "Y" when prompted, and the camera tends to jerk around wildly at times.

I very much love hiding up high on things u can get up to and sneaking up on bad guys to take them out without being noticed

Arkham Origins isn't a game you play just to beat up bad guys

And it was a lot more sexy when you get ya girl to go down on you while you killing bad guys

I should be more specific since it feels like you fight this guy about 2 or 3

I don't know why it got only halfway decent reviews

To start this game isn't as bad as all the negative reviews are leaving you to believe

the online challenges and gameplay are top notch.. and are worth checking out.. ignore the negative reviews and check this one out for yourself.

The only reason I don't give this a great review is for two reasons that he told me

Gameplay is standard, same stuff here, except the boss battles which were pretty good considering, but nothing groundbreaking as I wouldn't expect it to be considering it's an origins story set before the events of Asylum and City

The story line was as good as the others but my biggest problem with the

a major problem(it does not help that the developer has decided to not fix these problems and work on cranking out

Once we finally got into the game, we didn't have anymore problems with it freezing

This problem is not limited to just myself, it seems to be endemic to many in the gaming community

Unfortunately, the problem with game save files being corrupted and forcing the player to completely restart the game losing all progress has not been fixed.

What does disappoint is playing 10 hours (felt like 3, game time flies by) and crashing 9 times only to finally end up with a corrupt save game.

This is a great and challenging game, I've wasted countless hours playing this incredible game.

I got about 20 hours into the game, ignoring the game freezes, and occasional glitches as i

So I started again a few days later, played four hours and lost it all again.

I lost about 6 hours of play time the first crash and about 10 the second time

It was a great game for a while, until my save got corrupted

There are still corrupt save issues which is making the Xbox community afraid of playing the game.

The riddler challenges aren't as sweet as in the last one and many of the gadgets are recycled over from the previous ones

The game randomly corrupt save files(happens on PS3 also.

Batman's origin story is pretty awesome, and often something writers and creators like to morph a little to adjust it to the time period or make it more realistic (well, as realistic as you can get)

It made me upset for other players since the developers said there is no way to recover a corrupt file and to start over *sigh*.

I experienced the "Corrupt Save" glitch and made me erase my file and start over, but I wasn't very far in the game anyways

That said, by the time most people read this (and other reviews like it) the game's issues with freezing and corrupted save game files will have been patched by the developer

After playing for a couple hours, I experienced numerous freezes and at one point had to shut my console off while the game saved so my file was corrupted and had to start all over (my frustration begins)

Gameplay is standard, same stuff here, except the boss battles which were pretty good considering, but nothing groundbreaking as I wouldn't expect it to be considering it's an origins story set before the events of Asylum and City

But I do like the game, have not had any freezing issues or other bugs and the story is good

the patch has fixed the freezing issue and the glitches

Look, first off this game has only one major issue which many have expressed here and that is the occasional freezing issue

Also, this issue may be fixed with a patch in the future, but I had major freezing issues, the game would stop all the time and I'd have to restart my whole Xbox

The formula - Batman is a target, a bounty on his head gathers Gotham's villains, rogue assassins, common thugs and even members of the Gotham Police Department to toss their hat in at taking him down and earn the money.

Even the thugs have some great attacks, gadgets, and the ability to counter some of the heroes most potent attacks

The shock gloves are also an iffy feature as they simplify combat so much that all the other character types such as the armored thugs dont require the stun

Even when you play as Bane's/Joker's thugs you can get the chance to play as the Joker or Bane and wreak havoc with their special abilities too

While hanging out near the bridge, I saw two thugs and decided to beat them down
