Batman: Arkham Asylum .:. Game review

Would be [Betmen] Russian subject, it already ten years would obtain pension. In this year to it were carried out seventy. But [Gotema] has its laws, and if you super-hero, then live to you to the oblivion. But oblivion To [betmenu] thus far does not threaten. In the past year left the film Of the Of dark Of knight, which subjugated millions of spectators, after taking away in them billions of dollars (three-week first place on IMDB seemingly it hints…), and very recently solemnly was put on the market the game Of batman: Arkham Of asylum. So that in the calm waters of Lethe Mr. [Temnyy] knight to lap does not intend… But does disturb now other - will be to us interesting project from Rocksteady Of studios? Moreover it is interesting, not as simple [pobegushka]-[postrelushka] of the type “of keepers”, but as is something more serious is deeper is [nekomiksnoe]. Indeed developers took as the basis the classical universe, but not that created director Christopher [Nolan] (Christopher Of nolan).Back to classics

“[Betmen]: Beginning” and “dark knight” they subjugated the most different public because of another approach to the interpretation of history. In the comics and the old films all heroes - deliberately false, some [multyashnye]. Such characters simply it could not be in the real peace, they fairytale, beginning from the [odezhki]- make-up and concluding by motives, by ideas and by thoughts. However, [Nolan] " revived” them. Its joker - usual psychopath. Yes, it is talented, [kharizmatichen], but it is easy to imagine, also, in our peace. It frightened - not some freak, which runs in the ridiculous detail, but practicing psychiatrist.

And after this success, this successful [traktovaniya] of the old universe - Batman: Arkham Of asylum… is accurate to classics. Monsters, mutants, clowns and [komiksnye] schizophrenics.

And subject itself as the episode of [multseriala]. Indeed action is turned havoc during one night inside the mental hospital- prison Of [arkkhem]. Small islet with the five of different buildings and the underground communication. No large open countries, combat in the clean field. Only corridor, room, tunnel and other forms of fights. But the battles to still reach necessary, and thus far…… [Betmen] drags into the fortress -[durdom] of joker. It, of course, all already wait: they prepared camera, they advanced protection, concluded they transferred to a stricter regime. After all into the prison arrives one of the main criminals Of [gotema].

However, it becomes rapid clear that forcedly to be treated and entire life to look at the overseers through the lattices joker not that so that even does not want, and simply it will not be. It has long ago has the plan, as to arrange riot in [Arkkheme], to take entire island, and to then produce something even merrier. Into the police enters the information about the fact that entire [Gotem] is mined, criminals achieve an insidious plan of boss, and peace is found in one night from the loss…They see by its such

But I immediately want you to warn: subject is nevertheless rather bad. There is no undercurrent, morals or the stripping of the skin from the defects. Then supply is so tasty that I can with the confidence say - before us one of the quite [kharizmatichnykh] games on PC.

Batman: Arkham Of asylum - example of fundamental approach to the creation of game. If you earlier never encountered bats, but they saw people in the make-up only in the circus, then after the visit of local crazy house almost for sure a little yes you will fall in love yourselves with the universe Of [betmena]. The developers only by one project could introduce us to the quite key personalities of this peace, transmit their attitudes, their thoughts and desires. Through the motion of passage we will find [audiozapisi], in which with the prisoners the psychiatrists converse. About each to us they will say to vapor of words, and then also villains themselves will either open to doctors soul or vice versa hide it. We “will see” how it will go crazy [Kharli] Of [kvin], as poisonous ivy it will charm doctor, and it frightened it will bring together from the mind of [mozgoprava].Yes even personally let us be introduced to many cutthroats. Let us understand, why guards never get down into the canalization to [Kroku], let us be convinced, to what extent is arrogant and inventive [Zagadochnik], which hid ten prizes at all levels. And let us feel on our skin that it means the fear, which gives birth to it frightened.

And heroes are not simply evil, are dull, [mvakhakhashny], also, with the desire peace to take. They all are curious, it is interesting to be encountered with them. So that let developers and do not send by the way Of [nolana], but also their old trampled road completely did not arrange. Arkham Of asylum - one additional vision of the universe.How does live man- flying mouse?

In the surveys it is accepted to clearly call the genre of game. It is said, these are step-by-step strategy, and this RTS. Point. [Poldela] is made, the reader already itself almost everything understood. [S] “[Betmenom]” so enter I cannot. Fighter from the third person? Yes undoubtedly but much whether to you this will say? It is possible to a little reduce definition, after adding “… about the super-hero”. More concrete specific associations here appear. Not has so long ago left Spider-Man: Web of Of shadows, two parts “of keepers”, other sludge of different manner about the people in the rubber masks. But all this not that. It is not possible to equalize Arkham Of asylum with the games, which please only adolescents and very… by the absorbed adult. Before us serious project- adventure.

Many games on the comics use the classical diagram, where it is necessary to move from the beginning of level to toward the end and kill all on the way. They smashed hundreds of cutthroats, they ran thousands of meters, deign to visit into the following location. Here level is one. [Arkkhem] island. It is monolithic, as section into Resident Of evil 2. we run on it and it is constantly discovered something new.Moreover something changes for the elongation of entire game on the island. First everything quietly is dear, the prisoners yet were not selected outside, protection attempts to choke riots, ambulance stands in the alley and the medical orderlies hide after it. But time- that goes, events any different occur, and therefore joker is placed on the towers of the snipers, on the perimeter run wild mad, who were selected from the crazy house, and physicians were killed and hung. Each time, when you will leave to the street, you will see something new.

Arkham Of asylum resembles the first Of metal Of gear Of solid. We among the enemies, who planned the unkind of the scale of world. All friends somewhere far, and on the portable radio are connected with us. Information enters, and To [betmenu] it is urgently necessary of one point to fall into another. But we indeed on the island, which controls joker, and therefore to gad, where it will decide, it will not come out. It is necessary to search for alternate routes, to creep along the canalization, to jump above the ceiling and to fly on our remarkable wings.

By the way, as in MGS, our hero has an entire collection of the most different adaptations. For example, the so-called “regime of the detective”, with the aid of whom we not only see through the walls, but still and we find people through the fingerprints or… to fumes. Is known [betarang], and the hook, with the aid of which we climb to the walls. There is much in all. This allowed developers to pose even more complex problems before us.We by force teach the good

But [Betmen], certainly, not only ferments on the island and attempts to guess the riddles Of [arkkhema] and joker. To divide off snouts against the cams it is necessary frequently. Moreover all battles can be conditionally divided by two types. The first - we simply are dug in into the crowd of prisoners and we arrange classical super-heroic slaughter. Leaves very [bodrenko], and the main thing - is beautiful. It is not possible to name such combat complex, but spectacular they are unambiguous.

The second type by completely different - tactical. We fall into the enormous accomodation with the high ceiling, several tiers and rock [gorgulyami] on the walls. And our task - of removing all enemies ([Betmen] does not kill enemies, but only are cut down they; probably, the Nobel Peace Prize he wants - [Obame] they gave, and man- flying mouse than it is worse?). But is here it is insufficiently simple to jump into the crowd of enemies and to swiftly give all into the cabbage soups. ZEKs with the automatic weapons walk - one excess action, and [Betmen] will breathe from the excess of lead in the organism.

Therefore it is necessary to constantly develop the tactics of victory. To remove one enemy - not problem. It is possible to jump to it for the back and to stun or to [svesitsya] from [gorguli], to grip it and to hang up for the feet. It is not forbidden and it is simple by two-three strong blows to cut down - versions mass. But there is [problemka]: as soon as one of the criminals is devastated, everything else run off to it. But together they not that so that the force, but shoot, bastard, it is rapid and it is accurate - opened to act no longer will come out.But also this task is solved for that, who bears mask with the ears. We can, for example, rapidly fly over into another end of the hall and grip one of the running soldiers. Another method - to mine approach to the fallen enemy. All will be collected near it, and we will blow up them. Very often it is necessary simply to wait, until enemies disperse. If they will walk at least on two, then to us it is already easier. One we cut down by [betarangom], and to the second we jump by two feet forward. We bring down, deafen - and again upward, to [gorgulyam].

For the description of all the tactician can leave separate material. Indeed each hall, in which we fight, special. Somewhere besides [gorguliy] is another room with the glass roof, the large network of ventilations, hole in the walls, many secluded corners, high book regiments and another many other objects. Arkham Of asylum actually very often forces us on several minutes simple to sit and to think, as it is better to enter. And I assure, far from always immediately it will be possible to find the correct solution. And repeatedly it is necessary to hear the cry of the prisoner: “[Betmen] died!”You do want to have a talk about this?

The lexicon of local bandits however, is limited not only to this phrase. Game is extremely garrulous. Someone constantly something speaks. Where not [sunsya] - conversations go on. Simply we crawl on the ventilation, we hear: somewhere ZEKs exchange phrases. It is said, why weapon do not have they, if [Betmen] arrives, then cover. Another cutthroat answers, that weapon trash - he wants with cams to cleave mouse head. In this case we can quietly creep further and not hear how will end their contact.

When enemies were dug in the library, then of minutes ten about by something argued. But indeed we could simply jump and beat up them, without having listened the first phrase. It seems that island present, and let almost all ZEKs are similar to each other, but they talk, they devise something, shout and dispute. This is simply noticeable. And is especially good the fact that these are not any scenes, which cannot be passed. We do not want to listen to - let us run by (for example, now and then we are encountered the news issues, but audibly them only in one room - send further, everything they passed).

But, of course, more all stirs joker. On entire [Arkkhemu] stand the television sets or the mouthpieces, through which it associates first with us, then with the bandits. Each time, when we enter into one of the rooms - he something tells.It prophesying not monotonically and monotonous. Joker it is possible to cite completely. Any phrase - although any yes is curious. When [Betmen] unnoticeably cut down one of the bandits, then it was heard: “Big-eared took away one of you. Moreover now they have not romantic meeting, what you cost?!” Or another time, when we only entered into the room, but still no one they touched: “If you again miss [Betmena], I will lock you in the cameras and forest laughing gas! :. however, why not to enter so directly now? The same is gay!”

But already [audiozapisi] with the joker - and completely the gift: “Sick on the nickname joker does not go to the contact. Here narrower several days I without result attempt to meet with it - he speaks the female voice of doctor- psychiatrist, but today I will try to use another method”. It instantly counters joker: “[O], do not drive into the paint. I have a girl friend”. But the role play not only words, but also intonation itself. On the whole, the developers could hold lath and confirm that joker - one of the most interesting villains.

Time itself to finish. It is said, game staggering, and point. But I want you to warn - it is not worthwhile to pass in two or three days. It is desirable to extend pleasure to the week, and that to two. The staggering atmosphere, but the actions are nevertheless monotonous in Arkham Of asylum. First all seems staggering, any finding - by masterpiece. But as the repeated joke it is converted into the stupidity, so even the most outstanding idea fills after-taste. Therefore rest and you do not hurry. Two hours during the day - and in you will remain only positive emotions. It goes without saying, before us one of the best games of year.

Pluses: the exquisite atmosphere; the abundance of humor; the interesting findings of developers; beautiful exterior view; the outstanding supply of subject.
Minuses: the monotony of actions, game [priedaetsya] nearer to the tail piece; rather bad subject; many interesting findings are repeated repeatedly.
