Spend XP points as the story unfolds on kitting out Batman in upgraded armor and teaching him new attacks. Come up against more challenging enemies than in the other games, many with enhanced combat skills, including the Martial Artist and Armored Enforcer types, included in the game to encourage quick, strategic action and FreeFlow combat proficiency.
Find plenty of side missions to develop the Dark Knight while chasing down minor or peripheral villains. A living, breathing environment with new areas, iconic locations and crimes in progress to tackle, veer Batman off the beaten track to explore different parts of the map. Grapple between buildings, glide across chasms, and use the Batwing to ’teleport’ to activated areas. Roam one of the widest, most open renditions of the original, Christmastime Gotham City on the PS3, with everything the way it was before Batman: Arkham Asylum. Check for clues, track criminals, and digitally recreate crime scenes in the series’ most detailed Detective mode yet. Inspect crime scenes like never before with a sophisticated Crime Scene system. Establish connections throughout the game with iconic characters from the Batman universe, including then-Captain Jim Gordon, who leads the police pursuit of Batman, while facing off in some of Batman’s first encounters against the city’s most notorious super villains, including The Joker, Black Mask, Deathstroke and others. Play as a young, somewhat unrefined Bruce Wayne in his early days as Batman, with a cinematic score and an engaging single-player story written by Dooma Wendschuh and Corey May - both known for their work on Assassin’s Creed, Prince of Persia, and other hit games. Interactive Entertainment and with an all-new, exciting prequel storyline, Batman: Arkham Origins for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) platform is set some years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the original two video games in this critically-acclaimed series. The words “sh*t,” “a*s,” and “bastard” appear in the dialogue. The game depicts drug packets in one scene, and several characters discuss illegal narcotics and drug charges. During the course of the game, the camera pans on a villain briefly groping the posterior of a female character. A handful of scenes depict corpses on the ground, hanging on walls, or arranged in strange poses some of these scenes depict bloodstains on the floor. During murder-investigation scenes, short animations depict various stages of the crimes (e.g., a victim's head slammed onto a table a character getting shot). Some characters use guns against Batman, and the game's multiplayer mode allows players to engage in third-person shooter matches. Players punch, kick, and use fantastical weapons (e.g., electrically charged gloves) to defeat enemies. Players control Batman through urban environments as he solves crimes, battles thugs, and searches for villains. This is an action-adventure game featuring characters and storylines from the Batman universe.
