    Totally underrated

    I don't know why for God sake this game is so hated...first to say is my favourite from all Batman games.The story is amazing,the graphics and the most enjoyable thing is probably the boss fights.Troy Baker's Joker is such a good choice.Bane was also well portrayed in this game.I wish i could erase my memories and play it again for the first time.

    Batman at any cost

    So this third game of the Arkham Saga you must know that this game is not really an official game because it is not the same publishing house that created the first two So as I have already said in the previous ones I will talk about two things always the first is the story So this timeThis game is a prequel So in this story they don't really tell from the beginning the story of Batman which was never mentioned when Batman was a wanted man Then Commissioner Gordon wants everything to set Batman up but at the same time another person also wants it or the black mask who has hired assassins that's how they want to take him Batman is Batman has to sign all this So what do I think of the story for me the story Among the four games I consider it the most beautiful for me it was better than all because in this story we really have a beautiful Batman and U. SBatman who was seen in Arkham City who seemed like an idiot instead in this Origin for me it was really beautiful for example that this is a Batman who wants every way to save Gotham and no he uses any way to save that hateful bounty for something that doesn't matter to meI like it I didn't like That black mask was actually the Joker Ugh But it's really impossible that they always put this character in everything interesting you find him it seems like he's just a black mask and a bad guy No why do I have to put the Jokers every day the story I rate 8.5 Alice let's start thereplayability The only negative thing about playability if this game is set in the past how is it possible that everything is very sophisticated compared to the previous two which had increased in the present the same thing that also happened in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and then this time the map it's for all of Gotham City since the previous two which were set on the island of Arkham Asylum is arkham city and then the movements are really fantastic and then this time to go to places much further away flying vehicle and then here there are a lot of resignations secondary but the one that II like it much more when Batman investigates murder cases. This one is much more beautiful regarding the game. I found it very beautiful, unlike the second one but less beautiful than the first and I can't wait to talk about the last game too to conclude I vote 8.5.

    A nice prequel in the series

    I remember hearing about this game coming out nearly a year ago. And right from the start I became excited because I've been a die hard Batman fan since I was 6 and the previous 2 Arkham games were amazing. But then I began to have mixed emotions as the months fallowed. I heard that Rocksteady games wasn't making the 3rd installment in the series and I was worried because some new video game would screw up the series where we get a game too kid friendly and PG like and too much like that crappy 1997 Batman and Robin film. And I had heard that the game wont fallow the previous 2 games and I was let down by this considering I thought that a instant sequel to Arkham City was needed since their were a lot of questions fallowing Arkham City and I thought a 3rd fallow up game was needed. And of course finding out that Kevin Conroy wasn't voicing Batman and that another actor was needed to voice a younger Batman had me very worried. So in overall the question was could a prequel game really live up to the previous 2 games?

    Well I got the game yesterday and I can say it does have its pro's and cons.

    The Pro's. The open world environment. Gotham City looked just amazing and dark which helped keep the feel of the previous 2 games intact. And the idea of 8 assasians coming to Gotham City to kill Batman for 50 million dollars was very interesting. And it was nice to see the Black Mask getting more time in the game. And some of the villains in the game I never expected to see ever were in it. I also liked how it was the same control system as the previous 2 games because I had this belief the new video game company would change everything around to make it harder. The Con's. The off by a couple of second glitches. Every time I get into the batwing the game slightly freezes up. This was too familiar with Arkham City. When Arkham City came out I remember how that game had lots of bugs. Mainly the whole box popping up and the damaged download content crap that caused peoples game systems to constantly reset. I also found it slightly strange that Batman has the same weapons he did in Arkham City. If Origons takes place years before the previous 2 games shouldn't Batman not had had the same weapons he had in Arkham City. And if he did have these weapons the whole time shouldn't he had them when Arkham Asylum and Arkham City came along?

    The verdict.

    I will admit when this game was coming out and after hearing info on it I almost didn't get the game. I had worries from the start that this game wouldn't be as good and this game would likely end the series with a whimper. But I will admit it surpassed my expectations. Roger Craig Smith did a great job voicing a younger Batman. As did Troy Baker with voicing the younger Joker. And I was delighted they kept the dark atmosphere of the other 2 games intact. You cant have Batman be in a non dark feel. It just wouldn't be the same. So Warner Brothers Montreal. You did a great job. I rate the game as a 9. I recommend the game to anyone who hasn't played it.

    Extremely Underrated!

    Batman Arkham Origins was absolutely awesome! The combat with all the punching, kicking, and gadgets was very fun! The boss battles were also extremely cool especially the boss battle against Deathstroke and Firefly. The scenery with the very snowy Gotham City was beautiful. The story had some very funny moments. The story was another great story about take the fight to evil, don't ever murder, don't loose confidence, take care of your family, and don't be doubtful! Without doubt this is one of the best video games ever and is extremely underrated! Have a great day and goooo Batman Arkham Origins!

    The Black Sheep Of The Arkham Franchise

    This is game is amazing, it is a amazing take on Batman, Gotham and the Characters. The gameplay is also quite impressive with a good balance of Combat & Predator missions as well as full use of Batman's detective skills. The winter/Christmas setting works perfectly as a contrast from the darkening story.

    While the game is amazing it feels like it should be setting up another trilogy of Batman games. It doesn't feel with like it connects with the timeline that Arkham Asylum to Knight set up. The result of this being it's outcasted by most fans. Making it quite underrated.

    Rating: 8.75 / 10. Impressive but doesn't feel like it belongs to it's franchise.

      Alfred Pennyworth: Master Bruce. Stop. Master Bruce. BRUCE!

      Bruce Wayne: What are you...

      Alfred Pennyworth: I will not in good conscience allow you to go. You are outmatched by these assassins and...

      Bruce Wayne: I'm what?

      Alfred Pennyworth: ...you're not some hardened vigilante. You're a young man with a trust fund and too much anger. You are in over your head and I don't want this to be your end.

      Bruce Wayne: Alfred, who do you see when you look at me? The boy whose shoes you used to tie every morning, the teenager you drove to his first date? While you are here every night, I am out there... the ONLY THING between the innocent and the predatory...

      Alfred Pennyworth: You may be, but...

      Bruce Wayne: No, not 'may be'. I am. When the mugger or the thief stop to think twice, that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins - because I am the reason the criminals breathe easier when the sun rises. So no, Alfred, I am NOT in over my head. Tonight will not be my end. But it will be theirs.
