    If you've played any of the earlier Arkham games, you know what you're getting into. The combat is smooth and fluid and is easily one of the biggest draws for this game. However as I pressed on, hour after hour, the formula is beginning to wear a bit thin. If you've never played a Batman game, and could only pick one, I would recommend going with the excellent Arkham City. If you've already played Arkham Asylum and Arkham City and are itching for more, you can't go wrong with this game.

    Amazing game. Best Buy absolutely delivered a good one. Best of the series. Only problem was with UPS when It arrived I opened it right away to find the case was racked and broken. The discs were just fine but I did not appreciate the lack of concern over the handling of my package. Nothing Best Buy could have done being it was sealed and new. Best Buy still hasn't let me down so don't misunderstand me. UPS isn't always concerned over delivering you a flawless package.

    There were some initial launch issues, but like the other Arkham series of games, this one has been great. There's a large world to explore and many challenges and collectibles beyond the main story play.

    Almost a great follow up to the other Arkham title

    Arkham Origins is a great game that is hindered by the many, many flaws it has. Constant crashes, freezes, an unreliable log in system, among other things, just ruin the experience for me. The story and voice-acting is top notch, but WB Montreal should have added more polish for a AAA title with this many problems. Without the bugs, this game would be rated higher from me.

    This is a great edition to the Arkham series. This seemed somewhat of a letdown in comparison to Arkham City. The gameplay is very similar but I feel like the countering system is a little different so takes a little to get used to. Enemies seem much harder during combat but overall a great game. If you liked the previous Arkham games, you will like this one. Multiplayer is a great addition just not too many multiplayer games on Xboxlive.

    A fun game to play if you're a fan of Arkham Asylum and City. However, the game wasn't programmed by Rocksteady so be prepared for some slight changes in the game mechanics.

    If you have played any of the other Batman's by now, you understand what you are getting into. A great game with improved graphics, newer weaponry and abilities, but not altogether different, so there is a lot of familiarity. If you have not played the others, this will not seem so repetitive and the Batman franchise really has done well to create a series of games that keeps people coming back to them.

    Batman Arkham Origins is a great game for those who like Batman and have played Arkham Asylum and Arkham City but don't expect anything different here. It is not worth full price; I picked it up on sale when it was $39.99 and then applied a $5 rewards zone gift card. Overall it's a good game but nothing award winning.

    Game is stunning. My opinion is that it's way better than Arkham Asylum but not quite as good as Arkham City. Can't wait for the new one although I will get it for ps4

    Very similar to the other games in the Batman Arkham series, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But if you've played those and didn't like them I would avoid this one as well. Boss battles are the best and most challenging aspect. Large open world that's fun to glide around in. Overall a pretty good game.

    I know they have a game rating system but some parents don't pay attention simple because they see Batman and assume it's fine. This game is not for younger kids!

    Overall its a good game, its up there with the pervious entries. It was really glitch. Also I felt the challenge mode combat maps should rewards medals based how fast you beat instead of punches you get. The gadgets I think were one of the definite high lights of the game and were the best out of all the games. The plot I felt was very good and unpredictable as it should be.

    got this for my son for a Christmas present, and even though I haven't played it myself, from what my son has told me and what I've seen, if you liked the other batman:arkham games you'll enjoy this one too. graphics are just as good, gameplay is the same. no surprises here, and no real improvements over the other arkham games, but still a good game if you enjoy the others.
