Imagine if you’d gone to see The Hobbit’s first film and once Bilbo Baggins and co left his house, the screen went black and they just *arrived* at Smaug’s abode? You’d feel rather miffed, yes? That really feels like a missed opportunity. You just *arrive* at your destination with the screen going black, briefly, inbetween, the hum of the vehicle’s engine being heard but not seen. However, before I set off for the first part of the mission proper – to find Nightwing – I had an option for two vehicles, including the Batmobile, and was looking forward to driving it through the streets…. Despite all its faults, I saw it in 3D and there’s a scene where Scarlett Johansson is ‘recharging’, with you being made to feel like you’re right inside the pod with her – and that’s how I felt here, too.īatman Arkham VR (Oculus Rift) (1080p HD, 60fps, DTS 5.1) – PC – DVDfeverGames The claustrophic feeling you get as you’re housed within an enclosed space rather reminds me of a point in the recent Ghost In The Shell live-action movie.
The ending sequence is a nice mindflip, since you have to look all around you as events play out, and it neatly wrong-foots and surprises you with its twists and turns. not the actually running, jumping and shooting segments. Imagine the early Tomb Raider games, but just the puzzle-solving bits. The Batman games are always about ‘being the Batman’, but here, you feel rather constrained in that fashion. However, what was disappointing is that it essentially plays out like a point-and-click adventure, since when you want to get from A to B around a location, there’s a series of checkpoint-style markers that you can hop between rather than physically walking about. One of the best things about this is that it encapsulates the world of Batman and Gotham City along with his foes including the Joker ( Mark Hamill), the Penguin ( Ian Redford) and Joe Chill ( Glenn Wrage) who offed Batman’s parents.
Has he gone out on the lash with Robin ( Troy Baker)? Sometimes, ol’ Robbie might need a bit of Dick time. However, in the role of Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy), you don the cowl in order to track down Nightwing (aka aka Dick Grayson) after he’s disappeared.
Batman Arkham VR is set before the events of 2015’s Batman Arkham Knight, a game which had immeasurable issues on the PC, took months to fix and by the time it was ready, my button-bashing digits were busy with other electronic offerings.
