Detail in the darkened rooms and dingy corridors of Arkham Asylum is always well defined. Just about every aspect of this game seems to have been designed around the ideal of finding variation in the shadows. A quick flick of the thumb-stick and you’re back to the original visuals, and when they look as nice as this it seems a pity to mess with them.
Thankfully, with the ability to toggle the 3D effect on or off at any moment via the pause menu, nobody is forced to endure what they may find a less than stellar experience. I’m afraid in this instance the implementation falls closer to the gimmick end of the spectrum than the cutting edge push into the third dimension we are likely to see in the next few years. Were this a brighter game the impact would arguably have been greatly lessened, but as it is the textures and subtle shades of the shadows are eroded of their delicacy and instead what we are left with is a duller, purple-tinged Batman who is skewed back to life by a ramped up contrast to the point where particular aspects positively beam out of a large screen.įrom a personal perspective, I found myself feeling vaguely nauseous and the overall effect was one of less than settling comfort. The downside is that the anaglyph stereoscopic image, comprising of differing coloured lenses through which you view two differently coloured pictures, destroys any semblance of colour fidelity that the original visuals had. It does create a sense of depth at given points and makes particular areas even a touch easier to navigate. Well, given that this is something implemented after the fact, it works to a certain degree. Being the catchword of the moment for both film and television, we are seeing it seeping even into the field of videogames now, and the hope will be that this fares somewhat better than the ill fated Nintendo Virtual Boy, with its headache inducing, eye straining visuals of yesteryear. Upon opening the box and firing up the game for the first time, the initial aspect most will want to assess with this new edition is just how well implemented the 3D is. The story is about as straightforward as they come The Joker has taken over Gotham City’s famed Arkham Asylum, and only Batman can stop him! Rightfully gaining numerous accolades along the way, and now having received a BAFTA award for “game of the year”, Square Enix/Eidos have decided to release a Game of The Year Edition which includes the extra content that was previously only available to download, as well as giving gamers the chance to play it all again, only this time in 3D. Kitts und Nevis, St.It focussed on the character as portrayed in his native comic books as opposed to his cinematic outings, and this sidestep, combined with the scripting talent of Eisner award winning writer/TV producer Paul Dini (whose work includes several Batman graphic novels), as well as solid gameplay made it an experience that was hailed by not only fans of the material, but by almost all who played it.
