The First 15 Minutes of Batman: Arkham Origins (Wii U)

4 days ago

Copied from MobyGames:

Batman: Arkham Origins is a prequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum and is set about one year after Bruce Wayne became Batman. The main villain is the drug lord Black Mask who assigns eight powerful villains to assassinate Batman once and for all. It is long before Arkham City was established and therefore Batman can explore the whole city.

The basic gameplay is unchanged to Arkham City. Batman still slides through the open city and visits more linear locations in plot missions. The fights use the series' trademark freeflow system. An important part of these fights is to react to the enemies. When said enemies have firearms, melee fights are out of the question and Batman has to use stealth.

Besides fighting even more enemies, there are side quests to solve, like stopping the sniper Deadbeat or solving the Enigma puzzles. The crime scene investigations with detective view were expanded and involve short videos which can be searched for clues.
