Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise.
Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, players will meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2014Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified Purchaseyup. they keep getting better and better the WB Batman games. Trying new stuff. new weapons. new enemies. a young batman learns fast that he will need more than just the means to fight injustice in this doomed crusade to rid Gotham of crime and evil.
the additions of Alfred actually taking part in on screen dialogue and seeing a younger Jim Gordon and his curious daughter Barbara + a whole host of other criminals is fresh turnaround. The young Joker especially reminds of a near perfect blend of Jack Nicholson (BATMAN 1989) and Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight 2008). I was blown away by the story and the Map is large. the world is larger. you see parts of Gotham you did not see in the 1st two games. If only Twentieth Century fox learned from these Warner Brothers, we'd all be spending more on Aliens Vs Predator and of course a much better Aliens Colonial marines. easy to blame game developers for lack of depth and imagination and responsibility but as the Parent company owning rights to big franchises you would keep a close eye on things. - back to the game -
i love it. corny to say but yes i do.
long game.
Cons:
glitches were a pain. game would freeze after maybe 5 mins, 30 mins, 2 hours. did not care just froze. and froze entire xbox 360 as well. had to turn off and load from last checkpoint/ auto save.
the fights are repetitive. yes we like to glide. we like to grapnel. can we PLEASE DRIVE THE FREAKING BAT-MOBILE rather than just see it parked in a bat-cave going through some pimping from a broody superhero who probably needs to spend more time as Bruce Wayne in psychiatric treatment - he ignores hot women to save Gotham - that is a problem and needs fixing - but I like him and prefer him that way.
all in all - a familiar more than satisfied positive experience spiced with a touch of annoying glitching and game freezing. which was resolved by some updates and fixes
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2014Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified PurchaseDon't get why everyone is slamming this game so much. Its Like Assassins Creed it just takes the formula and adds more content to an already established series we're used to this now and I'm happy to having something to play while I wait for Rocksteady's next game. Personally I've really enjoyed it I thought both the new voice actors were great and the story was decent. It has everything the other games has but I finally get to play in a much more badass looking Batsuit, result.
Only real con is its a prequel so you know nothing major character wise is going to happen but there was some great bits and I liked fighting all the different assassins. I think the only real issue is going back after the massive ending cliffhanger in Arkham City leaves you wanting more from this game. Still there's plenty to do and its a lot like Arkham CIty which I like, I think if you were new to the Arkham franchise and you started here it would actually have been much more fun...this is an issue with prequels.
Plus side the city is much larger, gadgets and gameplay is great and the voice acting is top notch. Multiplayer is strange but a bit different I didn't mind it but much like Assassins Creed its an afterthought really. I can't speak for other formats but the 360 version has been patched and I haven't noticed anything drastic or game breaking to cause an issue and I've completed it twice now so I wouldn't let that put you off.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2016Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase‘Arkham Origins’ is a prequel to the videogame ‘Arkham Asylum’, and the story takes place about 5 years prior to the events of that latter game. It forms part of the wider ‘Arkham’ universe – although is made by a different studio. In many respects, ‘Origins’ is similar in layout, design and objective to the other games in this series – although it adds a couple of new things, and offers an original storyline. Overall, if you have enjoyed the other entries in this series, you’ll probably like ‘Origins’.
The game allows you to play as Batman, from a third-person perspective (‘over-the-shoulder’) and you exist in a large open-world environment within Gotham City. The story takes place quite early on in Batman’s career as a heroic crime-fighter – and, while many hoodlums are aware of “The Bat”, many don’t yet fear him. And yet Batman is making in-roads into the criminal underworld, and so the gangsters want him out of the way. With this in mind, the Black Mask places a $50 million bounty on Batman … leading many gangs, crooks and hitmen to try and kill Batman. So we see the likes of Killer Croc, Bane, Copperhead and Deathstroke enter the fray – all intent on Batman’s downfall. And, taking advantage of the mayhem, a new super-villain makes his presence known: as the Joker.
It’s a very good game – and lots of fun to play. While there’s lots of fighting (which could get somewhat repetitive), there’s plenty of detective work involved. Visually, the game looks superb. And the music is excellent. The voice-work is good (although, using different actors than in the other games in the series, it takes a while to get accustomed to who’s speaking). Even though this game was made a different studio, it does really interconnect in so many ways – in terms of story development – with the Rocksteady games. As for me, I consider this a quadrilogy of Batman adventures.
This is the standard edition of the game (which, at the time of reviewing, costs only £5 - so a bargain). Yet there is additional content, and unfortunately these DLC's have to be paid for. If you buy the 'Complete Edition' you get all the extras included.

GiacomoReviewed in Italy on 11 September 20155.0 out of 5 stars è sempre un arkham
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified PurchaseParto da presupposto che in molti criticano il gioco perché quasi identico a batman arkham city, ma un appassionato della serie non se lo farebbe scappare a mio avviso. Ho giocato solo poche ore, quindi non posso dare un giudizio complessivo ma posso dire che graficamente è meglio del suo predecessore (arkham city), la storia comincia a farsi interessante e si affrontano fin da subito boss importanti, ognuno da affrontare in maniera diversa, e questo è una cosa molto positiva (fantastica a mio avviso quella con Deathstroke). Ci sono alcuni gadget nuovi, il sistema di combattimento è sempre quello, anzi, migliorato di quel che basta per eliminare i piccoli difetti presenti in arkham city. Ci sono inoltre nemici che attaccano in maniera differente, come ad esempio con la rincorsa, (cosa presente su batman arkham knight). C'è una simpatica novità nella fase detective, con la quale ricostruire i delitti (anche questa messa su arkham knight). E finalmente si vede batman con un costume simile a quello della trilogia del cavaliere oscuro. La mamma è grande il doppio, e ci si può spostare anche con il batwing vista la grande ampiezza. Chi si sarebbe messo a stravolgere un gioco che ha fatto grande successo come quelli di arkham? A mio avviso warne bros ha fatto il suo, con delle migliorie che aggiungono qualcosina in più ad un gioco che arriva già al massimo delle sue possibilità, anche grafiche, per la generazione old gen.
Stra consigliato ai fan del cavaliere oscuro.
Amazon sempre impeccabile, gioco arrivato in anticipo di 5 giorni.

UvhataReviewed in Spain on 12 June 20155.0 out of 5 stars En todos los sentidos muy correcto
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified PurchaseEl juego es el peor de los tres sacados hasta la fecha bien esta decirlo que el equipo de los dos primeros no es el mismo y se nota, tiene mecanicas perfectas aunque en ocasiones tiene una bajada de fps que no es de mi agrado, bien es cierto que por el precio y la calidad merece la pena de sobra adquirirlo
Brittany HallReviewed in the United States on 18 September 20255.0 out of 5 stars Arguably The Best Batman Game!!!!!!!!
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified PurchaseThis game is amazing its basically Arkham City mechanics wise but the fact that its a young angry batman who doesn't know how to control his anger and is so brutal that its amazing needs a remaster/remake soon

NagoreReviewed in Spain on 22 January 20165.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen juego
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Standard EditionVerified PurchaseSigue los videojuegos anteriores de Batman, misma jugabilidad. Totalmente en castellano aunque la versión sea inglesa. Muchas aventuras paralelas a la central, basadas en el suicide squad. Un básico para cualquier gamer!
