We don the famous black suit and smash into the latest Arkham title to find out if Origins packs a punch or if it is merely riding the coattails of its predecessors.
PROS
A big world; competent graphics; an engrossing storyline; and highly enjoyable gameplay.
CONS
Does not really bring anything new to the Batman Arkham franchise.
VERDICT
For players who could not get enough of the action in Arkham City, Origins is a worthy investment, while those interested in the backstory to Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Batman’s own tale can also pay the money. Gamers looking for something new will be disappointed though.
