Batman can't die in Arkham Asylum

Thursday 9-Jul-2009 12:01 PM Prince of Persia style 'second chances' for those who aren't that good.

4 Comments

Batman will have 'second chances' to ensure he doesn't die in Arkham Asylum, according to MTV Multiplayer.

If you take a wrong step while leaping around the higher reaches of Arkham Asylum, the game will slow down while you're falling to your doom and prompt you to hit a button so you can grapple back onto the ledge.

It sounds very Prince of Persia, where a wonky leap would see Elika save you and essentially 'reset' the situation. You can still die at the hands of the Arkham Asylum inmates but it seems the leaping about has been padded out with safety nets so you don't die.

It caused controversy with Prince of Persia so we'll have to see if it does the same with Batman: Arkham Asylum. Do these 'anti-death' measures rob the game of its challenge or prevent frustration from kicking in?
