Review of Batman: Arkham Origins

**Contains Spoliers**

 This is the third game of the franchise, as Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City came before it.  This game goes back to start of Batman as you get to see how he has turn into the Dark Knight of the streets.   They have some lesser known villains in this game which to me makes it a bit more interesting, instead of having the same ones show up all the time.  

 Well the story goes like this Black Mask hired eight assassins to kill Batman.  Deathstroke, Copperhead, Electrocutioner, Bane, Firefly, Killer Croc, Deadshot, and Shiva.  They have side bosses you can fight to, like the Mad Hatter, Bird, Anarchy, Penguin, Black Mask, Escape prisoners, and even crime scenes you have to investigate.

 The Good:
1. Deathstroke fight was awesome and fun to do and a little difficultly to it, He even takes off his helmet and makes a wise crack at batman.
2. Investigation system was bit a more fun as it has you searching in several places for all the clues.
3. I liked the Firefly fight because of the bridge was collapsing and you was surrounded by fire as he shot at you.  
4. I like the fact this game had some lesser known villains in it.  Copperhead, Bird, Firefly, and Shiva.
5. Bane in the cut scenes was really cool even better then joker at some times.
6. Penguins ship I thought was really cool looking fun to get around it.
7. Riddler like usual making fun of you on the radio.
8. The fighting controls I always loved on this series.

 The Bad:
1. I didn't like the fact that it was Joker the whole time in Black Mask outfit causing chaos and hired all the assassins.  I thought it would be cool to have a game with somebody else as the main villain in my opinion.  I was a little bit sad about that when Joker reviled himself.
2. I thought a lot of the side mission were the same in the game just called something different.
3. Killer Croc I was a bit disappointed in him.
4. I didn't like the fact you had to unlock points to grapple longer distances.
5. I felt this game didn't have as much into it like content as its other two games before it did.  I felt like it was rushed.
6. Not all the boss fights were hard just kind of easy.  (But that is me)
7. Upgrades to all your weapons I thought could of used some more thought into.
8. The GCPD all the way in the game.  (Jim Gordon doesn't count)

 The what just happen:
1. The boss fight or if you could even call it that with Electrocutioner.  All you have to do is attack him once and he was down for that count.  Don't be like me waiting a couple minutes for him to make the first move just attack him.  When that happen I laugh a lot.
2. Jokers voice acting was a bit weird and didn't seems like himself through out the game.  I guess I will always love Mark Hamill voice acting.

 Overall I give the game 6.5 out of 10.  Wasn't a bad game at all just seemed like that was rushed a lot by the company.  Also it seemed like a cheap ploy to bring in Joker instead of Black Mask.  I would recommend this game to buy, but only if you are a Comic Book fan and or you like action games.
This is my first review I have ever done I hope I did a good job on it.

Tell me what you think about it please like ot hear your share about it.
