Batman: Arkham Origins - [Nintendo Wii U] (Video Game)

Customer Review

As a big fan of the two predecessors of course I did not even pass this part of the series.
Although I Part 1 & 2 yet played on the PC, I wanted here now sure to grab Wii U version, because I desperately needed something new to play for the console.

We were ready for an indication for the people who like me desperately looking for the menu for exclusive content, where you can unlock the "Deathstroke-DLC" according to enclosed flyer: The menu does not exist!
I do not know if that was perhaps somehow added to the versions currently sold yet, but this menu simply does not with me in the game. The DLC can be yet to unlock, albeit in completely different way.
For this you have to go into the Wii U shop and go to the menu for top-up. Then you choose the charging e-Shop card and there are the code of the small Deathstroke Flyer.
God knows why this guide is wrong, but this route was nowhere described and I saw him get out only on suspicion ...

For game in:
Anyone familiar with the predecessor (especially Arkham City), who knows what awaits him. The game really is different from the gameplay ago only marginally from its direct predecessor. I chalk however, not to give a negative point. Arkham Origins gets currently in various reviews for this very reason comparatively low ratings, although, for example sports games despite annual show no significant changes over and over again high ratings received (what a double standard). But one thing I like the gameplay always was: Hardly any other game lets players defeat repeatedly seemingly overpowering opponents quantities, and all look so fluid and comprehensible, as in this game series. You just go over and over again in a fight against 15 Gangster and feels less "I'm Batman ... and this types are the same on the ground".
Basically, you get the same quality as in the last part, but with a different story, namely Batman start time in Gotham City. The story I do not want to anticipate too much, however.
The technical implementation of the Game can be basically described as very clean. The city and its characters is depicted beautifully, especially the blowing snow gives the whole a eingenes flair.
Overall, you have to admit, however, that the Wii U over the PC version but must leave some feathers. Nevertheless, it looks on the whole simply super.
One thing that probably has currently only the Wii U is the integration of touch gamepad. Unfortunately, I have not played Arkham City on the Wii U, and can not draw any direct comparison. It seems to have the gamepad features but somewhat reduced. It limited itself during play actually on the presentation and use of the city map, which works great. In some situations, the use changes then but also times, for example in the detective mode. Here you can then explore in first-person view using the integrated motion sensor crime scenes, which works great. The rest of the control of the hero, functions the same perfectly.
One more thing for Gamepad: OFF TV Play is supported and can be activated in the menu!

Conclusion: Those who expect incredibly great innovations for direct predecessor here, is unfortunately a bit disappointed. All other expected again a great game in the usual high quality of the Arkham series. Batman fans ... for you!
