It's quite simple really.

You obviously chain moves by using the same attack button.

If you connect a blow and have only pressed the button once (instead of repeatedly pressing) it scores a critical hit, which ups the score.

You raise the combo multiplyer by linking other moves into the combination which are.
1.Punch
2.Counter
3.Take Down
4.Throw
5.Somersault Evade
6.Ground Take Down
7.Batarang
8.Stun
9.Batclaw

If you get all 9 in one combo you get a large bonus. Batarangs and the Batclaw can be activated by tapping the respective shoulder button once (on PS3).

Normally a good way to start is Batclaw ->Stun with Cape ->Somesault evade over the stunned thug->then begin the attack and link the other moves in from there.

Ideally knock the last thug down with the Batarang and then use the ground takedown to finish the combo.

Hope that helps

Thanks. At some point I'll probably try again. As a button masher, though, it feels like I have to slow down my responses so much I stop paying attention to what's happening on screen...

Once you get into the flow of it, it's really easy, best tip is don't concentrate on just one guy, keep aiming for a different one for each strike and it'll help you rack up a larger combo.

Plus the take down will give you a few seconds to catch your breath and plan your next target.

thats like going into the MW2 thread and asking why people are posting pictures of their soap statues or night vision goggles.

I just got Arkham Asylum this week, and I've been playing it for a few days now. OMG, this game is FREAKIN' amazing! Being a long-time fan of Batman the Animated series, I got a serious nerdgasm the first time I played it!

Same thing here. Got it for Christmas and it's freaking addicting, played it for like 4 hours yesterday and couldn't put it down.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum 2

I still have not finished the first one. It's a little boring and repetitive IMO. I am not a huge Batman fan either so that may be why I am not loving it.

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum 2

Man Joker totally got Fugly from that whatever he took...

 

[Buttmunch]

Re: Batman: Arkham Asylum 2

Yeah, I like how they evolved him. The Titan forumla messed him up. I also like that he is still missing the tooth just like at the end of the game when we see him get locked back up. That is a nice touch and makes that ending not just a gimmick. Joker was messed up before, but even more so now. I like it!

I just pray Hot Toys and DC Direct give us figures from these games! It would be cool if the Joker came with both AA1 and AA2 heads!

I was hoping someone else would be the big villain in the next one.

Two Face could possibly be the big Villain who knows, but damn the first game was amazing.
I believe AA1 was genuinely the Game of the Year 2009 it was such a great game.

I hope Twoface has a big role in this game. That would kick ass! :chew
