Cant help but be a little surprised by this. According to google analytics I get quite a bit of traffic looking for information on the inverted takedown move Batman can perform in Batman: Arkham Asylum
I’m assuming people want to know how to do it etc.. firstly, it’s an upgrade you can unlock with points from XP/level ups so get that sorted. To pull off the move, move Batman up to a gargoyle and wait for a henchman to walk underneath. Aim the camera down and at the target, then press Y (yellow) on the Xbox pad, and I would assume TRIANGLE on the PS3 pad (Not played the PS3 version so cant confirm this. Given the pad/button layouts on other games I see no reason why it wouldn’t be mapped to triangle though).
Have fun stringing the bad guys up, and don’t forget.. if you do an inverted takedown, swing away to another gargoyle and batarang the rope when his henchmen mates are standing under him for an achievement on the Xbox 360. (Again, cant say if there is one for this action on the PS3 but I would imagine its the same. Give it a try and find out)
I love this!
A user on the official Batman: Arkham Asylum forums had an issue with the game, specifically the glide ability. Cheshirec_the_cat posts;
“Hi!
I’ve got a problem when it’s time to use Batman’s glide in the game. When I hold , like it’s said to jump from one platform to another, Batman tries to open his wings again and again instead of gliding. So he fels down in a poisoning gas. If somebody could tel me, what should I do there.”
He may have been suprised to see this reply from a forum admin;
“The problem you have encountered is a hook in the copy protection, to catch out people who try and download cracked versions of the game for free.
It’s not a bug in the game’s code, it’s a bug in your moral code.”

Great game. Completed it over the weekend and working on challenege maps now. Could well be the first game I actually go out of my way to 100% the achievements too.
I cant really say much that has not been said already. Good story, great voice overs (all familiar from the 90′s cartoons), nice mix of gameplay from action, to exploration, to puzzle solving… Batman has a little of everything for everyone and it never feels stretched thin.
I’m really hoping we see at least one follow up game from Rocksteady as they obviously respect the source material a great deal.
