Great game, doesn’t even show it’s age.

UPDATE: Tattieboggle gamepad driver now works with Arkham Asylum! The latest update just pushed out to users allows for the use of Xbox 360 gamepads with Yosemite. A quick google search will allow you to download the driver for free. Please note that you have to have either a wired controller, or a wireless dongle for the wireless gamepad.

I’m truly amazed at a game when it’s already about 5 - 6 years old, and you’d never be able to tell. This is one action title I missed when it was in it’s prime, and so when I upgraded to a 2014 MBP, I decided I would test it’s graphical chops with a classic.

I’ve played through story mode twice with no crashes, bugs or any other issues. Graphics and resolution settings are completely maxed out and the game doesn’t show a hint of lag. Interestingly I tried turning off graphic switching in sytem preferences, and this made it almost unplayable, so if you have a dual Nvidia/Iris Pro combo, keep the swtiching on!!!

Controls are fine with a mouse and notebook keyboard, but the default controls are a little awkward, and the mapping is limited (ie. I couldn’t map a move to the command key).
