Michael Donahoe made me think after his news blips today. Really can Mini Ninja's be better then Batman who is a kick ass crime fighter? Well I am going to put it through a 5 question test of my own to see who would win.
1 - On the Global scale which one stands to loose the most in the game?
Batman: In this game it appears the most he will lose is Arkham Asylum, Cops, Gotham and his pride.
Mini Ninja's: Reading up on this game over all they lose there homes, all wildlife and the world.
Winner: On a global scale Mini Ninja's is the winner.
2 - For any Dark Knight or Ninja Stealth is a key. Which one is stealthier?
Batman: With the use of shadows and his trust belt he is a force to be reckoned with. Many people fear the belt alone as it contains who knows what.
Mini Ninja's: You may not see them as they have the power to use the animals they free. With this kind of stealth you can walk past enemies who will be none the wiser.
Winner: This one is a tie for me. As I love to play in the dark, but also love to be hidden in plain sight.
3 - Many people will flame me for putting graphics as a key. I just know many people love the sleek look and or fun feeling of graphics.
Batman: As this game appears towards a more mature graphic color during the game. It is simply amazing on the visuals that are being produced while playing.
Mini Ninja's: With bright colors to catch the attention of anyone walking by. These color's flow and glisten when playing the game. It is a light and fun to look at game.
Winner: Tie once again. As much as people love more realistic games. Think about all the games who have a cartoon feel to them that were just as awesome to play.
4 - Moves are key and how they are pulled off will effect any game you play. Which one has the better moves?
Batman: With the help of his utility belt Batman has an arrangement of moves to utilize. Not just because of the belt, but what he holds in the belt to help create different moves.
Mini Ninja's: Having mystical powers to up grade are always nice when facing hordes of enemies. As well as the different weapons you can weild with certain characters.
Winner: Batman has won this round. Because no matter how you look at it Batman always comes up with great moves when in a tight spot.
5 - Exploring is a big key in each of these games.
Batman: In this sandbox game you are playing in Arkham Asylum. Searching ever corner for clues what to do next and maybe find hidden secrets. What else could you ask for in a sandbox game.
Mini Ninja's: They take exploring to many lands with various scenery to explore. Exploring adventure games takes more time to make sure every rock was un covered. While exploring you get the sense of adventure in the game.
Winner: My pick is to Mini Ninja's as exploring in a sandbox game gets repetative. Now exploring on an adventure game makes it a little more challenging more times then not.
Total is : Batman: Arkham Asylum 1 ---- Mini Ninja's 2 ---- Tie 2
No matter which way you go this fall you will have fun, but in this VS match up Mini Ninja's won overall.
