10 Single-Player Video Games With Insanely Underrated Multiplayer Modes

7. Batman: Arkham Origins

If there was ever a time you would think a multiplayer would be lazily tacked onto a game, it would have to be this one. However, WB Games went up and out of their way to make sure this didn't feel like a lifeless addition.

Under the name of Invisible Predator Online, this game mode was a very non-traditional 2v3v3. One team consisted of Joker's thugs, the other Bane's, while the other team was none other than the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin. Every member of every team was player controlled, and after a certain amount of time, players controlling a Bane or Joker thug would get to control their respected ring leader.

For those controlling Batman or Robin, they worked on intimidation just like in the core game. You'd have to strike fear in the thugs who were both fighting each other over a hold point. The difference in play styles from the thugs to Batman, to even Joker and Bane, lead to a fun and balanced experience. As different as it was, it was probably the best way to go about a Batman multiplayer experience that featured core characters.

Unfortunately, if you missed the boat on this one, you've missed it forever, because in December 2016, WB Games shut down the multiplayer experience for Batman: Arkham Origins for good. Still, there's potentially Arkham Insurgence.
