Abstract: Youve heard of Batman no doubt, but if you dont read comics, its conceivable that you might be unfamiliar with Arkham Asylum. The iconic psychiatric hospital is essentially Gotham Citys Alcatraz, and it has housed just about every villain Batman ha...

The best Batman (or, really, any comic-inspired) videogame ever made.
In stark contrast to the rest of the game, the boss fights arent very imaginative.
Story mode really sucks you in, Uncomplicated combat is fastpaced and looks fantastic, Tons of cool stuff to unlock, including Challenge mode maps, Audio and visual presentation is uniformly impressive, You wont want to stop playing even after youve solve...
Too tempting to play through the entire game in detective vision mode, Supervillains that you dont get to fight feel like missed opportunities.
You dont need to be a fan of Batman to enjoy this excellent third-person action game. ...
Abstract: So, arent licensed games meant to be bad? Did I miss a memo at some stage? First a great new entry in the Ghostbusters timeline, and now this, a cool new Batman story. What the hells going on? Im sorry, whats that? G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra? Watc...

Art direction, variety of stealth tactics, spectacular moments, addictive challenge maps, accessible controls, collectible riddles
Rote melee combat, dull stock opponents, recycled bosses, some throwaway upgrades, precious few super-villains.
Finally, a Batman game worthy of the taking on the mantle. It’s been a long time coming but they really hit one out of the park here. Stylish and wonderfully executed, Arkham Asylum is a visual marvel. ...
Abstract: Edwin Millheim10Dare we say it? I will, At last we have a Batman game that rocks. This is the game that is like another Batman Movie that places the gamer in the boots and cowl of the caped crusader. The experience of BEING the Batman is not 100% perf...
