You've heard of Batman no doubt, but if you don't read comics, it's conceivable that you might be unfamiliar with Arkham Asylum. The iconic psychiatric hospital is essentially Gotham City's Alcatraz, and it has housed just about every villain Batman has ever tangled with at one time or another.

Story mode really sucks you in; Uncomplicated combat is fast-paced and looks fantastic; Tons of cool stuff to unlock; including Challenge mode maps; Audio and visual presentation is uniformly impressive; You won't want to stop playing even after you've solved all 240 riddles

Too tempting to play through the entire game in detective vision mode; Supervillains that you don't get to fight feel like missed opportunities

Great game. I am not into the games but as comic fan, hear a lot about this one. First game I have ever purchased but I have to say I am really enjoying this. On the brighter side it was Game Of Year addition with few more maps. Price is affordable, plus the delivery is really fast.

Challenging; Easy to learn; Fun To Play; Good Audio; Graphics

No problems with the game. It is brilliant, a lot to do so will last a while. But I did pay for 1st Class post & this & another game I ordered together were 2 days late.

What an awesome game! The story is fantastic, the gameplay is really good and you really can feel yourself entering the world of Batman. The villains are really well developed and the combat is very fun.

i read all the reviews and watched most of the vids before i bought the game.i didnt want too spend the money on it only too have another beat them up game and being repetative.the graphics are amazing,all the characters look wicked and you get too use batmans cool gadgets.after playing for 10 mins...

Donning the cowl of the Caped Crusader and venturing into Gotham's legendary madhouse is serious fun-for a little while.

Rich in references for true Batmaniacs; Exciting action sequences; Considerable replay potential; Solid online components

Potentially repetitive, frustrating battle scenes; Story mode is on the short side

Not only a brilliantly authentic presentation of its subject matter but a tremendous game in its own right, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a big, clever and finely crafted experience which propels Rocksteady immediately into the realm of triple-A developers. This year's BioShock. That's what it is.

The superbly; nightmarishly realized Arkham; The brutally satisfying stealth and combat; How right the whole thing feels

A couple of unnecessary; overly traditional boss fights; Maybe missing a couple of your favorite villains; Finally finishing it

As far as video games are concerned, Batman hasn't been very lucky. With the exception of a great NES game based on the first Tim...

At this point it's fairly safe to say that we like and, since you've probably already let your eyes flick down to the bottom of the page, you know we're going to give it a good score.
