    Batman: Arkham Asylum is the rebirth of superhero video games and the beginning of something big.

    ** 3/5 stars **

    *PLAYING*: Arkham Asylum incorporates a very well-implemented and exquisite combat for bat fans.
    The combination of combat, stealth and investigation is a win-win.

    *GRAPHICS*: A monster in 2009 with a wonderful artistic section.
    With PhysX enabled there are very curious and immersive details.

    *SOUND*: The worst section of this Arkham Asylum by far. Good dubbing in Castilian Spanish and special effects, but the soundtrack is bland and tasteless at best.

    *INNOVATION*: Arkham Asylum is the starting point of the superhero video games that want to be respected.    … Expand

    Another shocker that no one has reviewed the GOTY edition. It's now the standard. Great game, no disappointments, but the series just goes on to bigger and better things.

    By far the best entry in the trilogy. This is how you adapt a comic book story as well known as Batman to a game while being faithful to the original work. How Rocksteady achieved that, is a mystery to me. All in all, amazing atmosphere and attention to details.

    This game has aged well, providing a fantastic Batman experience. The story is excellent, the graphics look good even for 2020, and the player control is phenomenal. I did experience a few crashes, odd freezing and other problems, but only a handful of times throughout my play experience.

    If I were to rate the game on the extra content alone, not the main story, I would say this is still a game worth adding your your library. Very enjoyable experience.    … Expand
