    Excellent is not the best word to describe this game. Epic, on the other hand, is. Great in every aspect, this game will give you a true gaming experience and you will love it even more if you are a Batman fan like me. No negative things to point out really. Best Batman game of all time.

    On a whole this game is excellent. It gets you into the story and keeps you there until the game ends. I loved the controls even though I used an Xbox 360 controller on my PC. I would recommend this highly to anyone who wants a good single player action game.

    It's hard to give a review for Arkham Asylum because Arkham City is far superior in every possible way. At the time this came out, it was about 8/10 and worth paying full price. In 2017, I would say you should buy this game if it's on sale for $10 or less.

    Plot summary:
    Joker has took control of Arkham Asylum,releasing murderers freaks and monsters,he is planning something huge,stop him.

    Batman Arkham Asylum is a dark,gritty take on the dark knight.The good thing is that it stays true to the comics with many familiar villains and a general batman story.But the plot has many twists and turns with a variety of challenges along the way.

    The game play is one of the best fighting action games I have ever seen.Its simple attack,combo and dodge. Thats what makes it good, its simple yet incredibly satisfying to punch a thug in the face the fly kick him across the room.You can get upgrades to upgrade certain moves you can do.Like combos and an move called an inverted take down where you can take down a thug from above them.

    The graphics are great,they have a very dark,dirty tone to them.Which sets the mood for Arkham Asylum.The character designs are brilliant-Batman has a bad ass suit.The joker looks like joker but more realistic and dark than ever.And everything just looks great.

    Overall I think Batman Arkham Asylum is a really good game.I thoroughly enjoyed it,I give it a solid 9/10    … Expand

    Justice. Fists. Batman.
    You are the caped crusader who is playing tango with your ultimate nemesis, the Joker. With a good handful of other villains added into the story, all well connected oh how and why. You can find so many hidden gems playing through Arkham Asylum that explore the story of other not so popular villains and characters in the Batman universe. Game is very linear but    Justice.

Roughly 10 hours of gameplay if you work on the story and some of the riddles around Arkham, I ended with about 75% completion on the first go through on hard difficulty.
    Only negative thing I would point out is some of the dialogue in non cut scenes between Batman and characters is bland and dull with very little emotion or effort put fourth. Dry.    … Expand

    The world is structured in a semi-open way and this is perfect for telling a story with linear gameplay and for hiding collectibles. It is almost like a 3D Metroidvania game, where you unlock new abilities just backtrack to the old area to get to the place that was previously inaccessible. And this gives an opportunity to hide a lot of collectibles. They are plenty of them but it was a joy to find them all.
    But this is the combat system that gave this game so much appreciation and I have to admit that it is well deserved. The combat is fluid and satisfying.
    This game is just a warm-up for the next games where the world really opens for the player, but I have to admit that this one has the best atmosphere out of all three games thanks to its closed structure.    … Expand

    This is the one that star it all. In this game you feel like the Batman. Some said that Arkham City is better for being an open game and I do love that, but there is something special in being in the asylum hunting the Joker. One of the greatest games ever!

    PROS: Graphics are good for a old game
    Very good combat, it is recommended you get the critical strike upgrade, combat does take time to master
    Think like a detective

    CONS
    There is none!

    Smaller and more intimate than any of its successors, Arkham Asylum thrives on its story, atmosphere and punchy free-flow gameplay. While missing the blatant heroics of Arkham City and Knight (and Origins), Asylum uses its smaller scope to provide a plethora of intricate details that would be lost in a larger game. A video-gaming classic.

    ++ No more Games For Windows Live (GFWL). It is gone.

    + Though older now, Arkham Asylum still looks great (Unreal 3). And, being older, it’s fairly easy to crank up the fancy settings.
    + Great voice-acting. Many major characters from Batman: The Animated Series are here, headlined by Hamill and Conroy, and includes Arleen Sorkin’s only appearance in the Batman games as Harley Quinn (Sorkin was replaced by Tara Strong for Arkham City and later installments).
    + Great soundtrack. Not as heroic as Arkham City’s, but darker and more moody.
    + Great atmosphere. Reeks of macabre gloom.
    + A large gallery of rogues in spite of being the smallest Arkham game (Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Bane, Joker, Zsasz and others).
    + The first iteration of the rhythmic Arkham combat is very satisfying, though with fewer gadgets and special moves compared to later games.
    + Packed with trivia and collectibles. Be sure to randomly scan with X-ray vision every now and then; you never know what you might discover. Refreshing to have some that are NOT Riddler-related.

    +/- Decent story. Once the Joker takes over, the momentum doesn’t slow until the end of the game. A few things might not make sense if you think about them too much, though.
    +/- Many narrow corridors make some levels feel very restricted.
    +/- Can be confusing to navigate. Sometimes you’re supposed to turn around and backtrack, but nothing tells you to do so.
    +/- Challenge maps are indeed challenging, but there aren’t as many as in later games. Still great for practicing the combat.

    - Backtracking. There is a lot of it. Clear an area, proceed on, get a new gadget, go back and – whoops, there are new thugs in the room, time to clear it again.
    - In what becomes a recurring theme in the Arkham games (except Origins, which was created by a different studio), boss battles are lack-luster. Usually they involve a horde-mode of some kind; others require spamming batarangs and dodging.
    - The final boss fight happens from a locked camera perspective. Not sure who thought that was a good idea.

    Arkham Asylum is easily the game that will be remembered for redefining Batman in the genre. While later games in the franchise scale great heights of impossible heroism, it’s Arkham Asylum that remains the preferred choice if you just want to “chill with Batman” without the fate of all of Gotham (and perhaps the world) hanging in the balance.    … Expand

    This game is a amazing 3rd person combat game playing as Batman! All of the different bosses such as Harley Quinn, The Joker, The scarecrow and Killer croc! But the main part of the game is to get face to face with Joker. (Obviously) You also have a bunch of classic Batman tools! This game is very fun and it is very hard to beat!

    +Графика. Просто офигенный графон для 2009 года,даже сейчас выглядит очень достойно и круто,особенно со всеми наворотами от Nvidia.
    +Боевая система. Кто-то скажет,что боёвка очень простая. Это так,но только отчасти. Вначале,когда врагов мало и они все одного типа,то и правда драться легко. 2 кнопки. Но потом появляются другие виды врагов и тогда боёвка реально начинает приносить удовольствие. К тому же,она очень красивая и была новинкой в то время.
    +Атмосфера. Это не передать словами,но атмосфера жутко мрачная и таинственная,как будто читаешь комикс про бэтмэна. Очень круто.
    +Разнообразие. Пожалуй,главный плюс,за который я и многие полюбили эту игру. В игре постоянно происходят какие-то уникальные моменты. По мимо открытых боёв,есть ещё стелс,где надо тихо зачистить комнату против вооружённых врагов. Каждый босс по своему уникален,куча классных головоломок от Загадочника, и всё это вкупе создаёт потрясающую игру. Третье появление пугала просто рвёт башку по своей крутости.
    Но теперь стоит и о минусах,благо они не очень существенные.
    -Сюжет. Он не плохой,но довольно банальный. Самое тупое,это то,как сбегает Джокер,очень трэшово это выглядит. И вообще,всё довольно просто и без неожиданных поворотов.
    -Финальная битва. Ожидаешь,что финальный бой с Джокером будет очень запоминающимся и крутым, при условии того,что все предыдущие битвы с боссами были особенными, но к сожалению,бой был простым и ничем не запомнился,очень жаль.
    -Отсутствие русского языка. Не знаю почему,но тут даже интерфейс на английском. В следующих частях исправили. Не знаю,почему тут не было.
    Итог: Потрясающая игра про бэтмэна. Несмотря на то,что сюжет банальный,за ним все равно интересно наблюдать. Заслуженно игра года 2009, и одна из лучших игр вообще.

    Продолжая впервые проходить знаковые игры десятилетней давности, я не мог обойти стороной серию Batman: Arkham, которую до момента карантина я активно игнорировал, и очень зря.
    Признаться, я никогда не просто не был фанатом, но и вовсе не играл в игры жанра "стелс" (ну или почти не играл, если не считать некоторые инди-проекты). Даже сейчас, в 2020 году, спустя столько лет после    8.4/10
    Продолжая впервые проходить знаковые игры десятилетней давности, я не мог обойти стороной серию Batman: Arkham, которую до момента карантина я активно игнорировал, и очень зря.
    Признаться, я никогда не просто не был фанатом, но и вовсе не играл в игры жанра "стелс" (ну или почти не играл, если не считать некоторые инди-проекты). Даже сейчас, в 2020 году, спустя столько лет после релиза игры, я был удивлён, насколько много в этой игре именно стелс-элементов, так как в памяти моей из 2009 года отложилось разве что "бессмысленное мочилово тупых мускулистых мужиков". Как ни странно, на файтинг (не такой уж и бессмысленный) в этой игре уделено, мне кажется, не больше 15% от общего времени, которое я провёл в игре, если не меньше. И при всём при этом игра оказалась невероятно насыщенной на те или иные геймплейные элементы, она просто-таки напичкана ими, что и не удивительно, ведь в Arkham Asylum нет открытого мира, или даже "условного открытого мира", как было в Assassin's Creed II, который я прошёл за пару дней до прохождения симулятора человека-летучей мыши. Кстати это абсолютная правда, ведь огромное количество времени ты ощущаешь себя именно что в шкуре Бэтмана, ползаешь по пещерам, пробираешься к злодеям через окольные пути в виде вентиляционных шахт. Именно этой атмосферы зачастую не хватает от фильмов по данному персонажу, и именно тут ты вспоминаешь, что олицетворяет наш герой в плаще именно что летучую мышь.
    О злодеях и других персонажах, которые занимают львиную долю основного сюжета игры, можно говорить много и все уже всё о них сказали - они прекрасны, диалоги с ними интересны и ожидаемы, битвы с ними запоминаются, и так далее. Эта игра, сочетающая в себе интересный геймплей и не менее интересный сюжет с массой интересных персонажей без различных статистов (снова мне вспоминаются бессмысленные и забытые всеми персонажи в первой части Assassin's Creed), действительно прекрасна и заслуживает внимания каждого любителя впечатляющих и интересных трипл-эй проектов.    … Expand

    I won't dissect the combat system since that's probably the most famous part of this series and everyone knows about it. I'll just say feels good and Batman feels like Batman. The boss battles are good but can get a bit repetitive since many elements are reused throughout the game.
    The style of the game is what I'd describe as gritty comic-book style. Overall the art direction with its dark, gothic atmosphere is fantastic. The locations are as diverse as you could make them without it feeling out of place.
    Most of the characters are great looking although this is probably my biggest gripe with the game on a couple of levels. Firstly the variety of the goons is too small. They all look almost the same. Secondly, I just didn't like the over-the-top muscles. In my taste, it's fine to have some comic-book-style muscles here and there, but in this game every inmate in this insane asylum is about as ripped as Schwarzenegger in his prime. It gets a bit ridiculous and takes away some of the grittiness of the presentation. The supervillains were all fantastic.
    The script is well written for the medium and over-the-top in a charming way. The voice acting is phenomenal. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are on top of their game. Both bring the game a fantastic Batman Animated vibe. Hamill will always be the best comic-like interpretation of the Joker for me and Conroy's voice simply IS Batman for me. Arleen Sorkin as always does a great Harley Quinn. Her delivery of "Bye-bye Batman" at the death screen is just great. I could go on about the voice actors because every one of them is amazing. Tom Kane and Wally Wingert are also great, alright I'll knock it off.
    Finally, this is a game that actually got collecting stuff fun. There are a couple of reasons for this. Many of the collectibles give you backstories to the asylum and its inmates, some familiar that you don't meet. It's great fun seeing how the different villain's cells look. It also makes the game a bit of a metriodvania in that you need to backtrack to get many of the collectibles. But since the map isn't too big and the puzzles aren't too convoluted it makes backtracking to collect stuff feels like you're mastering the game instead of tedious busy work like many other games. There are few games that I spend the time collecting everything but this is one of them.    … Expand

    It fully embraces the fact it is not a book, it is not a movie but a game and it worked out pretty well (unlike "Journey", for example).

    Initially I was a bit reluctant to try this game, since I had heard that it takes place on one island, which is undoubtedly the smallest map any game has to offer nowadays.

But then I decided to give it a go anyway when Epic gave it away. Before this I had only played Arkham Origins and seeing that the Batman in Arkham Asylum is that "underwear Batman", I was even more hesitant in trying it. But somehow I convinced myself that I can't understand Arkham City or Knight without playing this one so I will somehow "convince" myself into playing this.

    Turns out I was wrong. This game is a downright masterpiece. Unlike most games that make your environment constricted, this one actually makes it feel very, very open. All the villains we knew are in this game - Joker (of course), Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Bane, Killer Croc, Scarecrow. And then there's Riddler's puzzles which help us unlock the character bios and trophies.

    Speaking of that, the side quests of this game are excellent. It's what one can enjoy doing once they've finished the main game. This review comes at a time when I haven't played Arkham City yet, so I don't know if they have maintained this level of side quests later on (it wasn't this entertaining in Arkham Origins so I'm a bit sceptical).

    I can say this for sure that this is one of the best stealth games of the time it was released, with the only possible contender being Assassin's Creed II. I hope I will come back to this game at some other point in my life, since I want to solve all of Riddler's challenges.    … Expand

Batman: Arkham Asylum will engulf you in the perfect atmosphere, which simply Batman and especially the games from the Arkham series have always been able to do. Right from the beginning, the Joker will appear here, which is also a guaranteed quality, because in my opinion it is not a better negative from DC. In addition, it is perfectly depicted here and, in my opinion, is one of the best Jokers, whether from games or movies. Batman is also perfect with luxury dubbing. Batman does not have his typical rough voice here, which we may know, for example, from the film trilogy by Christopher Nolan. In short, it's a slightly different voice and a little better for me. But we will move on from the characters, even if they form a crucial role here. For example, I will not mention Harley Quinn or others, because it would be a long time to describe how much I like their processing here. So let's move on to an amazing environment. The Joker's madhouse has its charm. You go through this whole institute and solve various puzzles or ways to get somewhere else with the help of Batman toys, such as explosive gel or others. Of course, what kind of Batman would it be if we didn't have the opportunity to really beat up a few bastards doing trouble to others. Our dark bat hero has a lot of delicious combos here, thanks to which you will give one poem a blow to the enemas. In addition to all this, you can improve Batman with the progress of the acquired XP, so that gradually the battles are even better. The story is amazing and I don't want to spoiler it for you. I will just mention that there is also Scarecrow, which is one of my very favorite characters from the DC world. The passages with him in this game are absolutely luxurious and I swallowed with pleasure. Subsequently, we will see some couple of boss fights, which are also not wrong. In fact, the only mistake of the game is the already mentioned institute in which the game is located. Although I praised him and he is amazing, he is quite small and you will go through it quite quickly. In other words, if you are not interested in the story and you just want to run around the game so freely, you have no option where to go. Otherwise, this is an amazing game, which I recommend, logically mainly to fans of Batman, but I think that even the biggest fans of Batman can enjoy the game.… Expand

    Начну я свой обзор с того что купил игру на скидках, так как не возлагал больших надежд на данную игру. А прошёл я данную игру буквально сегодня. И могу сказать, что сюжет в этой игре хороший, конечно не без минусов или изъян, но хороший. А вот то, что самое главное в этой игре, для чего я и многие другие купили эту игру, это захватывающие битвы между Бэтменом и Джокером, а также другими злодеями. Раз мы остановились на битвах, я расскажу о минусах:

    Минусы:
    1.Блокирование – С начала игры и практически до её конца игры я не видел, никакой нормальной блокировки, как это было в Arkham City. В нескольких шагах от Бэтмена стоит бандит, и он его не может заблокировать. А вот если он стоит в конце карты, то мы его конечно заблочим!
    2.Битвы с боссами – Всего здесь их три. Первая с Бичем. Вторая с Ядовитым плющом. Третия с Джокером. Битч – легкий. Плющ - легкий. Джокер – легкий. Тут и говорить нечего.
    3.Последний минус это мелкие косяки по типу ног Бэтмена проходящих через голову бандитов, с озвучкой Харли Квин на русском (она мне очень потрепала нервишки) и так далее. Но их можно простить игре 2009 года.

    И, конечно же, плюсы данной игры. К слову их довольно много, поэтому я пробегу по ним быстро:

    Плюсы:
    1.Джокер – ОН АФИГЕНЫЙ ПЕРСОНАЖ. По суть он тащит всю игру на себе.
    2.Лечебница Архем – Проработан каждый дюйм этой лечебницы. Гуляй, где хочешь и делай что хочешь.
    3.Много гаджетов – Название о себе и говорит. Бери в руки бэткоготь и перемешайся из вышки в вышку или же бери в руки бэтеранг и круши врагов.
    4.Биографии персонажей – За это огромное спасибо Rocksteay Studio. Очень много узнал о любимых персонажей и не только.

Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    I have always enjoyed many aspects of Arkham Asylum. Asylum always gives me the chills, cause the asylum has this creepy atmosphere (The same one outlast has, but more milder).

    Great introduction for Rocksteady´s Arkham trilogy, with a revolutionary combat mechanic and a great storyline, it´s no surprise that the game is so well availed

    A very concise and atmospheric game in which the plot and characters are well spelled out, the gameplay is fascinating, and the graphics and visual are even good for that time. One of my best and favorite games

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last boss fight was very lame, the Joker just doesn't fit like that massive monster, and also no actual fighting with the Joker. The inability to change controls from within the game and the 60 FPS cap hinder this game's enjoyment… Expand

    I can say with confidence and cannot stress enough, Batman: Arkham Asylum is, without a doubt, the best Batman game ever created. It does more than give you the Batman game you want, it gives you a video game that you could play repeatedly, even if it didn't have the caped and cowled Dark Knight in it.

    There isn’t a single element of Arkham Asylum that isn’t polished to the utmost degree.
