    Одна из лучших игр про супергероев.

    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.

    The game is an 8/10. I enjoy the combat. It would be better if it was more difficult. hard mode is unplayable because there is no indicator for counter.

    With a good story that unfortunately turns up the ambition up unevenly to its substance by the finale, and decent gameplay that is made much better by the impressive animations, Arkham Asylum is a great start for one of gaming's best franchises.

    Still the best Arkham game. It has the best story and the best atmosphere. The pseudo open-world of the sequels doesn't really add anything except pad out the game time. It makes you think you've got more content, when in reality, you're just spending more time traveling in between missions.

    One of those games that left its mark in videogame history with a brilliant combat system. Other than combat, story and dark theme are also amazing. I would gave it a even higher score but boss fights pushed it down.

    Great game and a perfect example how superhero media doesn't have to be generic and mindless garbage.

    Many unique ideas that influenced future games with a fun story and strong atmoshpere.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. 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.

    Gameplay is very fluid, being a very linear game until practically completing the game and have the whole area to explore, , but far from that being a problem, because the game is very fluid and pleasant to follow. The combat is very well done with good variations of blows. The problem is for the bosses that 90% are equal to defeat.
    Collectibles are fun to pick up and add a lot in history and other things for those who don't follow Batman stories like me.
    The story is very well told and flows very well and quickly without any fuss.
    I highly recommend taking a good promotion, it's very cheap!    … Expand

    I have a hard time rating this game, because I find it utterly boring - like most console games. But, in all honestly, it's good for what it is.

My complaints with the game, however, are that it focuses to much on boring, repetative collection side-quests (that are often ridiculously difficult to solve), some of the boss fights are unfair and unbalanced (and often tricks aren't explained until you miraculously figure them out after dying 20 times), and regular combat is reptative and you are forced into VERY unbalanced fights with no weapons other than your fists against 5 or more enemies. There are a number of choke points I ran into where I simply couldn't get past 5 to 8 enemies that all attacked me at once because mastering the fighting system is a challenge for all but the most veteran of players with all but the fastest reflexes. Difficulty curve was, simply, a little to challenging. I also really, really, really hate completing a section and being forced to revisit it for an old gadget that was impossible to access the first time through, or simply to try and track down a boss for a third time. Revisiting old sections is really boring, and you have to do it ALOT with this game.… Expand

    Only played the demo thru Steam, so have limited exposure...however this game is almost brilliant. The one thing and IMHO means I will not be buying this game is the camera controls are terrible. Many times I ended up looking the wrong way and fighting the wall! This is really frustrating I even tried messing around with the settings - something I never normally need to do - to no avail.

    This game has only a few unique bosses. The others are the same boss about 5-6 times, just harder each time. Lots of luck needed on any mode but easy. You can't change difficulty mid-game so when your luck runs out, just quit and write a mediocre review on here like I did.

The combat flows smoothly and is kept interesting with having a few different guards with varying weapons and ways to deal with them. However, I felt that the bosses were poor as most of them just looked down from their ivory tower while you just deal with more guards. Only one of them didn't follow this trend, which is disappointing as I would have liked more variety. At the games current price it is worth a try, but I would have been hesitant to recommend it at full price.… Expand

    Best superhero game ever, there was a lot of gameplay variety, and it was not too difficult. it was fun to try to get all challenges. the graphics were not the best I've ever seen, but it was not very bad to see. I think the bigger monsters / bosses were the best since a long time in game everytime. Now I expect many of the successor of this game.

    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.
