Jul 15, 2023Listen, are you really trying to convince me that you don't know anything about this game? And that you need a review in order to decide whether to play it or not? Stop it! Just play it! The whole Batman trilogy is a masterpiece that was ahead of it's time.

Jun 4, 2023What it loses in terms of gameplay and open world compared to its sequels, Asylum makes up for with a simple but great story and excellent atmosphere. An amazing start to this game series and definitely worth playing even if you don't really like Batman that much.

May 6, 2023my first ps3 game, I will never forget that day I first put the cd in my brand new ps3. city does improve on this game in many ways but this game hit me differently
-
Mar 22, 2023The combat and gameplay in this slaps! I legit felt like batman when I was playing this at some parts, however the final boss was mediocre and some of the graphics don’t hold up, buts still amazing game
-
Mar 19, 2023Probably my least favourite Batman: Arkham game, but even that is telling of how good the series is. The combat, while not as good as the later games (understandably), is still fun, but its best quality is arguably its atmosphere. The only downsides are that the boss fights aren't amazing, and, while the story is consistent, it doesn't reach the heights of the games that succeed it - 8/10.
-
Feb 15, 2023The second-best superhero game (the sequel is the best). Perfectly captures what it’s like to be Batman. Filled with secrets and easter eggs. Combat is really fluid.

Dec 11, 2022Very fun Batman game with solid controls and interesting progression and gadgets. Solid voice acting and good checkpoint systems. A few frustrating sections, but very fun overall.

Nov 11, 2022Por fin se hizo justicia al Caballero Oscuro. No de la misma forma al Joker, y quién se ha acabado el juego sabe por qué.

Oct 30, 2022no bad things about this game at all boss fights are decent story feels like the animated series which is amazing and arkham feels scary

Sep 16, 2022This is the second game I played from the Arkham Series and it's a solid batman game that would preview the later games. It's fun and enjoyable to play; so for any Batman fan like myself growing up, it's a solid fun game.

Sep 15, 2022Batman Arkham Asylum is ok. Fighting is fun, story is good as well as the characters
-
Aug 30, 2022Simply... innovative!
Ahead of its time, bringing, particularly, my favorite horoi, Batman brings from the shadows of old games, a magnificent game!
With a captivating story, impressive graphics, and rich details, Batman brings the mantle to the player, managing to make his player feel like the dark knight himself! -
Aug 30, 2022Cons: the gameplay is is not as good as Arkham City
Pros: everything else (the story, the villains, the soundtrack, etc...) -
Aug 12, 2022What a game. It was fun, well paced, and always an adventure. I could not get enough.

Jun 2, 2022Nettes. Spiel es hat echt viel Spaß gemacht. Mehr davon! Nicht zu lang, nicht zu kurz. Genau richtig.
-
May 5, 2022Excellent combat and overall world design. The tone of the game is excellent. Great roster of antagonists as well. Variety of excellent moments and set pieces. Story is the best in the series with what it tries to accomplish. Only gripe is lack of side activities to do. Not much reason to replay.

Dec 30, 2021Solid start to the Arkham series. The atmosphere, plot, characters, and action are top notch. This game really does make you feel like the Batman. Weak bosses and clunky movements aside, it's not a surprise that this game is considered to be one of the best Batman games ever made.

Честно говоря, геймплей подкачал. Но, спасибо сюжету и атмосфере, что заставили меня пройти её до конца. Благодаря им, мне игра очень понравилась -
Nov 25, 2021I doubt any batman game will ever top how could and mysterious this one is. Few games have this feeling of creepiness and awessomeness.

Nov 20, 2021Harley Quinn is annoying in this game. Really don't know why the public romancize her charisma.

Aug 13, 2021The plot is boring as hell, all characters are just saying you what to do, no interesting interactions with them, only with antagonists but it happens every ~2 hours, bland. The game looks fine in terms of tech, the combat is excellent, but because of the boring plotline there is no motivation to play further for me, stopped playing after 5 hours because of the boredom.

Aug 3, 2021A Masterpiece & the best Game in the Series
This game is an amazing lesson in atmospherical density and level design, both things in which the prequels while improving on the gameplay, disappointed. It was also the first game ever that really made me feel like a superhero... -

Apr 7, 2021Just got into the batman games. Wow what have I been missing out. Combat, story and levels are just soo good.
-
Apr 6, 2021I play the batman arkham collection on PS4 and i really the game! For a 2009 game, the gameplay is very good and it has lots of options of stealth which is good. The story isn´t the best, but the characters are very good, especially of course, the Joker.
-
Apr 2, 2021I think its a very good game. BUT this was my first experience in Arkham Games and i get bored in the beginning. The plot wasn't so interesting, the bosses were awful and the characters nothing special. The only good thing was Joker and Batman moves.

Feb 26, 2021Some people might be dissapponted because the game is almost completely linear and the combat is simple. For me, collectibles are the problem. They are really boring and they try to distract you to spend more time playing but at the end, they just interrupt the story flow. All in all, a good Batman game.

Oct 28, 2020A very well made and atmospheric game with a good story, but the enjoyable combat and traversal is very repetitive. 84/100

Jul 14, 2020Batman Arkham Asylum is one of the best DC beat-em-up video games I have ever played. And Rocksteady has finally managed to do justice on adapting the impossible when properly bringing these iconic DC characters to life and the result of it is absolutely amazing. No wonder why they started the Batman Arkham franhise.
-
Jul 2, 2020Batman Arkham Asylum was a fantastic surprise for a superhero video game. The story and game play were extremely fun and engaging.
-
Jun 24, 2020Glad to see a good superhero game for once! My only gripe with the game is that I would use detective mode way too much to the point were I missed out on some of the designs of certain levels
-
Jun 23, 2020I remember when I first played this game, it was one of the games that made a videogame lover, I loved it. Now is not my favorite from the series, but it was a big inspiration for a loooot of action adventure games.
Is not a perfect game, but is really awesome. -
Jun 21, 2020A masterclass in setting, AA is a truly amazing Batman game that puts Bruce Wayne up against a madhouse filled with most of his biggest enemies. Amazing gameplay, story, sound and setting that only suffers from the fact that Rocksteady ended up besting it's own formula twice.

Apr 1, 2020Playing as batman in an open world metroidvania feels like a dream. The layout of Arkham is great and the caped crusader brings his A game. The only let down is the boss fight department.
-
Jan 8, 2020Batman has always been one of my favourite heroes, however, I don't think I've ever played a title based on him.
Arkham Asylum is one of the best experiences of being Batman.
A simple but bat-worthy opening story, major villains, a gameplay that mixes combat melee action, stealth, small but explorable maps, and puzzles create a pretty fun mix. -
Jan 5, 2020Master piece and must play game .. The gameplay, story, combat, it is an excellent game !!

Sep 27, 2019Минус игры в том, что ее рисовали, старались, а в итоге проще проходить в постоянном
Detective Mode, где цветокоррекция совсем другая. Ну и сюжет предсказуем после 10% игры. -
Sep 25, 2019Summary: In Batman: Arkham Asylum, the player assumes the role of Batman as he delivers The Joker to Arkham Asylum. There, the imprisoned super-villains have set a trap and an immersive combat gaming experience unfolds. With an original script penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini, the… Expand

Sep 22, 2019Gameplay is good not messy and voices in Spanish were decent. About graphics, well, this is a ps3 game so you'll notice the difference if you have a ps4 but it's still a good game, maybe I would have given it a 9 if I had played this game when it was released but not more. It took me about 11-12 hours.
-
Sep 11, 2019One of the greatest games to spark an even greater series of games ever. I seldom give 10's, but this game man. Wow.
-
Dec 4, 2017This is simply one of the best PS3 game ever. The atmophere makes this game so damn good, and the way Rocksteady told this game's story. Mark Hamill also did a masterwork to voice The Joker (Main villian) in the game. And the combat tho, it's just so engaging and very well made. I can only say that Arkham Asylum is one of the best games of all time.
-
May 3, 2019Even in 2019 this is one great game. The voice-acting is perfect and the graphics and level design still hold up against many of the latest released games. The story is a bit predictable but fine. I didn't like the combat however. It felt a times very slugish.
-
Apr 26, 2019Finalmente os fãs do Batman têm em mãos um game à altura do que o herói morcego merece. Aliás, porque não dizer, um game à altura de um super-herói, já que Batman Arkham Asylum pode ser considerado facilmente o melhor jogo de super-herói já feito.
-
Mar 6, 2019Great story, great atmosphere, great voice acting
ok combat, a dated look, and mediocre boss fights -
Jan 2, 2019Absolutely awesome. Rocksteady did a really stuning job on this game, truly is a must play for every gamer

Sep 5, 2018Rocksteady does what no one else been able to do before them - create a truly masterful AAA superhero game. Arkham Asylum shines with the combat system that made Rocksteady stand-out, unique design style and amazing atmosphere of an asylum shrouded in darkness.
-
Jul 24, 2018A very good Beat 'em up, and i'm not fan of the genre
The game that made you feel really like batman, the combat maybe was somewhat repetitive and the map very small, but it is one of the few games about super heroes that are well done -
Jul 3, 2018Gracias a este juego Batman se convirtió en mis super héroes favoritos, tiene una gran historia respetando los personajes como en los comics, un hermoso motor que envejeció muy bien y una jugabilidad hermosa, en especial el modo de combate que hasta se copio la formula en otras sagas
-
May 25, 2018I can't say anything bad about this game. It was amazing. It really was what made Batman my favorite superhero. The first game of a beyond amazing series, which would be the best superhero gaming franchise to date.
-
May 15, 2018A fantastic start to a pretty great trilogy, although there were some story issues.

Apr 28, 2018Best Batman game as of released (2009) Definitely a recommended game for DC or Batman fans!

Dec 9, 2017Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum is a truly fantastic game. I wouldn't call myself a "gamer" but I love this film. It has a fantastic story, amazing gameplay, and the most perfect voice for Batman & Joker ever: Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. In the end, this is a truly amazing game and I have loved it since the first time I played it. I would give it a 9.5/10
Awards & Rankings
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKThe whole game is a class act. The fighting is sophisticated but arcade-addictive, the visuals are stylish, and the Lara-like exploration is smartly done. Plus the DC heritage feels all-encompassing like a big blanket. Arkham Asylum is comfortably the best comic book game that PlayStation's ever had, and is up there with the system's best actioners, full stop. [Sept 2009, p.95]
-
Batman: Arkham Asylum is this year's "BioShock," not just from the connection established with the world, but from its ability to innovate where new ideas are needed, and moreover, deliver an adventure unlike any other. [Sept 2009, p.82]
-
Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Yes, this is the Batman you've been waiting for...It's a wonderful experience, beginning to end, never taking the easy or familiar route, and infusing each shift of the story with original ideas that cut no corners. [Oct 2009, p.70]
