    I never considered myself a comic book fan. I used to think that Batman was dumb and pointless. Then I played this game.

    Rocksteady has done an excellent job with Arkham Asylum, the combat is fast, fun and responsive. The story is interesting, and does justice to fan-favourite Batman villains. And Batman's gadgets are fun to mess around with too. This game would be a 10/10, If it weren't for the massively big letdown of a final boss fight. Apart from that, you should buy Arkham Asylum immediately.

    When I first got my Playstation 3 one of the first games that got my attention when I play the demo was Batman: Arkham Asylum.

    Now Batman is my favorite superhero from DC Comics and I grew up with Batman from the movies to the classic Animated Series the action figures and video games.

    Now after so many years we finally got a game that is really what Batman fans have always wanted and Thankfully it does not disappoint.

    The plot of the game has Batman bringing The Joker back to Askham Asylum only for it to be all part of The Joker's plan to make this the longest night of Batman's life. With The Joker and Harley Quinn in control of the Asylum Batman has to be one step ahead of them along with fighting the other villains in the asylum like Bane, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and others

    The writers really took their time to make this game a joy to play and the story line just keeps you interested from the start as it proves to be one of the longest nights of Batman's life.

    But Barbara Gordon AKA Oracle helps Batman whenever she can and it gives the game more interest.

    Also there are a lot to unlock like Character Bios, Interview tapes, Trophies and more. The only thing I didn't care too much for is The Riddler's riddles while they are for helping you unlock items and maps in my opinion The Riddler serves little to no meaning to the plot just a side mission.

    The boss battles will have you on your highest gaming sense my favorite battle in this game is Poison Ivy but you also fight Bane, Killer Croc, Scarecrow and The Joker in the climax of the game. Now you have to do a lot of thinking on how to defeat these bosses.

    The game play is really well done with a mix of stealth, action, and puzzle solving which you'll be doing through the game to unlock new combos and gadgets. The game play just spare no expense

    The voice acting is just phenomenal. My favorite part is that Kevin Conroy reprise his role as Batman from Batman The Animated Series he is the best voice for Batman he knows how to bring the legend to life and once again he prove to do a successful job as Batman. Also Mark Hamill reprise his role as The Joker and his performance is just perfect you can tell he put his heart and soul into the character making him the best Joker in the animated department. Arleen Sorkin also returns as Harley Quinn and she is quite entertaining for the game she really did a great job as the character.

    Also the rest of the cast, Tom Kane, Kimberly Brooks, Dino Andrade, Wally Wingert,Steve Blum,Tasia Valenza, Danny Jacobs, Fred Tatasciore and the others were just perfect fits for their respected characters they voiced in the game.

    The Controls work very well for the game. Also the sound and music really matches the Dark Knight.

    Now onto the Graphics were are just flawless attention to detail for the level designs and the characters really just gives you the feel of being in Batman's world. It goes to show that a lot of love went into this game and it feels like it was done for Batman Fans by fans of Batman.

    The game also gives you chills with the Scarecrow levels which really brings the fear out and gets your skin to crawl. Also you never know what the game will throw at you next. It gives you the feel of actually expect the unexpected.

    Seriously if you don't have this game you must get it because it one of the best video games ever created, the Best Batman Game and one of the best comic book games that really is a champion.

    With original story, Excellent Graphics, Tight Game Play and Superb Voice acting you will be in for a thrill ride

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A damn near masterpiece of a game with amazing graphics,superb game play and brilliant voice acting but what keeps this from being a 10/10 is when you beat the main story and collect all the Riddler trophies that's it and thankfully future Arkham games added a lot more things to do and some of the boss battles *cough* titan joker *cough* are very bland and uninspired but the way the asylum looks and fells just makes this game a blast to play through. Plus this introduced the best combat in action adventure game history and is now trying to be emulated by other developers. This game was the start to a perfect trilogy and my personal favorite trilogy of games and I highly recommend it to anyone.… Expand

    A flawless combat system is one of the main talking points from this game, the ability to be the Batman by taking on huge gangs of thugs with relative ease when using different combos and counter-attacks to make you feel very good about yourself when you look around after the battle to see bodies laying everywhere. As well as this, being able to switch to detective mode, and clear a whole room without anyone realising you're there is also hugely rewarding. The scarecrow nightmare missions are exceptional, and even includes a very clever fourth-wall break. Though the voice acting is solid on all parts, the real star of the show is Mark Hamill as the Joker. Hilariously vicious, Hamill does everything in his power to make the Joker both true to the character and memorable within the game, and he excels at both.

    The only real issue within the game is how compact the Asylum actually is. I often got myself lost when trying to find the correct place to go, wandering around the Asylum in all kinds of rooms and areas apart from the correct ones. This is something the sequel addresses in spectacular fashion.

    Batman: Arkham Asylum makes sure that the superhero game is now not an afterthought or a addition to a superhero movie, but hopefully the defining chapter in what could be an exciting time for superhero games. Thank you, Rocksteady, thank you.    … Expand

Most of these interpretations are the definitive version for me. And I think it comes down to the fantastic voice performances from the cast and the designs of the many of the characters Killer Croc is easily my favorite design by far as he scared the **** out of me when I first played this as a child. Also villain's taunting your death when you die in the game is a fantastic detail that I really applicate they put in.
    I think that a lot of draw backs for Asylum comes down to it's sequels improving the combat and traversal so well that it makes this one feel kind of repetitive in comparison. But when you strip away the sandbox and car and many of the later tools the game is still fun at its core. Taking on large groups of enemies or sneaking around rooms and taking out enemies one by one is so much fun. Getting your combo meter up and avoiding getting hit is invigorating especially if you play on hard mode and so don't have the counter indicator forcing you to pay attention to what each enemy is doing around you.

    Some things that I really like in Arkham Asylum the comic book art style for the menus and the character bios I really missed in later titles as they give the characters so much personality. Also I like how this one has bios for a lot of obscure characters that I had no idea even existed before playing this game. The Riddler trophies I don't really mind in this one even though the reward for getting them all from a narrative perspective is really disappointing to me but they feel the least annoying to get them all in the whole series. Although this is probably because he gives you maps to find them and the games much more linear then its predecessors. Being more so open areas with levels in them then an open world like in later titles.

    I think the biggest disappointment for me though would be the bosses their all just okay or underwhelming. Except the last boss which feels a bit out of character and is just not really fun or challenging to fight honestly. If you've played the game you know what I mean and I think those whatever boss fights is what really hold this game back for me. Still a great time would highly recommend I just don't think its the best in the series.    … Expand

    Arkham Asylum, моя любимая игра во всей серии. И сейчас объясню почему.

    Сюжет мне тоже понравился. Бетмэн арестовывает Джокера, хрен то! Это Джокер    Arkham Asylum, моя любимая игра во всей серии. И сейчас объясню почему.

    Да игра достаточно линейна, но это ей идёт даже на пользу. Так как игра кажется наполненной жизнью и не провисает. Чего, лично мне, не хватало в Arkham City, где разработчики повелись на тогдашнюю моду "открытых миров". Но открытый мир получился пустой. Как мне кажется, более-менее заполнить этот мир, получилось лишь в Arkham Knight, но в игре были свои недостатки. Так, что самый сбалансированный мир и атмосфера обречённости, была только в Arkham Asylum.
    Была ещё Arkham Origins, это крепкий приквел от сторонней компании. Игра не эксперементирует и не вносит в общую канву геймплея ничего нового.
    Но не обошлось и без накладок. Меня разочаровал конец игры. Вернее не сам конец, а последний час игры. Мне он показался очень скомканым, такое ощущение, что разработчикам просто времени не хватило более качественно проработать окончание. Объясню почему. Игра начинается и играется достаточно растянуто, продуманно. Вот ты, наконец, дошел до босса Ядовитый плющ и кажется, что впереди ещё, ну треть игры. А фиг вам! Мы сразу, буквально, попадаем на босса, финального босса, Джокера и.....конец игры. Напомню, игра линейная и растянуть прохождение открытым миром не получится! В этом печалька.
    Но за то, какие же офигенные миссии с Пугалом, особенно моменты попадания в эти самые миссии. Тебе кажется, что ты идёшь не туда, поворачиваешь обратно, а там.......полная жопа! А в одном месте, у меня просто сердце защемило, я думал, что у меня консоль сгорела, кто играл поймёт, картинка зависла, звук завыл! Всё, подумал "три красных огня смерти" пришли и к моей консоли, но оказалось, что это лишь глюки Пугала! Какой испытываешь кайф, когда это понимаешь!
    И вот за такие вещи, игре можно простить многое.
    В последующих частях, такого, лично я, не испытывал!

    Batman Arkham Asylum is a product of absolute value that can count on a cast of colorful characters to build a great game, really fun. The greatest strengths of the production lie in the gameplay built around what are the real capabilities of Batman, mixing action and stealth section, but always related with the universe from which have been extrapolated. Rocksteady's game is certainly the new standard for understanding how produce games under license, adapting for videogaming the very spirit of this historic character.
