    Amazon.co.uk Review
    The Dark Knight returns in the first game to do him justice in his more than 20 year history in video games. Not based on any specific comic book or movie it takes all the best ideas and visuals from all of Batman's many incarnations to create a unique spin on one of pop culture's greatest icons.

    Arkham Asylum becomes the backdrop for Batman's most dangerous challenge
    Killer Croc has never looked more imposing or been more dangerous
    Batman must discover the deadly secrets behind The Joker's masterplan
    Stalk the minor criminals like prey and strike from the dark when they least expect it

    The entire game takes place within Arkham Asylum, where The Joker and his allies have overtaken the facility and set a trap for Batman. This is no simplistic beat 'em-up though, with Batman forced to prove his status as the world's greatest detective with a number of complex forensic style puzzles.

    When it does come to combat though you must still use your cunning as much as your fists, as you stalk unaware enemies and distract them with the bodies or screams of their cronies. With believable physics, superb graphics and a serious adult tone this is more than just another superhero tie-in.

    Key Features

    • Rogue's gallery: Battle all of Batman's greatest foes, including The Joker, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc.
    • Final Knight: Gain experience from fights and puzzles to improve and add to Batman's abilities via a role-playing game style skill tree that lets you customise the Dark Knight as you see fit.
    • Dynamic duo: Target the most dangerous foes from the shadows with a special takedown move and then move in to stun or attack opponents with the game's intuitive combo system.
    • Detective comics: Batman must use his brain as well as his brawn, with CSI style puzzles solved by an array of bat-gadgets including a multi-use interactive visor.
    • Animated avenger: An original story written by comic book and Batman: The Animated Series legend Paul Dini - plus Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman and Mark Hamill as The Joker.

5 out of 5 stars The best batman game to date!   May 13, 2010
B. Cousins (Essex, England)
I have played Batman games since owning my first one back in the early 90's, I played the demo of this and was instantly wanting to buy the full game. The game is very true to the atmosphere and style of Batman and has the voice talents from the cartoon series of the late 90's, Mark hamill etc... The game is very dark, the scenery is well designed and shows Batman returning the Joker to Arkham, he is looking quite fatigued and then he has to deal with the Joker taking over Arkham and tries to stop him. Along the way we meet many old enemies and have to battle them, there are many tools to get this done, the trusty batarang, and also some newly developed items. There is an opportunity to utilise scenery too in taking down enemies, I won't go into too much detail as it will spoil some the surprises, but one that has been seen is the use of explosive gel. This can be applied to certain walls and then detonated, causeing the wall to fall onto enemies or just for looking for secret areas.
There is also the detective vision, which is when Batman utilises a special filter for his batmask and this allows you to see e.g. weaknesses in walls, you can see bodyheat from enemies. And the combat system is one of the best I have played, you can pull off fight combinations with not too much effort, you do not need to learn complicated sequences. There is also an experience system which allows you to buy upgrades as you go along, be it better armour or attacks, which help for the harder sections of the game. You also have to try and decrypt riddles along the way left by, guess how, the Riddler.
Fighting the many henchmen along the way isn't a simple walk up and tap button fest, you do need to think how you will attack them as a lot are armed with guns and you will die if you just wade in. There is scenery that you can make use of, e.g. gargoyles that you can grapple up to and wait for the right moment, or simply jump off and glide silently down then boot them in the face.
There is also reply value as you most likely won't collect all the riddles on your first run, or when you have completed the game you can carry on playing so as to find them.
The cutscenes are well made and the story is well in keeping with the Batman genre and is well scripted and acted out, it is gritty and dark as the Batman stories always were.

For the price, it is well worth it, and you won't be sorry adding this to your collection. It is a shame they brought the game of the year edition out so long after as that includes extra content that can be bought off the playstation network and the game is played in 3D which sounds interesting, I may buy that too when it is sufficiently cheap hehe
There is also quite a few downloads that are free for this edition off the playstation network, so happy gameing!
I cannot wait for Arkham 2!!!



5 out of 5 stars great superhero game   May 6, 2010
A. R. Guerra (Lisbon, Portugal)
Batman was always my favourite superhero, and through all generations of consoles and PCs there wasn't any Batman videogame that called my attention. But this one have suprassed my expectations, since I played the demo I knew this would be a great game.

Great story of Batman with Joker the greatest vilain of all time. Dark story and dark ambient which delivers a great imersion in the game.

Good gameplay elements like hack n slash, stealth, riddle solving, information unlocking like the bios, use of gadgets.

Overall a wonderful experience.

There has been a lot written about Batman: Arkham Asylum, and it is true, the positive and glowing reviews of this game are accurate, it really is THAT good.

People have claimed that the game is samey, and that your basically just button bashing right the way through the game, I have to disagree with this although this is a fighting game for the most part, and there are some parts that require button bashing to build up combo's, there is a fair degree of strategy required to silently make your way past the bad guys, or to take them down without alerting their colleagues. Now for me, this is not my normal sort of game, far from it in fact but there is something appealing about this game, to say it is fun would be stating the obvious but, well, it is FUN.

It is easy to pick up a joypad and start playing at the easiest level, to get to grips with the controls, and then once your confident enough upping the difficulty, and there is so much that you can do within the game, from the actual advancing of the storyline, to collections for completion, challenges to beat, and of course, difficulty levels to master.

But there are three things that really make this game as good as it is, a well written story keeping within the world of Batman and Gotham City and using a mix of familiar characters as well as a nice mix of some earlt story villans which may not be so well know, and a cast of voice actors that really do make the characters that more lifelike; most of important of all though is the graphics, the design of Arkham Asylum, it's seperate wings and area's are so beautifully designed with a mix of shadows and light to cast the gloomy darkness over the Asylum that sets the right atmosphere.

This game is one of the best games released recently, some may dislike it naturally, but for the majority of gamers, I do truly think that once you play it, you too will understand fully just why this game has rightfully earned the rave reviews it has had.
