Batman - Arkham Asylum Review
____________________________

Batman is one of the world’s most popular ‘superheroes’ and Arkham Asylum from developer Rocksteady Studios has been getting a lot of hype both from the public and the press. Thankfully we are happy to say that they have met my expectations which has both surprised and pleased me!

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a third person action game which puts you in the shoes of the Dark Knight. It starts with Batman racing back to Gotham’s prison for the criminally insane with the Joker as his captive. As expected, the Joker has a devious plan in motion which means once he is placed back into the prison he hatches a takeover with some of the nutty inmates.

Looks like it has strong fun factor .Although 10 hours gameplay and lack of multiplayer are weak sides but it is good overall.

Thanks for the review GH , was really waiting for it

Simply the best Batman game since Batman: The Movie on the Amiga!

So glad Mark Hamill is back doing voice work. His version of The Joker is my favorite.

Looks like one of most promising games so far lately, but I think I'll wait a bit to get the PC version.

I got the PS3 Version, I think it deserves Gold, this game is kicking ass, and does total justice to the Batman Series
