Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360)

Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman is perhaps one of the coolest, and certainly most popular, comic book heroes from the DC Universe. He has all the cool gadgets, can own pretty much every comic book villain known to man and even punched the crap out of Sub-Zero in MK vs. DC Universe. Ah, but here we are again saying to ourselves how ''much like most comic book heroes, Batman has never had a decent videogame''. Whether it's Batman Vengeance, Batman Begins or whatever Batman game you'll throw at me, I will say the same thing-'meh'. However, it's been interesting watching Rocksteady (Urban Chaos creators) working on Batman Arkham Asylum because as I watched all the ...  Read the complete review

Wow, this is the only word that comes to mind when playing this. It is simply the best superhero game of all time. I was a skeptic at first, I thought 'Oh not another crappy superhero game adaptation!' but I was very suprised when I played the demo at an anime convention, the combat was sublime and the stealth action was simple and fun. I picked it up on day one and was not disappointed with the final product. The developer did a fantastic job of making you feel like Batman and level design is incredible. From the get go you can tell that things aren't going to go smoothly as you take Joker to Arkham Asylum. SPOILERS! Joker manages to escape and takes ...  Read the complete review

Before I played the full Arkham Asylum game, I tried the demo and was a little underwhelmed. It seemed pretty good, but not the life-changing piece of art I heard it was. I rented it anyway though, because even an OK game is welcome at the moment, and ended up being very pleasantly surprised. Batman: Arkham Asylum has you rather unsurprisingly taking control of Batman from a third person perspective. Batman controls very fluidly, and the controls are very easy to get the hang of. Everything is explained clearly so you'll soon be taking out bad guys with ease. The world is reasonably large and looks visually stunning, and each area you have to visit in the ...  Read the complete review

BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM ======================== This game begins with a nice stroll through Arkham corridors as you escort the Joker to his cell. But as always Batman is suspicious and isn't surprised when he breaks his restraints and begins the most epic jailbreak in game history. Within 10 minutes of starting the Joker and his girlfriend Harley Quinn begin to liberate some of Gothams most lethal and crazed baddies. But apart from wanting revenge on the Bats, the Jokers other motives are still unclear. The asylum setting is perfect to introduce and unleash all of Batmans most notorious enemies, so expect to see some very familiar faces ...  Read the complete review

Based on the fantastic comic book, Batman Arkham Asylum is an Xbox 360 game which finally brings the Dark Knight to life. It is available on Amazon for £32.99 and being honest it is one of the best console games i've ever played. The plot in theory is that the dastardly Joker has released every villain Batman has ever put away at the Arkham Asylum, it is Batman's responsibility to put these villains away again. There is a battle and Detective Mode, the battle mode allows brilliant fights with really easy to understand controls, you can fight one on one or in a combat mode taking on a room full of baddies, it looks amazing, is utterly immersive and ...  Read the complete review
