The most spectacular ode to Batman in gaming history, Arkham Asylum will appeal to all fans in at least some aspect. The rather large database of villains and friends, equally equipped with biographies and detailed information on each, expands the experience of the game astronomically. Gamers will find themselves immersed in the chilling atmosphere as they explore Arkham Island and the buildings that inhabit it, each with their own creepy atmosphere and brilliant subtle accompanying soundtrack.
Exploration and replayability incentives lay within solving the Riddler's riddles and finding his collectibles, which are scattered among the various buildings and sections of Arkham Island. The fact that Batman, the Joker and Harley Quinn are all voiced by their original Batman: The Animated Series voice actors gives an entirely deeper respect and nostalgia that was never achieved in any prior Batman game.
The story is compelling, full of twists and turns and impacting moments of suspense that will leave any player unable to put the controller down. The only fault that lies within the game itself are the combat controls, and the frustrating perfection that is required to hold a long combo. Other than that, this game is an absolutely must play if there ever was one.
