User Reviews about Batman: Arkham Asylum

Most fluid fighting in a game I've ever experienced. At times, I was able to take on so many enemies I felt like I was in a Matrix-esque burly brawl (but actually good). The stealth components are also a load of fun.

In my top 5 games of the year. -- Your very own burly brawl.

This game is so fun. If you like batman then you should defenatly get it. Even if you dont like Batman you should still get it. I love how you can use all of Batman gagets for differnt things. This shipped in 3 days so that was good. You also have to have a really good computer to play this so that is one draw back if you have a not so good computer. But over all one of my best parchases ever. -- Best Batman game ever

Batman Arkham Asylum reminds me of Half Life in an incredible number of ways - and that is a good thing. From the long introduction with limited control (remember the riding the tram in HL?), to the innovative gameplay/weapons and high quality graphics Batman AA delivers all of the things that made HL such an incredible game for its time. It may not appeal to those who like to "run and gun" but if you like your gameplay with a bit more stealth and planning you'll be in for a treat. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that winning larger fights comes down to a lot of button mashing without a real sense of decision making/control. Even with that one negative, it is one of the best games I've played in the last three years. -- Batman meets Half Life

The graphics for this game are unreal. Make sure your computer can handle it. The story line is awesome and keeps you interested without being over-the-top difficult. The riddles throughout the game made this game a 5 star for me. Fighting the characters in the game is also not designed to be over-the-top difficult either. Not a temendous variety of mouse button or keyboard combinations which makes it fun to battle. Primarily left click and circle around using your mouse movement. Other clicks include the middle button for stunning characters with knifes. Very easy to figure out without much discouragement. Once addicted the game can be pretty quick to beat. I was a tiny dissapointed with the final level with the Joker. Becasue of the intense graphics I was anticipating something stunning and momumental. But wasn't very dissapointing. Trophies and upgrades are a nice touch. I never even got into the challenges or online play. So just with the story itself was fantastic. I can't wait until they make part 2. I am hooked !!! -- Greatest Game I have ever played thus far.
