- The Bottom Line:
- "Amazing"
Batman : Arkham Asylum is an amazing game that will make fans of the comic book really really pleased! It did what other superhero games failed to do - make you feel like you're the hero!
Story:
Joker is caught and he is being transferred to Arkham Asylum , an asylum were all the villains of Gotham City are locked up. Batman brings him there but he finds it suspicious that Joker was so easily caught and he wants to escort him and the security to Joker's cell. Of course Joker has a plan and Batman and the entire asylum security end up trapped in the Island with dangerous criminals roaming around , criminals who hate Batman.
Campaign:
B:AA has an amazing but short campaign. I feel like they should have put more villains to fight , for example Two Face and the Penguin can be found in the character files but they are nowhere to be seen in the game. The combat was great and very enjoyable , i liked the fact that Batman didn't kill his enemies but instead left them unconscious. I have to admit though most of the time i was in detective mode , it just made things easier and when i'd turn it off , i would feel almost blind!
Online Multiplayer:
You can also play online , although i never played it i hear it's pretty good. You can play as Joker too which adds to the fun!
Extras:
Apart from the trophies , Rocksteady gives you more reasons to continue playing. There are challenges that you can complete , riddles to solve and some cool character and art unlocks when you finish the game!
It's a great game and a must have on any platform! 8.5/10 Amazing!
