Batman: Arkham Asylum

By Dan Stapleton (maximumpc.com)

We've been saying it for years: The moment they stop messing around with rushed, under-funded movie tie-ins and make a real Batman game, we'll have a huge hit on our hands. With Arkham Asylum, Rocksteady has proved us right-this game finally does ...

Fights against these 'roid-raging thugs are exciting, but the game goes back to this well a few times too often

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Fantastically dark, disturbing and surprising story. Top-notch presentation throughout. Plenty of gameplay material to play through. Straightforward and fun combat mechanic

Too much reliance on 'detective mode' means you miss out on some of the glorious visuals

Awesome SRPG

By Orange (newegg.com)

Definatly worth picking up, if you don't like SRPG's this has the ability to change your mind. Some people can handle the story better then others, I am not one of those people and ended up skipping most of the scenes.

Very Fun, endless replay value, lots of things to do, lots of diverse characters, plenty of DLC for more fun after you've beat the game

Bad storyline, annoying voice actors, im not sure how I like the skills being purchased rather then learned like the old Disgaeas
