Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of those games that you sit down with and play straight through to the end while dreading work, sleep, and bathroom breaks! Since it’s a huge game with plenty of replay value this can be very tough on the bladder!
Seriously, well maybe I already was, this is one of the rare examples of a game where I walked away completely satisfied for my purchase. The characters are three dimensional in more ways than just the stunning graphics. If you are a fan of the WB series then you will be a bigger fan of the game. The voices are all there but you have the added darkness and maturity of a game that does not need to please the TV censors.
What’s not to love! The graphics are deep and dark. The fight scenes are clean and incredibly smooth. The interface is well thought out and easy for us older types to feel that we have complete control, even during some of the more overwhelming scenarios.
All in all this is a game I will play over and over, well , as soon as I find that last elusive puzzle piece!
Pre-ordered Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and Batman: Arkham City! Now I shall wait for their release.
