Closing Comments
Batman: Arkham Asylum is the greatest comic book videogame of all time. This is an adult Dark Knight story that is well-told, packs some truly fun gameplay elements, has topnotch voice talent, and feel like it's part of Batman canon. If I have to nitpick, I wish the cutscenes looked better as they can distract from the tale and that the AI was a bit more responsive, but those are tiny flaws that shouldn't distract from the big picture.

Rocksteady nailed what Batman is supposed to feel like. Fans, rejoice.

Rating	Description
out of 10	click here for ratings guide
9.0	Presentation This is what Batman's world feels like. It's dark and gritty. You'll feel Batman's frustration and the terror of hostages. In-game cutscenes and lip syncing could be better.
8.5	Graphics Batman's forearms are too big and hair tends to look plasticy, but the game looks great in motion. Batman's damage detail by the end of the game is a nice touch.
9.5	Sound Most of the voice acting is out of the world good. I could listen to the Joker and Riddler talk all day long. The score sets the mood as well. Excellent work.
9.5	Gameplay At its core, the fist fighting is simple but it is fun. Meanwhile, attacking from the shadows and using bat-gadgets is what being Batman is all about.
9.0	Lasting Appeal Beating the story and 240 riddles took me 12 hours. If you don't feel like Edward's clues, you'll be done faster. The challenge mode should keep you going if you dig the combat.
9.3 Outstanding	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

The demo is great, and im hearing nothing but praise about the game.

I think this may turn from a rental, into a buy.

Oops, forgot the quotes in the title

A few hours ago, the Gamestop chick called, telling me to be there at 10pm tomorrow for the midnight release. It's almost here!!


Too bad, I gotta get up at 5am Tuesday morning and go to work.

I might have to buy this (cheap).

Yeah, I just got that a few hours ago as well.  Think I'll just wait and get it Tuesday though, I don't really want to ride a city bus back home at Midnight.

Buying it Tuesday morning at Walmart for $38.83.

I was not excited about this game until last week. Now I'm in a rush to beat the games I'm playing so I can go get it. I'll be playing this after MGS 4 and Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction so I hope that won't ruin the game for me.

I guess ill buy this one day, no rent.

I dont get how it gets a 9 for lasting appeal. He says if you want to %100 it its 12 hours, and if you like the combat you will like the challenges yet he never alludes to saying the game warranting a 2nd play or that the payoff of %100 percent is worth it.

The demo turned me off quite a bit from this game save for the Mark Hamill. The combat blows thus far. I love beat em ups but I will not buy. My non system owning roomates are going to buy it cause they love Batman.
