For those gamers out there who were wondering when there would finally be a good Batman video game, Arkham Asylum should answer that question. Everything really comes together for this game quite nicely.
The story revolves around the Joker, the lead villain in the game (no surprise, I'm sure) - So the joker allows himself to be captured so that he can take over Arkham Asylum, which of course is where you'll not only deal with him, but other super villains like Scarecrow and Harley Quinn.
So too start off with, this game looks really good, great graphics, excellent voice acting and fluid animations really help make this game a winner. But as every gamer knows, that doesn't mean anything if the controls are terrible and thankfully they're not. The controls are pretty much spot on giving you hints (especially when you first start the game) - so you'll quickly learn how to control the caped crusader.
Combat is fun, with some nice slow motion attacks, although I do wish there were destructible environments. There's also some fun stealth elements to the game which can be a lot of fun. For instance you can swing up high above your enemies and hide on gargoyles near the ceiling - in the dark and remain undetectable. Then swoop down on them when they least expect it, take them out, and swing back up into the darkness again before the other thugs discover you. (you even have an x-ray vision type mode, which will really help you scope out your enemies.)
I really enjoyed playing this game, and if you have a PS3 you can play as the joker. So try this game out, you can download the demo on xbox live or playstation network - like I said earlier, finally a really good Batman game.
