Lets start off with Graphics, this game has amazing visual styles all the character looks really cool and distinguish. joker and killer croc are two of the most impressive characters model i have everseen. lighting is also great, the whole game takes place during one night but you have no problem getting around. The story takes place in arkum, a dark prison/hospital place. inmates are controlled by joker who tricked you into helping him set up this big big party. you have to find a way to stop joker from getting a formula that makes your life hell. a long the way you will encounter some bosses from the batman universe. The gameplay is very simple and suprisingly good. it flows so well when you are doing a combo. all you do is press square to atack and triangle to counter, once the combo reach 5 or 8 you can do an awesome takedown or a throw. then comes the sneaky side of batman whichmakes you feel like you are batman himself. you can grapple up to gargoyles to hide from enemies. there are many ways to take enemies out. sneak up behind someone and choke them to death, take them down while hanging on a ledge, or do an inverted takedown while youre above them.the gears are extremely useful in taking down arms thugs and navagating. the ps3 has exclusive playable joker which is sooo entertaining. joker has almost the same control but he does it slower. and all of his moves are hilarious. This game is the first great game of this holiday season. go get it!
