Batman: Arkham Asylum User Review
As close as you can get of being batman, without having to put on a costume and jumping across rooftops yourself.

- The Bottom Line:
- "Amazing"
Fans of the comic-genre can rejoice. It finally happened.
The successful translation of a comic book hero that has fascinated generations to a great game is here in every single detail. It is simply beautiful.
While there are lots, and lots of games that come very close within the range of being a perfect comic book hero game, this game stands tall above it all and makes the rest look like the work of amateurs.
Grappling, gliding like a bat across distances, hacking computers with technological highly sophisticated gadgets, hanging over thugs like an eerie dark shadow before striking them out, it is there and then some. The combat feature is very well done, the story is faithful to its source material, the list goes on and on.
There is some replay value, finding all hidden trophies and one different difficulty setting, but like every masterpiece, like every great song it always, always ends far to soon.
