User Rating: 9 | Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3
I've never played Batman games before, and you don't need to do so to appreciate the game. Arkham Asylum is the jail where they put all of the craziest criminals. It's no big surprise that Batman caught almost all of the patients of the asylum. But when Batman get the craziest of them all in the asylum, the Joker, everything goes really bad. The Joker and his fellowers have taken control of Arkham and are planning a big party for Batman. He must now face all these crazy enemies alone.

-Gameplay-
In this game you play in a 3rd person view. The controls are simples and responds perfectly. In some part of the game you'll have to sneak you're way through the asylum or fight multiples enemies at the same time, resolve puzzles or beat one of the bosses. You also got lots of gagets to play with: Batrang, Batclaw, Explosives, Security devices cracker and more. All of these makes you feel like you really are the Batman we saw in all theses movies or comic books and not like a cheap beat em up game.

-Graphics-
In this game Batman can use a special view through his mask. When you activate it, everything you see is in black and blue. With it, you can easily see ennemies from far away (Even through walls) or see points of interest in yellow. There's only one problem with it. It's too perfect. This ability is so useful you play almost 90% of the game in this mode and won't be able to appreciate all of wonderful graphics of the game...

-Sound-
The voice acting is great. You'll have the choice to turn on the subtitles on in the option menu, but you won't have to. The music and sound effect of the game are perfect. There's nothing anoying about the sound in this game. Everything fits well. Through you're journey you'll also find tapes with interviews of the inmates of Arkham and be able to learn more about each one of them.

-Value-
Through you're journey you'll be able to upgrade Batman's weapon and armor. You'll also have the option to try to resolve the challenge of the Riddler. He hide 240 items through Arkham, theses should keep you entertained for a while! When you'll have complete the game you be able to play the Challenges. In some of them you'll have to beat hordes of ennemies comming at you and try to makes the most points you can. In others it will be some sneaking missions. There's also alot of Throphies to unlock in Batman Arkham Asylum.

I hope you'll enjoy the game as much as I did.
