Great mix of combat, puzzle solving, and exploration. Highly immersive. I really felt like Batman

User Rating: 9 | Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3
This is the Batman game to end all Batman games. Featuring the voice-acting cast of the cartoons, this is as close to being Batman as most of us will ever get. The graphics and presentation are top notch, what you would expect from a AAA title.

The game progresses along at a great pace, with a steady stream of unlocked abilities, both for combat and exploration. There are plenty of options in terms of how to tackle a particular set of foes, and it's nice to have to think about your strategy instead of always just wading in guns blazing.

The boss fights, while not particularly hard, offer a nice mix of variety and strategy. I guess that is the best part of the game, is that there is always something new to do, some new place to explore, some new foe to beat, some new toy to play with. There is enough side quests in terms of item collection and trophy unlocks to keep the game interesting as well.

My only complaints are the lack of enemy variety, and the fact that you don't get to check out the beautiful environments much because 80% of the time you are in Detective Mode. Overall, I recommend this game to all action/adventure genre fans, you won't be disappointed.
