    Fantastic pacing, awesome realization

    What more can be said about Batman: Arkham Asylum that hasn't already been written. Excellent combat, great pacing, a good story in the Batman universe and just an overall fun experience. It goes without saying that this game is easy to recommend but I would extend this to say that if you like games such as God of War or Star Wars: The Force Unleashed you'll love Arkham Asylum.
    In particular the detective elements of solving Riddler challenges adds some depth and fun to the main story and combat. It's rewarding and fun in its own right. The game allows you to enjoy every element the developers included without any one piece getting in the way of any other.
    This will be a game you'll play through and will be entertained right through to the end.
    Bottom line verdict: Get it.

        I always envisioned that the ideal Batman game would be encapsulated in a sandbox. Imagine it now; patrolling the streets of in the Batmobile, beating up thugs and keeping the citizens safe from crime and itself. Unfortunately, recent sandbox games, both with real superheroes (Spiderman: Web of Shadows, Superman Returns) and imitation heroes (Infamous, Prototype) have taught me better. All of those games featured redundant gameplay mechanics realized the notion that the life of a superhero is...
