This game is a lot of fun and delivers a really strong immersive game experience. The character of Batman is portrait as well as he has ever in recent memory, super strong character roles carry this game a long way. But its not the real star of the show, the best part of the experience is interacting and fully existing on the Arkham island and within the walls of its many sinister buildings. The doom and gloom chills and the fear of what's around the corner are ever present in the game but they never overshadow the experience. Batman's combat and movement work quite well, his combo system of strikes and counters make the game fresh even after numerous encounters with Jokers mindless clown thugs. A few scenes dragged on for my liking but the experience never got stale enough to keep me from coming back. Excitedly awaiting the sequel !
