Batman: Arkham Asylum

Let'd do a review on...Batman: Arkham Asylum

ESRB Rating: T (Teen)

Platforms: XBOX 360-PS3-PC

Plot:
Joker was caught intoxicated in public, so Batman slapped him around a little bit, and took him to Arkham Asylum. When they arrived, Joker escaped and released all of Arkham's inmates, including Killer Croc, Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy, to name a few. Joker wants a type of crack, that is in the asylum, that turns people into Bane-looking monsters. Batman has to find the Joker and the source of the crack, all while fighting Arkham's most feared villains.

Gameplay:
This Batman game is an Over-the-Shoulder, or third-person, stealth game. You will be finding clues all over the island that will take you all over the place. Batman uses a Freeflow combat system that allows you to jump around to each enemy non-stop, until their knocked out! You also get to use some of Batman's signature weapons, like the Batarangs, the Batclaw, his Zipline and exploding playdoh. This is a stealth game, which means that you could also take down your enemies by sneaking up on them and give them a good kick in the balls.

Visuals:
The graphics are actually pretty good. The cut scenes are what really made me shit myself! They're that clear! The actual gameplay is cool, too. Batman has that smooth motion of his signature cape and Arkham island is a nice place to explore.

Length:
How long it takes to beat this game is completely up to you. You could get up to the halfway point if you know what your doing. There are some little side missions to do. The Riddler hid trophies all over the island and you can collect them to get points for an upgrade and they also give you some bonus.....stuff!
My Opinion:
Who doesn't like Batman?! It took me a while to pick up this game, but I'm glad that I did! This game is for everyone because you have the suspense of a stealth game and a childhood favorite superhero!
