My kids love it even my husband plays it, they love it

This game seems most suitable for the casual gamer. Hardcore gamers will be bored with it.

This is a pretty cool game. The graphics are good.

Got this for my daughter's Bday and she loves it..I like it too

Play this game, its glorious Batmany shenanigans. Do it.

The 3D was poorly made for such a dark environment game, making it hard to focus with the sterography on. I had to play the game with the 3D feature off, which was the thing I was most excited about. The game itself was boring as well. I may of already had a sour taste in my mouth from disliking the quality of the 3D, so that may be effecting my position on the matter of how entertaining the game itself was though.

I remember when Arkham Asylum was coming out. I was excited as everyone else, but not sure just how good it was going to be. I thought it was just going to be another flop in the super hero genre. Well, I must have not been all there up stairs cause it was awesome. Excitement:5, Challenge:5 (if you play on Hard first like I did), Graphics:5 (probably the best looking third person game i've seen in a while) Length:5 (about 15+ hours, and that's not including the challenges and finishing up finding all the riddles and trophies.) I caught onto this one quick from playing the previous one. I jumped into Hard mode like I did the first time, only this time a bit easier due to playing it before. I'm not your average game player who loves first person shooters, I prefer third person and i'm not the best at playing games on Hard, but there's something about this game and the freeflow combat system that makes you an elite gamer when playing on Hard, no matter your skill level. I started off the first one a button masher, and that will get you into trouble. Once I relaxed and hit one button at a time, like strike, or counter, etc. This game started to get pretty easy on Hard most of the time. After a some armor upgrades and playing some of the challenges, i've realized this is the best combat system in any third person action game i've ever played. So addicting, I found myself wanting more. Like most games on Hard, I'd want to run or not fight. This game changed that. If you played the first and know what i'm talking about, then get it if you want to enjoy it again, or get another 1000gs. If you've never played this game and have thought about picking it up, then do so. 50$ is a steal for this game with all the maps that I had to get extra with the first one. It also has the option of playing it in 3D, and you can turn that off anytime during the game if you get tired of wearing the glasses. But the game still looks amazing with or without them. So please, do yourself a favor and pick this up. Lay explosive gel, throw remote controlled batarangs, grapple enemies over a ledge, or sneak up behind em' for the quiet kill. Your choice. Batman AA GOTYE puts the tools in your hands as you progress through this amazing game. Can't wait for AA 2 due out early 2011.

This game blows! What action? Story line, everything bites!

I absolutely loved this game. I was a little late to this console generation, so I was catching up with some games a couple years back. I remember playing this game through the first time and how amazed I was. I don't remember having this much fun with a video game in a LONG time. The story is good. I imagine it's hard to write new material for Batman, but the developers did a good job here. But where this game shines is in the gameplay. Whether you're gliding over the courtyard, hanging from gargoyles stringing up bad guys, or engaging in what I consider to be the most rewarding hand to hand combat in any modern video game, it's all just plain fun. This game is a can't miss game.

this is the first batman game released that actually has been able to make you really feel as if you are playing as batman. the story line is great along with the enemy encounters. the game does a great job at granting the players proper controlls and fullfilling the caped crusaders moves and abilities. there are plenty of gadgets including batarangs, zip line, grappling hooks and a device to hack/diable door control consoles so you can access certain areas. there are also alot of items to unlock, mostly including character stautes to look at, along with information regarding characters. ovrall the feel and look of the game is great, although in the end the game feels short and i was disappointed it was over and all the enemies were defeated, however once you beat the game you are free to explore the area and finish the riddler challanges. overall teh game is great, and if you have been looking for a successfull attempt at a game putting you in control of batman this is the game you have been looking for.

I like the story line and the graphics. It has some combat and challenges that keep it entertaining. Nice little game overall.

my son really loved it, great graphics and very challenging

This is one of the best video games ever released. It's an amazing Batman story and features an incredibly fun combat system. One of its greatest strengths is the way the world expands an the story progresses with new areas of the asylum opening up as you progress.

this game is actually fun. i've played the other batmans, spiderman games, and i usually get bored with them halfway through. this game is cool! for $20 dont pass this by

This is a great game. It feels like you are inside a Batman comic. The atmosphere is dark and gothic and tha character animation is awesome. Gameplay is a combination of fighting, strategy, stealth, and puzzle-solving. The best thing about this game is that if you like it, BAC is better. Bottom line: buy it, you won't be disappointed. Also, spend a few extra dollars and get GOY edition. It's worth it.

Great game!! Great storyline to start off for a game series.. Challenging at times, but not too challenging. Graphics are way above average. Game of the year.

I loved the game I played the first 2 story line achievements at my cousin's house but when I got the game my self... when I first opened it I was disappointed. I ordered the same copy he had ordered. The Game of The Year edition, under Platinum Hits. However I was very disappointed when mine didn't come with the 3D glasses and added game info he got. It would of been nice of them to put this in the Overview section as a heads up to people hoping to get the glasses as well that I'm guessing only half the people got.

first its a Batman game thats worth buying, and second its really good

Such a fun game! I loved every minute of it. From the gameplay, to the characters, to the beautiful environments, to the awesome soundtrack. I replayed it twice in a row!

The game was great overall. It's classic Batman against the villains of Arkham Asylum. The only thing is that is kind of short. I kept wanting more! Good thing it has extra missions!
