In my opinion it is a top 3 PSVR game, replete with everything great about the entire Ark ham series, but literally IN YO FACE!!!
Right behind Star Trek Bridge Crew, just ahead of Elder Scrolls Skyrim in terms of the must haves in the PSVR gaming world.
Always an eryday price match guarantees you the best price, whether or not you belong to MyBestBuy's Gamers Club (if you buy 5 or more games a year the membership pays itself off easily, and you constantly get $10 Rewards Certificates to pick up sales titles you thought about for a while, or even better idea, turn it into a PS PLUS membership for free, which unlocks a ton of add on, full game, beta tests, and loads of PSVR exclusive extras, and huge discounts on everything as well. So then you take those Sony Rewards points, turn them into PS Store GCs, and your free psplus, turns into free otherwise purchased games and content at discounts, earns you 5x Reward points to build up and earn another free GC just in time for the next $10 reward certificate you earn from best buys gamers club unlocked, which pays for the next month of your psplus membership free again.
COME ON WITH ME FOLKS AND SAVE THAT CASH BY SPENDING WISELY AND CROSS BRUDGETING YOUR BENEFITS. YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITH THE GREEN AND BLACK COMPUTER BOX, HECK THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A STATE OF THE ART VIRTUAL REALITY SYSTEM. POOZERS.
So all I'll say is just gamble on this title on sale now at BestBuy.com and you can come back and click HELPFUL on this review after a screening.

It has a very well scripted story, however the length of the game is very short. The vr is handled great. I thought it was a fair price for the experience

This is a must have for any VR owner. This game really showcases what PSVR can do. It has a great sense of scale, gameplay, and story. You really feel like batman (detective batman that is)! The only problem with this game is it is very short and has little to no replay value minus a second play through for riddler trophies.

Really delightful demo kinda piece - I like using this as an intro to VR, since it gives you both the immersive feeling, the “world” feeling, and the explorer feelings, all in one package. Beautifully executed - its only drawback: it’s kinda short; it could probably be enjoyed in 60-90 minutes... longer if you really stop to smell the roses.

This game takes a little work to setup, make sure you get the tracking and your position setup. Once you get all the technical stuff setup this game is great. First off it is a short game that you can speed through in an hour. But it has small games you can come back to to complete fully. But as soon as the menu loads, wow on top of a building looking around Gotham city was amazing. the VR is great, no motion sickness but there is an elevator part that might mess with your balance. If you are sensitive to motion like that make sure you're prepared for that it really makes you feel like you're going down.
So with gamers club you get your discount and even at $20 this game was worth it. batman fans must place this.

This PlayStation VR experience lets you step into the world of being Batman, it's a great experience, a little short and the controls seem to be a little off at times, but for under $20 you can't go wrong to add this to the vr game library.

Arkham VR for the Playstation VR system is an abolutely amazing experience. While the main game is relatively short and can be completed in about an hour or so the level of immersion is amazing. Getting to suit up, going down into the Batcave and just looking around and taking in the sights of Gotham City are amazing experiences. The gameplay is simplistic but makes good use of the Move controllers. Once you beat the main game you are tons of Riddler trophies to find, further extending the game's life. A steal at the list price.

This is a fun game. The graffics are great. You start the game out by getting the bat suit on and going into the bat cave. You are trying to find what happened to nighthawk and robin. More of a detective game than a fighting game. If your looking to go into battle being Batman than this game isn't it. Another thing about this game is that it is very short. 2 hours top. It definitely shows you what the vr can do and you do have fun doing.it. With these things being said I did enjoy the game even with its short comings.

So I love Batman and bought this game even though I heard that it was too short and overpriced. The game is totally immersive and fun to play through, but it is too short and overpriced. It really ought to be $10 to $15. That said, it fits perfectly into the Arkham universe, it looks great and controls are solid, There's Riddler trophies, smashables, secrets and puzzles to solve after breezing through the main game. It really shows what's possible with VR and I hope this serves a a base for future Batman games!

A true gamer and I will give a concise opinion.
The game is good but it not like typical batman games.
The good:
The game showcases some of the VR potential.
Decent puzzles not too hard
Price is good
The bad:
You will not be fighting if you were thinking you will be fighting you wont be.
You will be doing detective work mainly
Conclusion for 20 it ok but it is lacking substance. The story was good though.
Have any questions just leave a comment and I will respond.

This was my first game for trying out VR. I was very impressed with how well it worked. It was a short game, but a fun one too. The move controllers work very intuitively with the game. I would like to see another Arkham VR game at some point.

This is a marvelous experience. It's incredible to see the characters from the Batman universe in a way that is so immersive. They are more than moving portraits on a screen or on a page. They're full size and immediately in front of you. The narrative is also compelling while short. The visuals are remarkably polished, but the gameplay is lacking. It's immersive, and the novelty makes it enjoyable, but there's not much to do. The experience (~2 hr) is well worth the price.

The effects on the VR are great. So much to see and look around. It's a short game and still trying to figure out what else can be done. It's a cheap game, worth it, but not much use with it.

This is what VR is about

Not having many VR experiences in the past, I can tell this is what VR was meant to be about. Growing up as a Batman fan, I always wanted to descend into the bat cave, put on the suit, and solve crimes. This is not your typical Batman game in the sense of fighting and movement. The game does place you in various locations to solve a mystery and makes great use of the move controllers and 360 head tracking. The graphics are amazing and the sense of immersion is even greater. I don't want to spoil anything but for a 3-5 hour game, the story is fantastic.

If you are a huge batman fan, then you are in for a visual treat. This is the greatest VR game and closest you can get to being batman. The story was small but it was worth it . And the packaging was nice as well

A great view into the new VR platform however the "game" is more of an experience and less of a game. It is very short but enjoyable. For the right price, this is worth it.

An Awesome Experience Short, but Replayable

This game is a great experience a must for PSVR owners.
Excellent dark story, excellent gameplay and use of VR, and motion mechanics.
Yes it is short about 15 minutes if you speed run it.
My first time through I took my time playing the mini games, a few short breaks, and exploring taking about 4 hours. Then there are unlockables after you beat the game the first time.
For under $20 it is very worth it compared to a night at the movies.
A go to game for showing off the PSVR to family and friends.

Best game and fantastic value for PS VR

At $20 Batman Arkham VR is a must buy for anyone getting a PS VR. It's visuals and immersion are unparrelled in the launch line up. Move support makes your hands into Batman's in a way that has to be experienced to be believed. The game length is around two to four hours depending on play style. For the price of an IMAX movie ticket you can enter the world of Batman and experience it wholly unique and special way. Generous price point on a fantastic game make this best value on PS VR!
