Rocksteady have proven that they’re a company that really care. They actually ‘get’ Batman, they’ve looked at the character from every conceivable angle and strived to make this everything anybody could possibly want from a Batman game.

There is not a single-element of the Batman that this game doesn't nail, from the gadgets to the atmosphere and the combat. The action is thrilling and varied, and even the fetch quests are compelling.

Overall, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a fantastic, exceptional, and an extravagant video game, and revitalizes both the comic-book and Batman video game based genres.

Between the Story Mode, Challenge Rooms and myriad hidden items (that are more compelling than in most games), there’s a lot of entertainment in Arkham Asylum.

Game Over Online
While it’s slightly hurt by a few minor problems, Batman: Arkham Asylum rises above them to provide an unforgettable experience. Part of it is due to the well-crafted storyline, but it’s also due to the well-made gameplay that makes most things easy to do and certainly more than any Batman game released in the last 15 years.

The result is so good that we're declaring it an easy 'Best of' contender for 2009.

GamePro
Batman: Arkham Asylum doesn't quite deliver on all of its big ideas, and thus dodges the highest of accolades, but its rousing peaks make its low points more than bearable. Its best moments of dazzling showmanship easily qualify as must-see entertainment, even if they're not sufficient to make the game as a whole a must-play.

It is simply the game that launched the Arkham trilogy—widely considered the best series of games based on a **** gameplay is functional, though stiff and sluggish. However, once you get used to the mechanics, you can truly enjoy the experience of being "The Dark Knight."

The game has some strong points, like its engaging characters and storyline, but the combat system definitely leaves room for improvement. It's frustrating when you execute a combo and the finishers don't register as they should. Additionally, the Riddler challenges can feel overwhelming and often don't seem worth the effort, given the minimal rewards.

On sent bien que ce jeu a fait l'objet d'un soin très attentif, surtout techniquement : Rocksteady maîtrise parfaitement l'Unreal Engine, toujours beau et fluide sans compter les temps de chargement quasi-inexistants ; ensuite le système de combat au corps-à-corps bien que basé sur une mécanique de mini-QTE est distrayant mais répétitif à la longue. Une mention spéciale (tout de même !) pour la VF, parfaite. Sorti de là, il reste que la musique est passe-partout et n'a jamais le caractère épique des 2 premiers films de Tim Burton. Le jeu est très (trop) dirigiste : quand on a contourné un groupe et qu'on lit à la porte suivante "vous devez tout nettoyer avant de continuer", c'est un peu dur à avaler ! les passages "action" ou "furtif" sont de toute façon imposés, pas d'alternative, alors que la disposition de l'île laissait présager une certaine liberté. Les énigmes sont pour leur part assez ridicules et simplistes. Destinées à varier le gameplay, les phases "plate-forme" en vue de profil nous ramènent 25 ans en arrière et ne sont pas du meilleur goût. Quant à l'interface, elle est souvent inutilement compliquée comme le nombre d'étapes pour faire exploser un mur par exemple ; manque de suite dans les idées également (pourquoi devoir maintenir la gâchette quand on passe en "furtif" ?...). Bref, fidèle adaptation sur le papier d'une licence basse de plafond mais qui ne m'a pas impressionné plus que ça : je ne me suis pas emmerdé mais je ne me suis pas vraiment amusé non plus ! ça manque de passion et on n'a d'ailleurs aucune sympathie particulière pour ce héros bodybuildé qui se prend très au sérieux (contrairement aux films de Tim Burton qui a su voir plus loin).
