"Batman: Arkham Asylum exposes players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that takes them to the depths of Arkham Asylum - Gotham's psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Gamers will move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains who have taken over the asylum.

Using a wide range of Batman's gadgets and abilities, players will become the invisible predator and attempt to foil The Joker's demented scheme."



The game is pretty immersive, gives you a lot of options to take down your opponents. But considering the demo only, it does get a little repetitive after a while. IE. Swing from gargoyle to gargoyle and face plant enemies.

The graphics do look nice and fits the atmosphere perfect for an insane asylum of Gotham's worst criminals.


The game comes out TOMORROW, August 25, 2009 for you Xbox and PS3 owners.

And I hear it comes out in about two weeks for PC users.

Sounds interesting, so I take its a stealth game? Does it take place only inside the asylum or do we get to run around the streets as well?

[ShinamoriAoshi]

Naw, just inside the asylum, The Joker set a trap and Commissioner Gorden and the Batman are stuck inside.

And yes it is a sneaking game, they have guns, you don't, and you won't last long if you bum rush them.

They also become more panicked if they notice their friends are missing, or if they find their dead bodies.

Nice, I think Nick would like this, if he can get over the name. Hes a big fan of sneaking around.

[ShinamoriAoshi]

Yeah, its pretty good, you also fight bosses like each of Batman's enemies, such as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy aside from the Joker.

[Flashwerewolf]

Harley Quinn was too good for the Joker :[

[ShinamoriAoshi]

How so?

[Flashwerewolf]

She was so loyal to him and went out of her way to do more that he expected and he never cared.

[ShinamoriAoshi]

Aw, why don't you give her some company. 

[Flashwerewolf]

Psh yeah right, she isnt real. I had a crush on her as a kid tho :P

[ShinamoriAoshi]

We all did, and secretly still do...

>.>

Anyways, I've heard in the game she's a dumb girl who does ditsy things for Batman to follow.

[Flashwerewolf]

Thats lame, such a shame.
