SUMMARY
Batman Arkham Asylum is a third person action-adventure and puzzle game where you play as the Dark Knight himself,
Bruce Wayne. The story behind the game centers around the Joker and his typical "funny buisness". It all begins when Batman
brings the Joker to Arkham Asylum. The Joker breaks free, lets all of his henchmen out of their cells, and takes over the
asylum. As Batman, you must stop the Joker's evil plot and bring order back to Arkham Asylum.
GAMEPLAY
Being Batman is awesome! He has cool gadgets and fighting moves and is the stealthiest superhero ever. You also get
to play like this in the game. In the Story Mode, you must use your batarangs, batclaw, and grapling gun to defeat henchmen
and sneak through the asylum. Besides beating up bad guys, you have to answer riddles and find hidden maps and interview
tapes. When you collect these hidden items and reach certain checkpoints in the game you can unlock certain extras. Levels
for Challenge Mode are examples of unlockables. In Challenge Mode you must defeat all of Joker's henchmen in a certain
manner, whether it be by steath or by sheer force.
GAMEPLAY
It is easy to maneuver when you are Batman. He can jump, glide, and scale walls with ease. The camera is set in
third person so you can always get a good view of your surroundings and your attackers. Henchmen aren't hard to beat but
their power is in numbers. Playing this game is so much fun that I spent multiple hours playing in one sitting. The story
behind the game involves multiple characters from the Batman comics.
DESIGN
The graphics of the game are great. Characters and rooms are greatly detailed. The story is set during the night so
everything is very dark, just as Batman likes it. The asylum's buildings are very dated and gives the game an eerie feel.
Batman Arkham Asylum isn't level-based; it is room-based. You must progress through different rooms and offices in the
asylum.
