Wow

BILL19 BILL19 from Telford [Highly rated reviewer] , 30/08/2009

This game is amazing, I give it 5 Stars. Theres nothing I dont like about it. The graphics, gameplay, fighting system, gadgets, boss battles, detective mode, riddles. I love everything about this game.

You can play this game anyway you want, I prefer the stealth option, I like to take out enemies one by one and cause the other enemies to become nervous when they see a body hanging from the roof. Or you can go all out and just have a huge brawl and generate a huge combo.

I also really like the story line in this game, theres plenty of interesting cut-scenes and you will see alot of familiar and un-familiar bosses! Also apart from following the main story line you can also find things hidden around the island, such as chattering-teeth and riddles hidden in hard to find places. Apart from that there is Challenge Mode which is also great!

I give this 10/10 and its a definite rent, or buy if you can spare the money!

How Batman Should Be...............

JustAFanTC from Leeds [Highly rated reviewer] , 05/09/2009

This game is astounding, I have played it through twice and am now attempting the hardest difficulty setting and it still doesen't bore me.

Thrown in at the deep end, Batman in is the middle of a seige as The Joker and his 'friends' begin to take over Arkham Asylum. The plot is as simple as that!! But when you realise that Arkham is currently home to some notorious villains, suddenly the story begins to weave in and out between Batman and these amzing characters. I do not want to spoil this , as the game keeps throwing out suprises.

What I will say is that the graphics are brilliant, the story, compelling, the gameplay - strategic and action packed and the voice acting fantastic!! The detail in this game is enough to make any fan of the franchise proud. This is true batman, not the 'Nolan' version, here we get characters such as Killer Croc and Poison Ivy which the newest director would struggle with.

Some of the best parts of the game are taking the henchmen out, fighting bosses and solving the Riddles which Edward Nigma challenges Batman with.

I don't want to say anymore, but this is a must!!
