Batman is one of those characters which have transcended all boundaries and is a universally popular character. This DC comics legend has dominated the shelves of graphic novels(read comics) stores, filled cinema halls full of movie goers and now has been all immortalized in digital gameplay. Batman : Arkham Asylum (B:AA) gives the player the reigns to the "caped crusader" as he hunts through the island of Arkham Asylum trying to unravel the plot that the joker has set in motion.
Not only is the lighting and musical score spot on for such a game, B:AA gives us a much more realistic view of the madmen the "vengeance of the night" has to deal with. Gameplay is never boring despite certain repetitive elements and while the fighting mechanics are easy to grasp, they take a while to really master. B:AA pits the gamer not only against the joker but other batman villains such as bane, killer croc and poison ivy. Also, there is the ever-present riddler with his hidden statues and riddles that you can solve for bonus unlockable content.
Graphics though stunning are not highly demanding and most laptops with a 2.4GHz processor, 3GB RAM and a dedicated 512MB GPU should be able to play it at full settings without much of a problem.
What really gives this game a ring of authenticity is the voice-acting done by some of the original voice artists from Batman : The Animated Series. This ensures that the joker has just the right amount of "crazy" in his voice.
As you can obviously understand, I will not be describing this game any further to avoid giving any spoilers, however, I will say this, it is one of the best games ever made and definitely worth playing. The freed Arkham Asylum inmates will ensure that the "Dark Knight" will be tested to his limits, can you handle it ?
Final Rating : 10 / 10
Note : This game is worth the money, and if you're like me, it's worth the time spent downloading it !
