The 2009 release of DC-comics first Batman game. Arkham Asylum is an intense action-adventure game where you play Batman and are trying to foil the Jokers plans. This game is played in a 3rd person perspective just like most other action adventure games such as Infamous. In the storyline of Arkham Asylum , Batman catches Joker and sends him to jail. Since there was a fire at Gotham`s Blackgate Prison, the Joker and many of his thugs are moved to Arkham. The security of Arkham is overridden by Harley Quinn allowing the Joker to escape. Then the hunt is on for Batman to recapture the Joker and put him behind bars. This game is very action packed with lots of Hand-to-Hand combat situations and of course getting to use all of Batman`s cool gadgets such as the classic Batarang, explosive gel, a grappling gun, the Batclaw and even a zipline launcher! These gadgets give Batman the ability to jump high swing from different places and even glide with his giant bat like cape. With the Joker`s plans becoming even more evil a twisted you must use your timing and intellect to defeat him. I rank 4/5 because of the intense combat, creative storyline and of course just because you get to be Batman! The newest game in this series was released recently. Check out my review on the newer Batman: Arkham City.
