.co.uk Review
-------------
The Dark Knight returns in the first game to do him justice in
his more than 20 year history in video games. Not based on any
specific comic book or movie it takes all the best ideas and
visuals from all of Batman's many incarnations to create a unique
spin on one of pop culture's greatest icons.
Arkham Asylum becomes the backdrop for Batman's most dangerous
challenge Killer Croc has never looked more imposing or been more
dangerous Batman must discover the deadly secrets behind The
Joker's masterplan Stalk the minor criminals like prey and strike
from the dark when they least expect it
The entire game takes place within Arkham Asylum, where The Joker
and his allies have overtaken the facility and set a trap for
Batman. This is no simplistic beat 'em-up though, with Batman
forced to prove his status as the world's greatest detective with
a number of complex forensic style puzzles.
When it does come to combat though you must still use your
cunning as much as your fists, as you stalk unaware enemies and
distract them with the bodies or screams of their cronies. With
believable physics, superb graphics and a serious adult tone this
is more than just another superhero tie-in.
