One of the biggest assets this game has is the combat system, which uses more than fifty different individual moves that can all be chained together. In the story mode, enemies come at you from every direction, and you'll have to fight them off using melee and strike moves. The asylum itself is very dark and is punctuated by small floodlights in combat heavy areas. Of course, Batman brings Joker to the titular asylum, but once he gets there, the Joker locks him in! And to make matters worse, all the baddies he put away so long ago (like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy) are now free and roaming the halls and out for blood Bat blood! The game begins with Batman apprehending Joker, but he is suspicious that it was a bit too easy this time. But, if you are worried about this title being on the light side, don't worry. The story is written by Paul Dini, who worked on Batman: The Animated Series. This tradition continues with Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall.īatman: Arkham Asylum actually takes place in the halls of the fabled asylum, with all its insane inhabitants trawling its halls. While older Batman movies and TV shows were all about fantastic enemies and comical one-liners, since the advent of Batman Begins, we have borne witness to a much darker knight than ever before. JAlthough the Batman franchise has been around for quite some time, it has been going through a transformation of late.
