Conclusion

One of the best titles of 2009, a 3rd person action game that offers a new and good story in Batman's universe without demanding any knowledge about this character.

Gameplay: 91

The game offers you the chance to be a true Batman with all the afferent looks, gadgets and combat style. You feel a sick pleasure cracking the bones of every enemy performing special combos, or when you behave like a predator from the shadows. The Challenge Mode causes addiction while you try to earn medals and beat others online scores.

Although the game takes place in Arkham Asylum, the area is vast and consists of multiple in-doors and out-doors locations recreated in 'noir' style with art-deco elements. Unfortunately you are forced to use excessively the detective view which automatically changes the looks of the game into an Xray style, stealing the pleasure of admiring the true graphics. I was a little bit disturbed by the camera view which is similar to the one present in Dead Space where your character is placed too close to the vantage point. 

Multiplayer: N/A

Sound: 93

One of the best characteristics of this game is the voice acting. Starring Mark Hamill as the voice of Joker, the game stands out from the majority delivering a believable experience. But you have to know that every character (from main characters to simple NPC's) features good voice acting based on a well written script which is worth listening to.

Our review is based on the XBOX 360 version of the game, which didn't cause any major problems while running. No frame-rate drops, no glitches or other graphical errors. Sometimes in close perspective the characters feature visible low textures.
