Rocksteady have proven that they’re a company that really care. They actually ‘get’ Batman, they’ve looked at the character from every conceivable angle and strived to make this everything anybody could possibly want from a Batman game.
There is not a single-element of the Batman that this game doesn't nail, from the gadgets to the atmosphere and the combat. The action is thrilling and varied, and even the fetch quests are compelling.

Absolutely great game. Despite almost being 15 years old, the graphics don’t feel outdated. Combat system is fun, and the adaptability required for various scenarios keeps things interesting. Map was well done, and the riddler trophies were fun to try to find.

Overall, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a fantastic, exceptional, and an extravagant video game, and revitalizes both the comic-book and Batman video game based genres.
Between the Story Mode, Challenge Rooms and myriad hidden items (that are more compelling than in most games), there’s a lot of entertainment in Arkham Asylum.
While it’s slightly hurt by a few minor problems, Batman: Arkham Asylum rises above them to provide an unforgettable experience. Part of it is due to the well-crafted storyline, but it’s also due to the well-made gameplay that makes most things easy to do and certainly more than any Batman game released in the last 15 years.
Batman: Arkham Asylum doesn't quite deliver on all of its big ideas, and thus dodges the highest of accolades, but its rousing peaks make its low points more than bearable. Its best moments of dazzling showmanship easily qualify as must-see entertainment, even if they're not sufficient to make the game as a whole a must-play.
very good game but killer moth is not in it except for a little picture it would have been better if he was in it more rocksteady please put killer moth in the next one when it comes out please

On sent bien que ce jeu a fait l'objet d'un soin très attentif, surtout techniquement : Rocksteady maîtrise parfaitement l'Unreal Engine, toujours beau et fluide sans compter les temps de chargement quasi-inexistants ; ensuite le système de combat au corps-à-corps bien que basé sur une mécanique de mini-QTE est distrayant mais répétitif à la longue. Une mention spéciale (tout de même !) pour la VF, parfaite.
Sorti de là, il reste que la musique est passe-partout et n'a jamais le caractère épique des 2 premiers films de Tim Burton. Le jeu est très (trop) dirigiste : quand on a contourné un groupe et qu'on lit à la porte suivante "vous devez tout nettoyer avant de continuer", c'est un peu dur à avaler ! les passages "action" ou "furtif" sont de toute façon imposés, pas d'alternative, alors que la disposition de l'île laissait présager une certaine liberté. Les énigmes sont pour leur part assez ridicules et simplistes.
Destinées à varier le gameplay, les phases "plate-forme" en vue de profil nous ramènent 25 ans en arrière et ne sont pas du meilleur goût. Quant à l'interface, elle est souvent inutilement compliquée comme le nombre d'étapes pour faire exploser un mur par exemple ; manque de suite dans les idées également (pourquoi devoir maintenir la gâchette quand on passe en "furtif" ?...).
Bref, fidèle adaptation sur le papier d'une licence basse de plafond mais qui ne m'a pas impressionné plus que ça : je ne me suis pas emmerdé mais je ne me suis pas vraiment amusé non plus ! ça manque de passion et on n'a d'ailleurs aucune sympathie particulière pour ce héros bodybuildé qui se prend très au sérieux (contrairement aux films de Tim Burton qui a su voir plus loin).

After a friend of mine harassed me for basically only playing FPS games, he suggested I give this a try. Based on all the critical acclaim, I decided to give it a go. And I'm sorry, I've got to say, I don't get it. The controls are incredibly clunky. There are way too many irritating collectibles and puzzles. This game is just tedious and very frustrating. One of the few good things I can say about it is that I was a fan of the Batman comic books growing up, and they stayed very true to the characters. Otherwise, definitely one of the most overrated games of the last few years.
