Batman: Arkham Asylum Video Review by GameSpot

[pingu53]

this game does nearly everying right BUT it is insanley hand holdy

[Sarnius26]

@pingu53 ..........Your........your kidding me right? I WISH it was more hand-holdy, didn't know where the fuck to go or how the hell to move on most of the time.

[eateroftheflame]

@Sarnius26 But there's instructions every few minutes and everything is shown on the map. Alot of games like this make you figure it out yourself

[darknintendoxavgn]

@pingu53 What does hand holdy mean?

[233jester]

@darknintendoxavgn linear, like it told you where you had to go

[clonard]

This game, and its sequel are two of the best superhero games ever created, on every level. Now all Rocksteady and Warner Bros. need to do is give us a proper Superman game! Please make it happen.

[JAPA1589]

THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT THE GAME IS THAT WHEN UR ENEMIES R DONE THEY ALWAYS GRAB THEYRE HEADS...

[n0rt0nat0r]

[Mega1a2a]

I love this game!!!!!

[megasharkman12]

harley quin is hot

[thefoodgamer1]

IGN are better at most games but gamespot make's better reviews of games.

[brucewayne264]

Rocksteady deserves to be treated like Batman themselves... they somehow managed to take everything from Arkham Asylum, and make it 2 times better in Arkham City. Developer of the Universe along with Naughty Dog (Uncharted series) in my book

[EPINERD]

2.18 CHUCK NORRIS (batman be takeing notes!).

[MrEntertainmentWow]

i got the game of the year edition on ps3 now i can get all the chalenge maps 4 free, i can also play it in 3D, and I can play as the joker.

[SuperMicklovin]

I prefer the look of batman and the voice acting in this one more than arkham ctiy

[ThatCallumWoodward]

I didn't like batman, I played this game, now I do. End of story!

[satchelmuffins]

[BallsMahoeny]

[BallsMahoeny]

@WingZeroHeeroYuy defend your boyfriend. i dont give a damn. he holds his hands on his hips like a homo.

[WingZeroHeeroYuy]

@BallsMahoeny y u being a fag

[BallsMahoeny]

@WingZeroHeeroYuy im not being a fag. i was making an observation to the way he holds his hands and you told me to shut the fuck up. so your the one bein a fag.

[WingZeroHeeroYuy]

@BallsMahoeny why so defensive about it faggot?

[BallsMahoeny]

@WingZeroHeeroYuy im not defensive. all i did was make an observation. your trolling and trying to get a reaction out of someone who wont give it to you. keep going. you obviously have nothing better to do.

[WingZeroHeeroYuy]

@BallsMahoeny sad person is sad. lol!

[shrpits]

kratos and sam fisher are batmans parents?

[SuperMicklovin]

[wilfreezze]

[TheSkizsus]

[103peanut]

I hope the reviews for Arkham City are all 10's!

[ultraxpress]

Whoever was playing is terrible at this game

[103peanut]

@ultraxpress I know they got a horrible player!

[royalbow2]

The joke was on me, cause somehow I've let this game pass me by. I think I'll get it

[4Horseman21]

@royalbow2 Bro you HAVE to get this! and the sequels out October 18th! You have no idea what your missing. Not to mentions the dlc content. ^_^

[Fasooliful]

Can you turn off the strong language in this game?

[PumaSweat]

@Fasooliful I whish. I'm no prude but if they're gonna have all the violence and language in modern games they shouls give you the option to turn it off or on.

[crashtestdummy114]

how long is the story mode for this game

[MEXICANSUPERBALLER]

@crashtestdummy114 pretty long long maybe 2 or 3 days but the story mode is really fun, awesome, and exciting

[TheMrkaratekid2000]

the only thing that was bad in this game was the lipsinking i think that arkham city will be better

[MEXICANSUPERBALLER]

@TheMrkaratekid2000 u got that from ign review on this wonderful fantastic game u dumb ass

[TheMrkaratekid2000]

@MEXICANSUPERBALLER no i did not mate i have played the game it was terible

[SuperMicklovin]

@TheMrkaratekid2000 WHAT are you saying arkham asylum is terrible?!?!?

[CHADE47lol]

@TheMrkaratekid2000 this game is terrible are you drunk?

[calypsosoul01]

thumbs up if on the giant human was from gow3 cyclops

[RandBMuiscSupplement]

The person playing this hasn't worked out how to us the counter option lol :P

[thnk4urself]

I hate this faggot doing the review. he should go to ign because he's the worst reviewer at gamespot, he'd fit in at ign

[oboyy]

to the batcave alfred

[joeyxl3456]

Superman 64 is better. jkjkjkjkjk lol i bought this lately cant wait to play it :)

[Hungryadamjones]

@joeyxl3456 Its awesome,best comic game ever

[FatMenDontFly]

why did harley go all emo biker in arkham city? she not even gonna have her original voice actor

[tanuvasa]

56 people work for IGN and prefer superman on N64 lol

[theisoganders]

@tanuvasa retard

[ultraxpress]

@tanuvasa ??????? IGN gave this game a good review

[MSNDBZ24]

@tanuvasa makes sense right? because IGN didn't give an even better score to this game than gamespot, right? -.-

[tanuvasa]

@MSNDBZ24 sorry i was just jokin mate. i merely referring to the dislikes.. im not tryna troll on anyone dude trust me

[nero314100]

@tanuvasa you shouldn't even joke about something like that. I loved the N64 back in the day but that game is the definition of awful.

[tanuvasa]

@nero314100 haha i know. N64 is to this day one of my favourite consoles... had so many great games.. unfortunatley Superman 64 was terrible.

[hellzonefighter1]

cant wait for arkham city :D

[omegafights112]

these game makes me want to unlock everything just to know everything about every character ^_^

[Vuretas]

damn, batman should have left quincy sharp for dead

[misterhoobomaster]

Batman =best movies,Best games

[coolmikevids99]

[convans4ever]

[TheAmazingAuthor]

@convans4ever and batman forever

[toSTONEiGO]

@misterhoobomaster actually, it only had 4 good movies. the rest of em sucked. but the four of them that were good, were really fucking good.

[FredIsMyName22]

@misterhoobomaster Best graphic novels?

[smileyjoker1997]

BEST SUPERHERO EVER. PERIOD.

[delli2011]

beat the game twice. that's unheard of for me when i don't even beat any of my games

[dragothica]

Buy it from Steam only tonight for 7,50€ ! And this review, so much better than the ones IGN throw up on you, that awesome reviewer guy and the length of the video almost the double of IGN's.

[crazyulah]

@dragothica i know that this review is more detailed but the ign review is one where you watch right befire you want to buy a game to quickly know if its worth buying

[Zarksoo]

75% off on steam :O

[MegaTommy11]

1:00 for skipping adds

[HarlequinFelis]

@MegaTommy11 The ads'll still come up if you skip past the yellow line... Bloody Youtube.

[thesupersandwhich]

[vidmasterx7]

my mom surpized me with this game it was the best thing ive ever played

[LuisVellon777]

Superman is Better

[CHADE47lol]

@LuisVellon777 lol dumbass

[Macman2510]

this review is so much better than IGN's review...

[xamazexx]

i have to get myself this game!!

[aimannorzahariwod]

@xamazexx fuck you're late lololololol, get it, it should be in bargain bin, i still have my collector's edition

[adr916sac]

Awe man I thought batman was guna curb stomp the last dude :(

[noteastside]

who would have ever guessed that sam fisher and kratos would have a love child named batman

[T1SC00K1E]

@noteastside THATS NOT TRUE. How come his parents died by muggers then?

[smoo87]

@noteastside you know, its the other way around.

[silvertigrex]

Kratos...he just cant say no to sex. No matter which gender.

[hafsitafsi]

@noteastside so you mean that kratos will be killed by a thug?

[ElementL09]

@noteastside What are you talking about?  Batman IS THE FATHER of Kratos and Sam Fisher.

[theisoganders]

@noteastside EWWW!!! :( you are grossing me out...-_-'

[patriotrower]

That guy looks like a bald gay Tony without the glasses.

[pa11ar]

i have played through the game 8 times and know everything from start to the end but YET i can´t get enought of the Game! :)

and Arkham City looks even more AZM :P

[3osa16]

54 people want to have a bat punch

[scoosfresh12]

I seriously can not get enough of this game! its so entertaining :D and ive like clocked it twice now and I really really cant wait for arkham city XD

[BenjaminEvansROX3]

BATMAN IS MY FAVORITE SUPER HERO because he is only human and the AWESOME THING ABOUT BATMAN IS that BATMAN can BECOME REALITY. ANYONE IN THIS DANG WORLD CAN BE BATMAN. yeah THAT IS RIGHT anyone can BE BATMAN IN THIS WORLD. LITERALLY!!!

[TheCybermasterX]

One of the best game i have ever played on console. No doubt.

[ReverseNegativeTV]

Of course Batman can outsmart a bullet, cause he's the Goddamn Batman!

[thegooseofgrim21]

are the controls for this game wierd on the pc?

[TheLegacyofgaming]

@thegooseofgrim21 no there great

[neroinaction]

@thegooseofgrim21 get a controller , from an xbox controller to the cheapest controllers for pc and then download a xbox 360 controller emulator its a .dll so don't don't a program

[greshxxxx]

the player is bad, i mean really

[gyarreto]

Hahahahaa that totally convinced me, I'm getting that game

[ethanpaulishot]

Actually the two games are connected dumbfuck, the second one will involve the titan scarecrow got away with at the end. And yes this is worth your money, best comic game ever, and for everyone.

[xretardedxgenius98]

@ethanpaulishot actualy scarecrow didnt get away with it, croc did. Hell, we dont even kow if scarecrow is even still alive after what happened in the sewers!

[strangelylucky]

@xretardedxgenius98 no, there is different endings, all we know is either croc, scarecrow or bane had the titan, all of them are still alive

[MrChunkyMonkey79]

don't waste your money on this, wait for arkham city

[RB8Gem9]

@MrChunkyMonkey79 um, it makes sense to play the first game to get an idea of what the second game is about - dumb way of thinking on your part.

[MrChunkyMonkey79]

@RB8Gem9 it's not a sequel, there's no story that links up the two, so i'm going back to my original comment.

[nipps5]

@MrChunkyMonkey79 read the wiki article, first line...its a sequel

[CHADE47lol]

@MrChunkyMonkey79 its a sequel you dumbass and arkham asylum rocks if you don't like it then you won't like arkham city

[VintageBalderdash]

@MrChunkyMonkey79 ...Why? I'm beginning to doubt if you've even played the game, because I don't know how you can refer to buying Arkham Asylum as "A waste of money."

Or here's a good suggestion, why not get both? It would only make sense to play Arkham Asylum first, not only because Arkham City stems from the Titan aspect in Asylum, but Asylum's the one with the praise, and the GOTY title. Not to mention Getting Arkham Asylum is cheaper than a new $60 game.

Your reasoning is also unexplained,

[mmelro]

If you don't like sneaking games like Tenchu, assasins creed etc you will probably won't like this just like me. You don't get to shoot a gun here and you need a little patience.

[CloudTheStrong]

@mmelro you don't really need any patients in this or assasins's creed...I rush games....my "patience" last for a grand total of like 2-3 seconds before I'm neck deep in enemies...Sure I died several times during the game but that was because I just assaulted the dudes with guns a lot....big mistake on my part but after you get used to the gameplay you dont have to wait more than a couple moments to be able so get to the best point to take out the first (not very well observed) guy in the room

[Devikvampire]

Hm I'll be getting this after I finish LA noire.

[TheQuentinSK8]

I also bought this yesterday (it is now 3am) and it's awesome

[BlindColor360]

I just bought it today. Can't believe I missed this one.

[EpicBunty]

"Miss out out on this one aand the joke's on you"

now im convinced.

[idoGutman22]

this game is awsome, i cant stop playing.

[TheNamelessCharacter]

Lol! A Team Fortress 2 reference at 3:14!!!

[southparkfanatic333]

whoever was recording the gameplay footage is really bad at the game no offense

[nine9live5]

i wonder how sweaty batman would feel in that suit....

[Kingopersia]

miss out on this one...and the jokes on YOU! LMAO

[filopride619]

his movements very stiff and i didnt really like the camera

[ChiTownOnDeck]

This game was GREAT! One of the best games I have ever played (thats saying alot). The only minor problem I had was with the way batman walks. Whats up with that stiff walk?? Lol....no biggy (at all) but they could have but some "batman swag" on it or sumthn...

[plantify]

wow if i was batman when u lock harley up i would be like hold on and have sex with her

[johny344]

@plantify lol...fantastic

[theninjainblack1237]

@TheFwon well, that's going to change...

[ps3fanatic619]

@evilryutaropro I thought metal gear solid was a good game with balanced stealth and combat

[FurFurKanga]

@ps3fanatic619 Combat in metal gear solid isn't as much as that in this game

[evilryutaropro]

only game that really balances combat and stealth

[MisterStrange91]

Nice review man !

[TeamApparition]

Is this better for Xbox or for PC?

[SuperSupermanX1999]

@TeamApparition the graphics are slightly better for PC but i couldn't understand the keyboard controls so i say Xbox.

[TeamApparition]

@SuperSupermanX1999 Yeah, and my sound card doesn't like games. >.>

[Randomthings657]

@SuperSupermanX1999 actually, you can configure the controls yourself

[SuperSupermanX1999]

@Randomthings657 can you? i must have missed that part. o well

[evilryutaropro]

@TeamApparition ps3 has joker

[oaxaca911]

half of the fun is finding creative ways to kill enemies

[alpinestarsssss]

ive been wanting to play this game ever since it came out but i never got around to it...well tomorow thats going to change

[MrTalias]

IGN review much better!

[TeamApparition]

@MrTalias You shittin' me?

[TheCrazedLorry98]

The thing about batman is that he doesnt have any super powers e.g. flying, fireballs, electricity, spider webs, super strenght. Hes just a human being but he is so fucking powerful, smart and has awesome gadgets that he could take down some of the most dangerous foes there are and thats y people like batman...its because hes human and people can relate to him in a way they cant with other super heroes.

[TheFwom]

@TheCrazedLorry98 thats true!if batman were real,he would have already found bin laden,unlocked and decoded the da vinci code,and much more.i wish there was a real batman...........

[cobracraig2]

@TheFwom lol

[polnatista2410]

@TheFwom huhu... i am batmen.

u jelly?

[TheMitko97]

@TheCrazedLorry98 You should have added tough, that unless you're a blackbelt in karate and judo and all that you shouldn't go fighting bad guys because......well.....you'll DIE, the difference between batman and us is that he has nothing to live for. Also I like spider-man because the web he shoots out of his hands....it's not all web if you know what I mean. The web needs something sticky too you know !

[TheCruzMovies]

@TheMitko97 im pretty sure he covered the tough part by saying that hes fucking powerful

[TheMitko97]

@TheCruzMovies :D I know. I just wanted to put that out there :D

[catholicgamer99]

@TheCrazedLorry98 I 100% agree, that's why Batman is my favorite superhero.

[ryche513]

@TheCrazedLorry98 its not like weve never heard that before... i feel so enlightened now

[Yuvilastor]

@TheCrazedLorry98 Good point, but I think the real reason why people enjoy Batman is because of his awesome villains. I mean, no offense, but where would he be without Joker?

[Juggler1711]

@TheCrazedLorry98 Well like you said he's not really a super hero, unless having a ton of money counts as "super"

[deraickripper]

@Juggler1711 he is a superhero, anyone who thinks superhero came from superpowers just don't shit about comics. Batman started his own legend if going back in time to the stone age and save the fucking MULTIVERSE, while being a ghost pirate, a cowboy. a witch hunter that fought a lovecraft like superfauna, solving the mistery behind dr hurt, and coming back in time to hit the devil in his face is not superhero worthy then no one is... not meta my ass...

[Juggler1711]

@deraickripper you're right, i know nothing about comics. You...win?

[deraickripper]

@deraickripper drunk comic fan rage... just that

[stsars13]

Joker = B.A.M.F.

[fabpianoman]

This guy is annoying as fuck!

[plasticbudgie]

£3.75 Sterling.

[colakuu]

i bougth this for 12.5€ lol cheap!

[Periwinkleton]

I bought this game for $7.50 on Steam :]

[DalleKanelius]

jizzed when he pointed att me and said "... the jokes on you"

premium stuff

[ELohELification]

Toe-to-toe with Thugs, Satisfying Stealth, Great Gadgets, Remarkable Riddles...

This guy has some alliteration going on here!

[369dc]

The Cape looks Awesome.

[InhabitantOfOddworld]

@MustyMarkus1 I said animals to save time. I acknowledge that spiders are arachnids but if I said that I couldn't refer to batman, rhino, vulture etc. The point I was making was that many superheroes are based on different animals

[voidremoved]

all devs should start making an option for "american" and... "unamerican".

because i cant stand games having flashy like tell u what button to push and when or spidey sense in a batman game.

its reminds me of when americans put control chips in hockey pucks and have glowing red dots all over. that was stupid! and u know they wanna use it to steer the puck around too...

[holyfuck444]

@voidremoved I usually don't like arguing or anything on the internet but your comment about American's was so stupid and unnecessary and I'm not even American ! I don't like the flashy stuff either but there's no connection between that and America...you're just cranky.

[voidremoved]

@holyfuck444 i guess you were still crapping diapers when that was going down. if u were even born yet, im sure you only signed up here saying you are over 18 so you can watch all the stupid girls in their underpants. now youre just crapping your pants. okay?

[holyfuck444]

@voidremoved And you sound like you are still in diapers...your speech is pitiful and the point you are getting across is satisfactory and illegible. =Z Poor creature. How embarrassing of a fellow Canadian.
