Batman: Arkham Asylum Review

[vennom59]

i love arkham city should i buy game of the year edition Arkham asylum ?

[nakles005]

This gonna be the first batman game I've ever played or bought :) played the demo and it was awesome

[spacecoke]

press A press B press A press this game should be called "simon says - batman edition"

[luckyday465768]

Hey guys, doesn't Arkham Island remind you of Alcatraz island? i just thought it did, because they are both island, and prison facilities, except one is fiction and one is real.

[persen0123]

only $20!

[F00tbaIl4Ever]

@persen0123 only 9.95€ in finland... SUCK IT! :D

[svenskafester]

@F00tbaIl4Ever Just bought if for 149SEK in Sweden. Also bought Rayman Origin för 269SEK. It's gonna be a fun week. :P

[royblue17]

you all know that batman is a closeted homosexual right? that's why he's so awesome!!!!

[ObrienHouseProd]

i just bought and played arkham city before playing this? if i buy asylum will it still be fun?

[TheBareMin1mum]

@ObrienHouseProd It might be a bit less complex, but it will still be fun. The story and gameplay is fantastic.

[ObrienHouseProd]

@ObrienHouseProd thx :D . I'm just worried that after playing city and being used to all those cool moves you are able to do, and then playing asylum might be boring. Anywho, ill get it anyway! city was amazing and i want more!

[63Reed]

Ok I'm sorry but this game does not deserve the ratings it got. Just no.

WHAIT hit or miss A.I are you stupid of cours if its an enemy you want to hit him

AND MISS the A.I it isnt the games fault its you because you suck. Damn it IGN get your shit right

AND now im going to take a shit and when i come back my comment better be in the top comments! SO IGN can see there stupidness.

I hope everyone who reads it to have a good day.

[greenday051391]

@naskomiro Um thats not what he means by hit and miss a. i. dumbass

[SuperMicklovin]

@naskomiro When they say hit or miss they mean the A.I is bad (in the sense they will try and hit you but most likely miss you)

[smbz821]

Bioshock's atmosphere + Assassin's Creed's combat system + Zelda's dungeons = Batman Arkham Asylum.

[94oGs]

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

[94oGs]

BATMAN: ARKAM WORLD look it up ;D

[Zamora362]

the only thing that disappointed me in this game was the Killer Croc boss battle. pretty much just aim and throw a bat-a-rang at his head and move on to complete the goal. but other than that the game is really fun and i highly recommend this to anyone.

[kristapsb]

@Zamora362

I find that whole experience in Crocks lair offsets actual 1v1 boss battle.

[marklarandmamoo]

thumbs up if you would love to work for IGN!

[SpraynPraygames]

has this got the same graphics as arkham city?

[thepriceisright06]

second best comic book game ever. maximum carnage was the best

[rybrentmannftw]

@szalma94 i dont though the scarecrow part are,awsome

[szalma94]

thums up if u think this is better then arkham city!!

[rybrentmannftw]

@brownsandMMA the one in asylum is 10 hours but with the riddler stuff and challenges its around 16 city is much longer with twelve for main story but with riddler stuff side misson etc its around 30 hoped this helped ps city is better accept for the blusish costume hoped this helped

[StepsFans4Life]

why cnt superman or spiderman game be like this

[StepsFans4Life]

should i buy this

[brownsandMMA]

im gona buy both batmans soon but anyone know about how long the stories on both games are?

[juanmarcos2000]

@ZAINTHEGAMER you know that this is the REAL BATMAN :D

[marklarandmamoo]

Thumbs up if you are watching this to decide weather to get this before arkham city!

[helammo]

@marklarandmamoo Why would we thumbs up this comment when the top comment is the exact same...

[ISAAC3143]

I had only one problem with this: I loved this so much that I went on it too much and comepleted it really quickly! Got arkham city for christmas and it's way better but for some reason I really miss the original. Thank you ign, i dont know what i'd do without you!!!!!!

[zmeicorp]

and i would buy it if i had the money for video games. I would buy the game just to support the developer

[zmeicorp]

THIS GAME IS AWESOME! The way it's made and everything about it! If you like Batman you will miss a lot if you don't play this! Even if you don't like Batman you will like him after this game!It's just amazing! Like said in the video, best video game based on comic book character!

[CleanNinja]

I got this game and it was AWESOME!! I just started a full playthrough on my channel and will be posting regularly if you wanna check it out.

[MechanicalInternet]

@CleanNinja No.

[FanglezTheEmoBoy]

I cant wait till i get my PS3. This is what im definitley gonna get first.

[monkeydude106]

forearms? his forearms are how they're meant to be nigger

[iamgig9876]

im buying this cause i bought arkham city and I want to help the developers out cause they made a good SUPERHERO game...

[ps3freak121]

@iamgig9876 batman isnt a super hero

[nutbagticles]

mARKHAMill haha!

[Rbeals2012]

@oriel360 Arkham citys better more expansive

[tristessa56079]

Did anyone else find the ending a bit of a letdown? Though I really enjoyed the game, I felt the final boss and the ending were both a bit anti-climatic.

[oriel360]

best game ever made

[ttabbachino]

games awesome but whats with how ripped every boss is?

[horrorscope71270]

Hell I'm glad video game chick personas are hot, or what's the use in playing something like this, right? I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks...because if someone bitches about you liking something FAKE...their negative opinion clues you into how psychotic THEY are to even care. How's that for reality??? Lol. So KEEP making these chicks hot, because I need something to like for a change, lol.

[ak981260]

I only recently bought this game and was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Great graphics, great gameplay, great characters. In fact, the only downside about this game is that it's on Games for Windows Live.

[mido5430]

Finished arkham asylum and arkham city, My thoughts on them.. BEST GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED, definetly recommend them to any gamer

[poklioi]

arkham city not better

[MrSimba895]

still dont understand why he wears underwear ontop of his pants

[WolfBladeXerxes]

@MrSimba895 its part of the drawing process. being a hobbyist artist, i can say first hand it is MUCH easier to draw a person if you leave the pelvic guidlines in place.

[WarpathV1]

Thumbs up if your wTchin this review to decide whether or not to buy this before arkham city

[GUUgleBawlz]

@WarpathV1 Yes, get this before Arkham City if you like a fluid continuation between both, Asylum & City stories. By the way, Arkham City is amazing! You won't regret getting one before the other, but eventually obtain both for your game library. B.A. Asylum should be cheaper now by price comparison. Also, keep in mind you get the Catwoman[from game disc/coupon] and Robin[need points-800] add-ons from Xbox Live. Have fun in game!

[mugglemage]

@WarpathV1 that's meeee



[Xandersama]

@WarpathV1 STAY OUT OF MY HEAD!

[keeno1998]

@WarpathV1 I got Arkham City for Christmas, but I promised myself I would play Arkham Asylum first. I got it on games on demand and it was AWESOME!

[Foxtrot323]

Is it just me or was Arkham Asylum better than the sequal?

[Kingcameron66]

@Foxtrot323 U CRAZY

[Foxtrot323]

@Kingcameron66 uhh...no, i aint. I think that Arkham Asylum had a better story than Arkham City, and it was just better developed (as far as campaign). But Arkham City was better as far as combat and challenges and all that stuff, so overall I guess i liked Arkham City more. But I still think that the first one had a better story mode.

[Kingcameron66]

@Foxtrot323 i would say that arkham asylum is more scarier but i think i am just being fanboy but they pushed some boundries with the story of arkham city killing 2 big name charaters (plus 1 of them was hot insert sex joke) but it was making a mark in the franchise which u need balls 2 do so i say arkham citys story is better

[Foxtrot323]

@Kingcameron66 Well in that sense yes, but the original goal of Arkham Asylum was to stay more true to the comics. But by killing off several main characters, Arkham City basically just resorted the series to being a "regular" adaptation of the Batman story/timeline. It sorta dissolved the roots that Arkham Asylum followed and moved into the same realm as the Batman movies (killing off characters at will). I'm not saying this is bad, but i liked the first one's story better.

[Kingcameron66]

@Foxtrot323 i can see your point and i agree but its not like the movies killed any characters except rahjs al ghul but i can see your point

[yugiohrocks6758]

i hate losers who think a female video game character is hot i mean come on are u guys really that dumb in the head clam down losers i see a lot of comments about catwoman , poison ivy, Harley are u series look at the real world & as 4 those who don't like it but still accidently pay in attention thats because those developers just cant get enough as well its kinda funny i mean look at soul calibur

[Itmeow]

@yugiohrocks6758 Whats the shame in thinking a few video game chicks are hot? I'd totally tap posion ivy if i didn't get an itchy dick afterwards, and admit it, you probably would too if she showed up on your front door. Just because I find her to be attractive doesn't mean I fantasize about her. I'd fuck fuck megan fox without a second thought about it too. I don't see where the difference is, because both senarios are just as unlikely.

[Foxtrot323]

@Itmeow sooo true my friend...There isn't anything wrong with thinking a video game character is hot, I mean you'd hardly be a MAN if you didn't wanna tap Catwoman...

[GUUgleBawlz]

@Itmeow I was wondering why i felt itchy and tingly after looking at Catwomans' 3D image. I even made her crawl [left stick] forward + [right trigger] and panned the camera behind her. She has a nice trunk. Let me paint you another picture; Poison Ivy and Catwoman wrestling on the rooftop and after some time their suits are torn to shreds. Hot huh,? I definitely agree with you on all your points. As I have never had a girlfriend and probably never will. Who is Megan Fox ?

[travissokol]

@GUUgleBawlz u dont mean the megan fox part do you ?!

[tricknick9211]

@Itmeow dude i soooo agree! i would tap cat woman,lara croft,BAYONETTA....the list goes on!

[yugiohrocks6758]

@Itmeow

that funny theres 1...2...3 losers

loser unite

i bet when u guys lose in batman Harley comes out & u guys just stare at her tits while she yells loser loser loser i guess she agrees 2

your turn

[evilbeaver181]

@Itmeow yeah i'd fuck fuck megan fox too.

[HiiB3RNI4N]

How long does it take to just complete the missions ??

[wolfkingewan]

is it true you can roam freely around and stuff

[legocollecta555]

@wolfkingewan ya

[samushunter242]

@wolfkingewan ya

[wolfkingewan]

wow, won a 50% off coupon for this game, just for checking my inbox XD

[21iunie]

two of the most awsome games ever made

[batmanwings]

only thing is i wish the batman voice was more like the one in the new movies

[Nero3335]

@batmanwings The voice is Kevin Conroy and has made the voice for Batman since the beginning of the 90s with Batman: The Animated Series. I think he makes a good Baman!

[juanmarcos2000]

@batmanwings the new movies voice sounds like the cookie monster,kevin conroy works whit batman since 90's

[AlexanderVukovic]

steam game not available to buy in my country.hate steam...

[AARONKYUNGU]

keep clicking this 0:34 and batman has gone absoulutley wrong

[IMxYOURxDADDY]

and this is just Arkham City(prison), the next Batman game will probably take place in Gotham City itself which will be epic

[MagicOfficial]

@IMxYOURxDADDY The second one is called "Batman: Arkham City" where almost half of the entire city of Gotham has been turned into a huge prison. Look it up, it is EPIC.

[harvesterofgamez133]

@MagicOfficial not half of gotham city. its only a small section.

[christian1o812]

this shit id do tho harley and ivey damn id go to jail

[DreamingOutLoud33]

This and Arkham are epic I'm just wondering do you think they'll take the next one if their is one out on the streets of Gotham

[harvesterofgamez133]

@DreamingOutLoud33 your comment made no sense...

"This and Arkham" ???

this one is called Arkham Asylum, the other one is Arkham City...

[angelogarrigosx]

@Megawallpostgamer

no shit.

[bujilou]

best fukn game evar

[TonyCthaGREATest]

This game kicks ass. It's not as dope as Arkham City, but I still give it a 10/10

[deathwilldie2]

i like women :)

[kacj1995]

great game th challenges are hella fun too

[kacj1995]

@PIAVOnline definetly its a great game

[davencin10]

@PlAVOnline Yes.

[TheNathandrake123]

Best super hero game ever buy it now I'm burn city today XD

[MrKarateka123]

@TheNathandrake123 Hellz ya!!

[PIAVOnline]

Is this worth buying before arkham city?

[BaRtMaN2466]

@PIAVOnline yep, definitely

[davencin10]

@PIAVOnline Yes. Very much so.

[davencin10]

@PIAVOnline Yes.

[Saephaan]

@PIAVOnline yup a lot more than worth it haha i mean the story gets even more interesting if you already played this. haha really i wasn't even on batman before i played this game i though he was like robin's sex toy or something but after this games i now know that batman and spawn are my favorite heroes :,)

[hello34726]

Ok great game but then I fucked it up because when u have to glide into the bat cave I went a bit of and got stuck on a rock so I exited out and loaded the game again but it saved on the rock so I don't play it anymore :)

I like arkham city but asylum had a way better ending in my opinion.

[JayV523]

can u still get this after christmas or its only for black friday?

[MrKarateka123]

@dertaware18 Totally different games.. Do you like shooters better or action games better? If shooters, get saints row. If action/strategy is your thing get batman arkham city

[juanmarcos2000]

@dertaware18 I'M BATMAN (clue)

[dertaware18]

what do u guys think i should buy saints row the third or batam arkham city please respond

[PinkEyePanther]

@dertaware18 Batman

[snake9718]

@dertaware18 saints row 3

[TheGentlePipe]

@dertaware18 Batman

[MasterTomas02]

@dertaware18 i bought saints row the third,i think it's a very good game but..after 20 hours it's very boriiing..but you can do a lot of things..but..i think batham arkham city is better. but it's your choice..i'd rather buy arkham city :)

[polarbear0wat]

@dertaware18 arkham city 

[derblicker]

it got an interesting story but there were some points i absolutely didnt liked, even im a huge Batman fan.

some parts are extremly unfair to handle most are too easy.

Main problem is the bad controlling in my case on the ps3 aswell.

its a bit too short i played it trough in 4 days.

its somtimes to dark scenatic... i mean ok Batman is the dark knight but its part of the time annoying.

PS3 version is buggy.. texture problems.

and a personal thing it had been better when batman was black suited

[STLxPOISON]

this game reminds me of the movie batman and robin

[JayV523]

i never got this game but i got arkham city... did i miss a lot from the story in this game or not so much?

[dfro329]

I bought Arkham City and got Arkham Asylum free at Walmart, but the Arkham Asylum story is freaking long!!!

[TheMrwouldyourather]

@dfro329 Seriously? You ever play a Rockstar game? Like GTA or RDR? Or an Assassin's Creed game? This is nothing.

[deRoyLight]

@dfro329 I haven't played City yet so I don't know how much of the story is connected to Asylum, but you should definitely get Asylum even if you already have City. The story / game is awesome.

[theH8TRclan]

Honestly the asylum background is way cooler than a city

[rykalbapakkau]

is the game as good as arkham city?

[parazite511]

@rykalbapakkau it's worth, lad !

[hrcr101]

First game I ever played on my ps3.

[mrdhoki]

@hrcr101 nice start



[JoeDBean]

Just got this for £2.49 on Steam. I love Steam haha.

[Carmiquez]

@JoeDBean are you kidding me? I JUST PAID 40 dollars for this on the mac app store. fml

[Legacycore]

@Carmiquez mac *cough*

[holypiss17]

@JoeDBean it costs 49.99 on steam, how u do that?

[JoeDBean]

@holypiss17 You're thinking of Arkham CITY, not Asylum. In the Christmas sale, Armham ASYLUM was £2.49 for a day. It's back up to £9.99 now.

[TheAdobe511]

Which is better? Asylum or City?

[STIGERN989]

@TheAdobe511 both they are sick ! u shoud start with asylum!

[ronvnkl232]

@TheAdobe511 depends asylum is a better cynamtic experience but city is better in gameplay and quests and stuff like that

[Saephaan]

@TheAdobe511 both are execellent but city is more like assassins creed with a sandbox world and all that

[bloozism]

$5 on steam woot

[Dancrunch10]

thumbs up if you are here because of the sale on steam!

[DreTheChronic]

Hit or Miss Al? For fucks sake just give it a 10 already!

[karooo53]

[deathintheshadows100]

[crazyboy87654321]

@deathintheshadows100 yeah u wont understand the stor completly like y is the joker sick or what is titan and how it was made and how it got shipped off of the island and who made how did joker get it why did he get the titan and u wont understand what joker is saying sumtimes bcuz of past events i d game!Have a good day,a merry christmas and a happy new year!

[CHADE47lol]

@deathintheshadows100 i think so if you want to have some fun

[5e7en]

Should I even get this game if I already beat Arkham City?

[canivetesPT]

@5e7en If you buy for the story and gameplay, yes, but if you're looking for tons of things to do and big open worlds then no, because the story is good, but when you beat it (1/2 days) it got boring xD

[roms3]

@5e7en

Yes, it is excellent. It's also pretty cheap, so If you love Batman, go for it, this is an amazing game.

[GameDependable]

@gangstafish2000

He faked it.

[Liquidati0n123]

@gangstafish2000 FUCK u spoiled the whole damn game for me

[HuntsmanWTF]

@gangstafish2000 Thanks for spoling it shitface! Even tough you did write SPOILER ALERT! Why the hell would you even post it in the first place you fag!

[manbot2010]

@gangstafish2000 That can be easily remedied.

[JayMrules]

Ive beaten this game before. And was wondering should I get it again just to have it along with arkham city?

[AFalconPunch]

Is it me or was this games story a little darker than Arkham City?

[anime1dude]

Boom Headshot

Killing Spree

Running Riot

Killtacular

I'm Batman!!!!!

[SuperMp47]

Is there free roam?

[BaRtMaN2466]

@SuperMp47 Yes, you get to free roam arkham island.

If your contemplating getting this game, I say you should definitley get it! To this day, it is still one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had! :D

[alexrares40]

no, city trust me its more better then asylum

[CHADE47lol]

@alexrares40 dude get the fuck out of her troll face!

[Champi0n1Sk8er]

i beat arkham city...is there any point on getting this now?

[Romario3210]

@Champi0n1Sk8er killer croc and scarecrow are the reasons for getting this amazing game

[CHADE47lol]

@Champi0n1Sk8er this game is very good you should get it!

[supereldinho]

I didn't think much of this game first. But after playing it, Batman truly earned my deepest respect :)

[n0rt0nat0r]

im getting this for christmas then after i beat it im gettin city

[ajaltonwilliams1986]

Poison ivy was way to hot on that game Omg

[PS3GAMER4LIFE88]

Yey I bought Batman: Arkham City and got Arkham Aslym for FREE at Walmart!
