Game Description:

Batman: Arkham Asylum is an upcoming action-adventure stealth video game for Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360, and is based on DC Comics' Batman. It is being developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Square Enix Europe in conjunction with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics and will be released on August 25, 2009 in North America and August 28, 2009 in Europe.[3][4] It is based on the long-running comic book mythos, as opposed to most other Batman games which are adaptations of the character in other media besides the source material.

The game begins with Batman capturing the Joker after his latest plot and escorting him to Arkham Asylum for imprisonment. Due to the Joker's recent attack on Gotham's Blackgate Prison, a large number of sane convicts have been transferred. However, the Joker, with the help of Harley Quinn, frees all the inmates and closes Arkham Asylum with Batman and Commissioner Gordon inside. Joker then threatens to detonate bombs all around Gotham if someone tries to enter the building. Batman must uncover the full extent of the Joker's plan while contending with the horrors of Arkham.[9]

The game has a more closed gameplay atmosphere. In a description by Game Informer, the gameplay is reminiscent of BioShock.[5] Gameplay places just as much focus on Batman's role as a detective as on his combat prowess. Most of the game is played from Batman's perspective through an over-the-shoulder, third person perspective, similar to that of Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space.[6] It has been hinted that certain villains might be playable at some point in the game although this may be as an unlockable element after completing the game.[5]

Arkham was chosen as a location because of its limitations including the fact that it's located on an island. Arkham will be a persistent location that the player is able to freely roam, including an area that serves as Batman's secret on-site Bat Cave. Arkham will make use of Batman's many gadgets to accomplish tasks and take down foes, such as using the grapple gun to get a better perspective on a particular area.[7]
