Arkham Asylum

I managed to finish Batman Arkham Asylum last night and have to say, very impressed with this game. The production value is so good and it’s nice to see a studio put all they can into a game. While it is single player only and not the longest story with all the things you can do in the game it was very enjoyable. One of the best features of the game is the side exploration that the Riddler lets you do. Figuring out his riddles, collecting all the collectibles usually this shit is a pain in the ass but they did such a great job with it I found finding them all almost as fun as the main gameplay. You can get help completing all the riddles right here. Another bright spot of the game is the combat. Taking on 8 guys is not only fun but makes you feel powerful. Batman has a simple block to attack move you can do whenever someone throws a punch hat is extremely seamless and allows you to build combos while not even getting hit by all these assailants. On top of all this there is a secondary game mode called Challenges that let you compete on Leaderboards against your friends for score and time completed. You unlock these by completing the Riddles. If you get this on XBox they include a free Challenges map but if you get it on PS3 you get to use the Joker in the challenges! Finally PS3 does something cool. Anyways, even if you think single player games are a waste of money this is one game worth at least playing through.
