Here are some review scores and quotes for BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM, from press all over the world:



100 - Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
Yes, this is the Batman you've been waiting for...It's a wonderful experience, beginning to end, never taking the easy or familiar route, and infusing each shift of the story with original ideas that cut no corners. [Oct 2009, p.70]


100 - GameSpy
This action-adventure is so smart, so well-written, and delivered with such an obvious love for its source material, I daresay it is both the best licensed game ever made, and arguably the best game of its kind in our current console generation.

95 - Game Informer
Batman: Arkham Asylum is this year's "BioShock," not just from the connection established with the world, but from its ability to innovate where new ideas are needed, and moreover, deliver an adventure unlike any other. [Sept 2009, p.82]


93 - IGN
The greatest comic book videogame of all time. This is an adult Dark Knight story that is well-told, packs some truly fun gameplay elements, has topnotch voice talent, and feel like it's part of Batman cannon.

92 - PSM3 Magazine UK
An incredible adventure in an amazing setting. Only weak detective bits and boss battles let it down.

91 - 1UP
That's Batman's general theme: so many of the mechanics turn Batman: Arkham Asylum into a bona fide "Batman Simulator," that the feeling of being Batman compensates for its flaws.

90 - Playstation Official Magazine UK
The whole game is a class act. The fighting is sophisticated but arcade-addictive, the visuals are stylish, and the Lara-like exploration is smartly done. Plus the DC heritage feels all-encompassing like a big blanket. Arkham Asylum is comfortably the best comic book game that PlayStation's ever had, and is up there with the system's best actioners, full stop. [Sept 2009, p.95]


90 - GameTrailers
Though it'll take you in the neighborhood of 12 hours to play through, Arkham Asylum feels like it's over in a heartbeat. This is a testament to its magnificent pacing, and the care that went into making every moment feel important.

90 - GameSpot
Regardless of whether you're getting sucked into the Story mode or competing for high scores in the Challenge mode, Batman: Arkham Asylum does an outstanding job of letting you be Batman. Everything about this game--the impressive visuals, stirring soundtrack, superb voice acting, fiendish puzzles, hard-hitting combat--feels like it has been lovingly crafted by a development team that's both knowledgeable and passionate about the source material.

90 - GameDaily
The result is so good that we're declaring it an easy 'Best of' contender for 2009.

80 - GamePro
It's a triumph of mood and psychological tension, and devoted fans will find a great deal to excite them. But they're also bound to be disappointed by its reliance on repetitive combat and a shortage of villains worth the big man's attention.

80 - Total Video Games
It triumphs where most other superhero games and other types of licensed action games fail: it makes you feel like the lead character. It makes you feel like The Batman.

Unboxing the collector's edition : Unboxing the Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition

Honestly, quite disappointing.So not worth $100.

[SideSwipe]

it's $100??!!!

[solidsnake_devil]

Yep, says so in the vid.

[Still Ug Lee]

Its about AED 329 ($ 89) in Virgin Megastore.

But if you go to the Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Centre or Mercato Mall stores and switch on the Bluetooth on your phone, you get a special message which entitles you for AED 50 off the Collector's Edition.

This starts from tomorrow.

Muahahahahahahahaha!!!

[darthoz]

I'll decide when it comes out on PC.
