Review: Batman Arkham Asylum | GamesAreEvil.com

GrE writes, "Developing a good quality game based around a comic book hero is notoriously difficult to achieve. There have been plenty of attempts over the years, such as the recent Superman Returns game and various X-Men titles, but they either don't quite hit the spot, or worst yet, show a callous disregard for the source material they are drawing inspiration from.

Most recently, Wolverine managed to nearly achieve comic book game greatness with an enjoyable and violent hack-n-slash affair. Unfortunately, it still didn't really pay enough homage to its origins and everything just felt a little bit, dare I say, shallow. So despite being hugely excited by the promise that Batman: Arkham Asylum was showing in various previews, I was a little concerned that it wouldn't keep to its solemn promises of becoming the definitive Batman title. Boy was I wrong! Instead I was fortunate enough to play the best game of the year so far..."

Game of the Year? Certainly is so far!

Nitrowolf25370d ago

mybe a contender since its great for a super hero game, but there are far more better game that will win it instead.

Haly5370d ago

It was more a comment on it being Game of the Year so far which I think it is, rather than it remaining so by the end of the year. It'd be daft to call any game the Game of the Year full stop with the Autumn releases left to go :)

roblef5370d ago

This looks like a game I'll actually finish.

wondroushippo5370d ago

This sounds like the perfect Batman title.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia673d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest673d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2673d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
