Batman: Arkham Asylum is a great game, I'll just start with that. If you haven't played it yet, then you need to go out and buy it. It has a great story as well as great gameplay. If you enjoy Assassin's Creed games, then you'll love this game. It has the same core mechanics as Assassin's Creed, but I think it's a bit harder. All the way through the game, you have to think, because The Riddler gives you these hard to solve riddles, as he usually does, and you have to figure them out. Basically, you start out at arkham asylum when The Joker is caught, but Batman believes that the Joker wanted to get himself caught as part of a plan, so Batman accompanies Joker. Harley Quinn takes control of the security and Commissioner Gordon is kidnapped. Joker escapes into the facility and then you take over. Arkham Asylum only has 8 hours of gameplay if you only play the main storyline, but if you do all the side missions and the riddles, then you can get maybe 30+ hours. For a 2009 game, it has amazing graphics, probably because the game is so much smaller than the other Batman games. Arkham Asylum doesn't really help you out with what you're supposed to do, other than maybe a few hints, so you really have to stay focused while playing this game. Overall, I would give Arkham Asylum a 9/10. It would be a 10/10 but the combat system can really screw you over in some cases.
