VGChartz writes: "Batman: Arkham Asylum is definitely the best Superhero game I have ever played. I am so happy to finally get to play a game where Batman is treated like Batman instead of just re-skinning a Double Dragon game with Batman and Robin. Even though the recently awarded Guinness World Record of Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever is obviously a marketing stunt, it certainly deserves the praise. The story was straight out of the cartoon (in a good way), the action is surprisingly deep and fun, and the audio was on point even if the visuals were a bit wanting. If you are a Batman fan, you owe it to yourself to play this game, and if you aren't then go play Superman 64 and think about the decisions you have made in your life."
