Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition - Xbox 360

Model: 1000150449
SKU: 9927328
UPC: 788687200929
SynopsisWhen Gotham's Caped Crusader clears the city's streets of the criminal collateral, the gritty Arkham Asylum grows a little more crowded. Here in Gotham's psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, dangerous figures from Batman's past reside, biding their time. And when Batman becomes trapped inside the walls of Arkham, the Joker and a host of other notorious villains aren't about to let him escape without a fight for his life. Batman: Arkham Asylum takes you inside the sinister confines of Arkham and gives you free rein to explore the infamous island for the first time. Assume the role of Batman, relying on your wits, strength and arsenal of gadgets to foil a demented scheme cooked up by the Joker. Cling to the shadows, employing the utmost stealth to help you hunt down Gotham's most notorious villains without being seen. The Game of the Year Edition features four extra challenge maps not included with the original release. An innovative new technology lets you explore the feared hospital and fight Gotham's greatest villains in 3D. Face off against an array of enemies, including Harley Quinn, Victor Zsasz and Killer Croc, and do your best to unlock the secrets that shadow Arkham — before you become the next victim.

What's great about it: Awesome game. Great Story line and gameplay.
What's not so great: Sadly no glasses. :[
I loved the game I played the first 2 story line achievements at my cousin's house but when I got the game my self... when I first opened it I was disappointed. I ordered the same copy he had ordered. The Game of The Year edition, under Platinum Hits. However I was very disappointed when mine didn't come with the 3D glasses and added game info he got. It would of been nice of them to put this in the Overview section as a heads up to people hoping to get the glasses as well that I'm guessing only half the people got.

My review has to do with this website.... My husband had rented this game to play it. After he had beaten it he was always saying he wish he had purchased it so he could play it again.. At Christmas time I looked for it for him. When I checked Best Buy.com not only did they have it in stock but with my other purchase I received free shipping. It arrived quickly and I am very satisfied with my experience..

What's great about it: great portrayal of batman and his abilities
What's not so great: no multiplayer
this is the first batman game released that actually has been able to make you really feel as if you are playing as batman. the story line is great along with the enemy encounters. the game does a great job at granting the players proper controlls and fullfilling the caped crusaders moves and abilities. there are plenty of gadgets including batarangs, zip line, grappling hooks and a device to hack/diable door control consoles so you can access certain areas.
there are also alot of items to unlock, mostly including character stautes to look at, along with information regarding characters.
ovrall the feel and look of the game is great, although in the end the game feels short and i was disappointed it was over and all the enemies were defeated, however once you beat the game you are free to explore the area and finish the riddler challanges.
overall teh game is great, and if you have been looking for a successfull attempt at a game putting you in control of batman this is the game you have been looking for.

What's great about it: Feels like your playing a comic book
What's not so great: It ends too soon
This is a great game. It feels like you are inside a Batman comic. The atmosphere is dark and gothic and tha character animation is awesome. Gameplay is a combination of fighting, strategy, stealth, and puzzle-solving. The best thing about this game is that if you like it, BAC is better. Bottom line: buy it, you won't be disappointed. Also, spend a few extra dollars and get GOY edition. It's worth it.

What's great about it: Just the best third person action game ever made.
What's not so great: If you really have anything to write here, it's probably not for you.
I remember when Arkham Asylum was coming out. I was excited as everyone else, but not sure just how good it was going to be. I thought it was just going to be another flop in the super hero genre. Well, I must have not been all there up stairs cause it was awesome. Excitement:5, Challenge:5 (if you play on Hard first like I did), Graphics:5 (probably the best looking third person game i've seen in a while) Length:5 (about 15+ hours, and that's not including the challenges and finishing up finding all the riddles and trophies.)
I caught onto this one quick from playing the previous one. I jumped into Hard mode like I did the first time, only this time a bit easier due to playing it before. I'm not your average game player who loves first person shooters, I prefer third person and i'm not the best at playing games on Hard, but there's something about this game and the freeflow combat system that makes you an elite gamer when playing on Hard, no matter your skill level. I started off the first one a button masher, and that will get you into trouble. Once I relaxed and hit one button at a time, like strike, or counter, etc. This game started to get pretty easy on Hard most of the time. After a some armor upgrades and playing some of the challenges, i've realized this is the best combat system in any third person action game i've ever played. So addicting, I found myself wanting more. Like most games on Hard, I'd want to run or not fight. This game changed that.
If you played the first and know what i'm talking about, then get it if you want to enjoy it again, or get another 1000gs. If you've never played this game and have thought about picking it up, then do so. 50$ is a steal for this game with all the maps that I had to get extra with the first one. It also has the option of playing it in 3D, and you can turn that off anytime during the game if you get tired of wearing the glasses. But the game still looks amazing with or without them. So please, do yourself a favor and pick this up. Lay explosive gel, throw remote controlled batarangs, grapple enemies over a ledge, or sneak up behind em' for the quiet kill. Your choice. Batman AA GOTYE puts the tools in your hands as you progress through this amazing game. Can't wait for AA 2 due out early 2011.
I would recommend this to a friend!
