Arkham Asylum, I rate thee Awesome. I'm a huge Marvel guy, which is why I died a little when the big D bought them, but I've always been a Batsy fan, and this game doesn't disappoint.
Mostly.
The only real issues I have are the difficulty and the stealth aspect. As in, non-existent. Batman is a bad-ass, and this game definitely conveys it. but it seems like it does so by making the bad guys fairly weak. Even on Hard difficulty it's not that hard. The stealth aspect is pretty much not there. Batman could have really used a Splinter Cell treatment but he didn't get it. The idea of hiding in shadows just like he does in the comics is absent and would have been really fun.
All in all it's a great game despite it's warts. I hope the sequel, you know there will be one, is at least as fun, if not better. ;) I highly recommend it to anyone, comic fan or not.
