    I'm definitely getting this game for my PS3! Hopefully, this will be a game worthy of the Dark Knight franchise!

    I was ignoring this game ever since it was announced because of the fact that most comic book-based games tend to be forgettable.

    However, after having received very good reviews, I got curious. I had to experience it myself. Downloaded the demo, thought it was good and bought the game a few days ago.

    After playing a few hours, I can say that it does deserve the good reviews. If you want to be Batman, then play this game. I really like the Scarecrow bits. Really scared me even though I sort of know whats coming (thanks to reading too many reviews). Also a lot of fan service to Batfans.

    If you're a Batfan and videogame fan, buy this game. It's been a terribly long time but finally a game that let's you BE the Dark Knight is here.

    Here is a compilation of Batman Arkham Asylum reviews over the net:

    Joystiq

    Ars Technica

    GameSpot

    IGN

    BTW, Akrham Asylum just won the Guinness Book of World Records for the Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever

    Interestingly, since this game is also available on the Xbox 360, store shelves as of last week were already empty on the PS3 version. The 360 version had a few left back then.

    Finished the game. It's really good. I think I might go back just to finish the Riddler's challenges. Hope they do a sequel for this one soon that's just as good or hopefully better.

    This game is so good! Don't forget to watch the features/trailers included on the disk via the Videos section of the XMB.

    I agree w/ NetSkipper that games based on comic books & not to mention movie tie-ins tend to be forgettable, but judging from the reviews, this seems to be a winner. I'm definitely getting this one.

    I also ignored it before thinking that it was just going to be another failed superhero game.

    I'll start saving money now.
