The GameRevolution Batman: Arkham Asylumreview awarded the game a score of iv.5/five, with the positives including: "great plot," "Batman done right, finally," "fantastic graphic symbol pattern," and "gorgeous graphics."

Here's a snippet from the GR review:

With all the pretty wrappings, BATMAN: ARKHAM Asylum is an action brawler with some covert combat gameplay that Solid Serpent would enjoy. Batman is a trained martial artist and certified weapon of mass destruction, and this is the offset game where yous really feel that. Though there should accept been a few more ways to take downwards foes silently, taking on x guys at once is an acrobatic breeze when y'all get the combo organisation down. Pay attention to the guys with the guns, all the same, as even the Batman isn't bulletproof. Combat becomes a ballet of disarming and disabling the inmates in some of the most fluid combat seen in video games. Once more, in a nod to the Batfans, the Batman DOES Not Kill.

With fantastic voice acting, gorgeous graphics, and a well-written plot, what else could you lot want from a game? Keen for hardcore Batmaniacs besides as gamers looking for a solid activeness/adventure game, I'm happy to declare BATMAN: ARKHAM Aviary every bit the best Batman game ever.
