Usually I’m not so impressed by movie tie-ins, nay, I think most of the times video games based on movies are awful. Consider also that Batman has never been one of my favourite characters so my expectations on Batman Arkham Asylum were quite low. However I found the game interesting and I noticed a lot of similarities with a game I loved when I fist played it last year, Fist of the North Star – Ken’s Rage for PS3. The game mechanics especially during the fights are almost the same so this game has been a pleasant discovery and a title not so hard to play and entertaining, although not my genre of choice.
