When I was a child I was exploring foreign comix world - at some stage he made for me with a few heroes of Superman and Batman at the forefront. However, this is not the first title, which I've given any more sympathy, on the contrary. By contrast, Batman- the man bat was much easier to identify. And so somehow I like it very simply is that the fight against criminals in the first instance this involved the "muscle" between the ears, and then the other. Action under cover of night, dozens of gadgets, and finesse tactics jam detective - in this I play.

And if playing on the question, Batman never get its reputation as decent video game. Until now. It is based on my intensive investigations, based on the beta test, concluded - cut a real surprise: practically unknown team Rocksteady Studios, the place of his game shares little popular in the Batman universe, a hospital psychiatric and based on a purely comic license. What's in that the text will try to prove it. Arkham Asylum know the title in quite unusual circumstances. But after the attack on the prison Blackgate comes here pretty much a group of inmates temporarily deprived of a roof over his head. Including the most serious. And from the next formal arrest starts the whole adventure - in lands Arkham the Joker himself. Batman: Arkham Asylum belong to the elite circle of games that can already display the same title. Before you hit the button "start" we see our hero - majestically, with passion, in the rain, in the light of the full moon - looking from the roof of a building on the city. Until stupid press "start". Start. You can see that the authors know what's going on - the initial film moves us to strugami water flooded the streets through Batmobile. The climate in the Burton films and animated series outstanding at the beginning of the nineties.

We do not know the details arrest joker except it went too smoothly. Batmobile arrives at the place - going to ARKHAM where Joker, I pray for mutton Doctor Hannibal Lecter, is transported to his cell. At this point, gain control of the Batman, but we can only toddle it - seeing the action from the perspective of a third person, in the style of Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space. This fragment is known from many other games (starting at the head of the drive train in Half-Life) treatment, which is commonly called the "calm before the storm" - we feel that something is cut.
