Description
Once again, Batman has captured and returned the Joker to Arkham Asylum. Unfortunately, the inmates have taken over and the Joker is now running the show. Play as the Caped Crusader, navigating in a 3rd person style through the grounds and collective wings of Arkham Asylum; super prison and rehabilitation center for Gotham’s most hardened criminals.
Using a combination of stealth, detective work, and exciting combat elements, proceed toward your ultimate goal of apprehending the maniacal Joker. On the way, you’ll encounter some of Batman’s deadliest foes. Fortunately, you’re not entirely alone, as Batman will receive assistance from the surviving guards, and information from the computer genius Oracle.
Make use of the grappling hook, Batarangs, explosive gel, zipline, electronically-assisted vision, and more. During your search, you will gain experience points from defeating opponents, finding hidden items, or accomplishing special tasks. Once you “level up” you are able to purchase/upgrade an ability or feature of Batman’s arsenal. The game features a controllable camera viewpoint, and optional first person view for viewing things up close.
Strewn about the grounds of the Asylum are 240 “riddles” for you to solve, courtesy of the Riddler, and a variety of achievements/trophies to unlock, depending on your gaming platform.
