 So on Saturday I picked up Batman Arkham Asylum and well yeh. Maybe i'm the only person in the world who things this but has anyone actully found it as good as the reviews say it is. I mean don't get me wrong , its not a bad game at all but calling it best superhero game or game of 09? For me Batman was a average kind of superhero game just a little bit above the Wolverine game that came out early in the year.
 
 The Combat is good but then again its basic there nothing amazing about it , its what you would expect. Boss fights are pretty bad, they use the titan mutants about 4 or 5 times and Bane is no different to them, Finally the last fight doesn't really bring that kind of epic final boss feel. Killer Croc was by far the most fun even thought it wasn't really a fight, more like run for life. But even then some villans don't even equal to a fight in the end. Scarecrow levels were great and they just come out of no where the way that was done was really good but then nothing really becomes of it in the end and epic fight between him and yourself never happens. The same goes for Harley Quinn, It a cutscreen of batman pretty much one shotting her and its over. 
 
The voice acting on the other hand i give a big thumbs up for, obscure people like guard 1 or 10 you meet isn't really all the that impressive the Villans and Batman are great. Also if you ever wondered why The Joker is such a big villan as he is play this game , he is a a totally nutcase. dialog between him and Batman is really good. The  Riddler (note you never actully meet in person ,sigh ) also has some pretty epic lines of dialog.
 
I think I most of clocked about 5 or 6 hours when i beat the game so it wasn't a long game and it does have it problems, Imo if your thinking about buying it then rent it first , you most likely be able to fin it in that time also. I might do a review for it at some point but for know this is what i think of Batman Arkham Asylum
