For that reason alone, the PC version is genuinely worthy of the very same score. We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again - truly this is the Batman game that everyone has been waiting for.

Exclusively to the Playstation 3 are Joker challenge maps where you get to play as the fiendish villain himself. These aren’t just the same challenge maps with a Joker skin, the Joker plays completely differently from the Dark Knight and has his own little gadgets as well. You’re going to tackle the same maps in a completely different way when you play as the Joker since you don’t have all the fancy equipment you were spoiled with as Batman. These maps are much harder considering that Joker’s health is the same as the orginal health bar you started the story mode with so no matter how much health upgrades you purchase Joker’s health isn’t going to raise. Joker also only has 3 gadgets to play with. The first is his pair of x-ray specs that allow you to see through the walls just like Batman’s detective vision but you can’t move while wearing them. Remember those chattering teeth you found all over Arkham during your playthrough? Well now you get to use remote controlled exploding chattering teeth as Joker. Finally you’re given a gun that can kill anybody with a single shot but the catch is that you only get one bullet. These maps will challenge you since you’re limited to standing still to use your x-ray specs and you can no longer grapple away when you’re seen. This time you’re going to have to run away and hide the old fashioned way and completely rethink how you tackle the stealth challenges. In the brawl challenges Joker’s moves are completely changed from Batman’s. While Batman kicked and punched all the goons with ninja-like reflexes the Joker uses high kicks and bitch slaps to take the the guards including Gordon. While Batman jumped over enemies the Joker will do a brilliant leapfrog over them, and not to mention the Joker has added dialog during these segments which make the experience all the more satisfying. There’s nothing better than laying your pimp hand upon Gordon’s face. Oh yea, did I mention that it’s free?","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F2009\u002F10\u002Fbatman-arkham-asylum-review\u002F","2009-10-16",100,{"id":132,"author":133,"outlet":136,"summary":141,"review_url":142,"review_date":143,"original_score":144,"normalized_score":145},104911,{"id":134,"name":135},5624,"Kyle Hilliard",{"id":137,"logo":138,"name":139,"website_url":140,"score_format":51},141,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","The Arkham series has earned the prestige of being a fantastic and consistent video game franchise without any licensed game asterisks.
