Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum the 4th time. Two times on 360, once when it still was GFWL on PC and now as Steamworks version. This is my second time getting all achievements as well (making it my perfect game
#11). Missed a few in my GFWL playthrough.
I think this game is seriously up there with my top 5 games of all time. Even now when I'm pretty much completely familiar with the game I didn't have a boring moment playing it. Something about the gameplay just appeals to me. I'm one of those sick bastards who like Assassin's Creed -like counter-based fighting mechanics. The "predator" parts are so much fun too. Hunting down bad guys using everything in your arsenal just works. You really feel like you're the predator and the hechmen are the prey. The whole world is so lovingly put together. References are out of control. Perfect pacing. Not too short and not too long. Just the right difficulty too. Fitting and memorable music.
THAT SAID now I can see beyond the good parts in this product. They designed the game in a way that you are tempted to use "detective mode" (adds kind of filter in your view that lets you see items of importance and turns everything blueish) all the time. That makes you miss a lot of gorgeous environment art. That's the only downside I can find with this game. So yeah if you haven't played it then I recommend you do it now. You owe yourself that.
