Batman: Arkham Asylum - Game of the Year Edition

The Good
The combat was just wonderful. There was nothing like it. There's nothing like it now. Pretty much everyone copied Rocksteady's combat system because it was so well done. You feel like Batman. You'll actually engage with enemies, sometimes even 5-10 at a time. What's more Batman than that?

Also, the game's a love letter to comic book nerds. There's villains, riddles and easter eggs everywhere. The story is absolutely amazing, and Hamill's Joker is insane as usual.

The Bad
The only way you'll find something bad about this one is if you compare it to the later installments, and that is not fair. This is a perfect game. The only gripe I have is that there's a separate launcher for graphics settings, so you have to exit the game to tweak them. A small bump.

The Bottom Line
There's no such thing as a perfect game, but this is as close as it's going to get. It is an extremely well-designed, well-polished game that all Batman fans should play, if they haven't already.
