In Batman: Arkham Asylum players strap on the gadget-heavy utility belt of
the Caped Crusader. Gameplay here is a combination of both the knuckle crunching
rush of hand to hand combat as you take on the hordes of thugs that infest
Arkham Asylum, and stealth gameplay in which you must dispatch individuals from
the shadows.
Players can expect an engrossing single player campaign in which Batman
continually moves forward to face the henchmen, bosses and traps that The Joker
has set for him. With regards to opponents, in addition to The Joker who you
will hear more than you see, the dark walls of Arkham also hold familiar
villains from the the Batman criminal universe including Harley Quinn, Victor
Zsasz and Killer Croc, that you will have to deal with, but don't expect a
one-dimensional experience.
As players progress from environment to environment within Arkham they will
have to use varying combinations of muscle, detective skills, gadgetry and a
certain degree of light RPG-like leveling of Batman's skills, arsenal and
physical characteristics to survive and discover what The Joker's underlying
scheme is.
