100This action-adventure is so smart, so well-written, and delivered with such an obvious love for its source material, I daresay it is both the best licensed game ever made, and arguably the best game of its kind in our current console generation.

100It's excellent in nearly every aspect, and certainly one of the best games you'll play this year, let alone the best licensed game I've ever played (sorry Riddick). If you've been on the fence about this one, I highly suggest you pick it up, there's nothing here that'll disappoint, and like I mentioned, the gameplay is so great that you don't need to be a Batman fan to appreciate how great the gameplay is.

The game also feels decidedly adult; it's unafraid to take dark turns. The writing and themes become unexpectedly morbid in later stages. It's obvious that Arkham was created with reverence, genuine craft, and love. There's a rare, considered quality behind everything on the disc, which makes this an absolute must-play.
