Batman is bringing Joker back to Arkham Aylum again. But this time it's different, there was a blackout at Blackgate prison and all of Jokers goons and anyone else at the prison have been moved to Arkham. Joker and his girlfriend Harley Quinn have taken control of Arkham Island and are letting all the insane inmates and super villains out. Now Batman must stop joker and put all the prisoners back in their cells.
The fighting style is easy to learn you only start off having to use 3 buttons to fight and the freeflow combat makes it easy to jump from one bad guy to the next in one combo. Gadgets can also help you fight like the batarang or batclaw. Gadgets, upgrades, and new combos can be earned through the game by earning points in fighting. Getting around isn't as easy. The area is usually dark so it's hard to see but Detective mode does help you see some of the things you never saw before by highlighting things like gargoyles or show you a clue to your next objective. And here's a hint if you're ever stuck and don't know where to go check all your gadgets or look up for an air duct or a gargoyle.
The island is very old looking and very detailed and well designed. The Rddler is setting up challenges for you, whether it be one of his clues like a picture of Penguin, or one of the Riddlers trophies which are green question marks on a small platform. You should always look around for the Riddlers clues and trophies.
All characters are well designed to from Batman to the henchman all are very well detailed. Although there was not a wide variety of henchmen and most looked and sounded the same. But the voice actors are all great choices like Harley Quinn, Batman and my favorite The Joker who was played by no one other than Mark Hamill a.k.a. Luke Skywalker.
Overall the game was very good, and was even named Game of the Year in 2009. There is plenty of free DLC's including the play as The Joker add-on exclusively for PlayStation Network. I rate this game a 4.5 out of 5.
