The game is the start to a series of games, with the last insatlment taking place next year (Batman: Arkham Knight) and it just is so wonderfully dark and twisted.
The game is entirely set in Arkham Asylum, crossing between the many buildings and exploring the whole Arkham Island. To give a brief idea of the story, Joker has escaped after being brought back by Batman (that same night.) With the help of inmates, he is seeking the TITAN formula, which had been developed secretly with his funding by Dr. Penelope Young.
Batman has to stop Joker as well as solve the many puzzles that Riddler has set around the island for his own amusement.
The game has brillaint graphics and the most beautiful boss battle to ever grace the gaming world (my opinion with Titan Ivy.) The soundtrack is perfectly fitted to each section and has just the right amount of horror to already make Killer Croc's lair, turn into a house on Nightmares.
The games also has DLC, which allows players to play as the "Clown, prince of Crime" as well as have a host of other game maps, which can be uploaded online for a leaderboard system.
If I had to choose a favourite character I would have to pick Harley Quinn, who is just stunning in how she treats the Asylum like her own personal gynasium.
Well worth playing, then again... I would say that about the entire series as a whole.
