Stealth Combat at its Absolute Best
The gaming world was a different place before Arkham Asylum. Until Batman Arkham Asylum arrived, we didn’t know just how badly we had been missing a game that could make you feel like billy big bollocks and boy did it deliver. Indeed, this style of combat system has become the norm for 3rd person melee combat RPGs. In my eyes, the combat is what makes this game. Its freeflow design is so tactile, responsive and has fantastic, bone crunching feedback that it feels unbelievably satisfying. With such a simple set of inputs (at least initially), the game encourages you to perfect timings and combos rather than simple button mashing. The combat system is so well honed and refined that by the end of the game, a skilled player can launch feet first into a large group of henchmen and seamlessly take every last man down with well over 10 distinctly different moves, all tied together into a 50 move combo without ever taking a single hit. The end result is simply stunning to watch and pure joy incarnate to execute yourself. To top it off, the skill balance is just about perfect as to do something like this is neither unrewardingly simplistic nor frustratingly impossible. But Batman is so much more than the combat even though the game could probably stand up on its jaw crunching merits alone. The other set of mechanics that play so perfectly into the theme and gameplay of Arkham Asylum is the Batman’s ability for stealth and this really does enable you to approach situations in a variety of ways and is particularly great at enabling the Batman to take down enemies unawares or launch into combat with the element of surprise at hand. Combine these skills with the combat and here you have the perfect marriage of mechanics that makes you feel like the Batman. That feeling of swinging from gargoyle to gargoyle before gliding down, batcape unfurled, onto a completely unsuspecting group of goons and perfectly beating them up in a flawless combo is quite simply, unmatched.
