Batman: Arkham Asylum returns with a Game of the Year Edition.

Xbox Review by Rogue Rafen for Batman Arkham Asylum: Game of the Year
Rating:
I played this to completion when it first came out, but didn’t own the game. I picked up a copy of the GotY edition today because I wanted to play through on a harder difficulty, and also the challenge modes are the kind of thing it’s fun to come back to every once in a while for 15 minutes of fun (which can easily turn into 2 hours).
This is an awesome game and I can’t recommend it enough for people who haven’t played it.
A couple gripes about the GotY edition:
* My saves and progress from the original version are not compatible. I’m guessing this means that the leaderboards for the challenge modes will also be separate. This is a big disappointment, as I won’t be able to compete against my friends who have the original version.
* The 3D is a cool gimmick, but not quite cool enough for me to want to play the whole game that way. I turned it off after about 30 minutes.
Again, I highly recommend this game if you don’t own the original, but can’t say it’s worth picking up if you already have Arkham Asylum.

So, I debated between buying this version and the collector’s edition. This is the edition I chose because I read a line that said Joker is a playable character…it said this even for this 360 version of the game. I probably should have done more research, but no Joker is not. Joker is only for PS3, sadly. I was very disappointed to find I had kind of been duped by Amazon’s general explanation of the game.
That being said, I did enjoy the game. It was, to be frank, fantastic. Wonderful graphics, smooth gameplay, and multiple levels, made this game very addicting. I look forward to the sequel and hope that Joker (or something of equal value) will be given to 360 owners.
Also, *DO NOT* just buy this game for the 3D. It uses green-red lenses and actually made me sick. The game looks okay, but not exactly the best with 3D. This game was still VERY fun. I highly recommend it.
