I've been waiting for this review. Rented the game last weekend so I could view it with both worlds. Apparently we have the same gripes over the game.

Oh, and to answer your riddle at the end of the credits, they use a blacklight.

The Bat-vision was classic. I wish Yahtzee had commented on Batman's muscles and overall size. It felt like they stole his 3D model from a Madden game.
Glad to see a Yahtzee liked it though. ZP's approval is the ultimate prize a game can get and only few titles like Psychonauts, Portal, Thief 2 or Painkiller have earned it.
What about games like HAWX, Bioshock, arguably Trine, and a good few others I can't name at this second?

Its a nice game that's to easy and everything feels automated to the point you can play it with one hand.

a bit disappointing to be honest really... not much fun watching yahtzee review a good game. Now dont get me wrong, it was a good review, but you cannot honestly believe anybody watches ZP because they actually care what yahtzee thinks? It's all about the dick jokes, which this review was severely lacking. I'd no sooner buy a games based of a ZP review than i would based of an IGN review. For very different reasons of course, but yahtzee takes the piss out of games because its funny, and very often just for the sake of doing it. i expected more than a couple of complaints about absolutely inconsequential gameplay elements.

that said, I eagerly await the next one.
Not me... the reason I find his reviews so funny is that pretty much what he says is true.

Watching someone call something a heap of crap when it isn't is boring and needs no talent - there are plenty of people out there who do that and it gets old fast unless you have the mentality of a 12 year old.

I quite liked this game as well, but it does appears there's a vocal load of people yelling about how they didn't.

I'm really glad Yahtzee liked this game. I remember a new user on the Escapist once said that "Batman Arkham Asylum is just a casual game disguised as a hardcore game" (those might not have been his exact words but, that's pretty close to what he said) then he went on to praise Portal, Call of Duty 4, Saints Row 2 and some other games that Yahtzee praised in his reviews and then he went on to make some more of those annoying Halo bashing threads (he was a total Yahtzee fanboy). Nothing like that sweet smug feeling you get when someone who you don't like makes an ass of himself!

Batman Arkham Asylum looks great. The one thing that looks awkward in the game is how much space Batman take up on the screen. It's as if the developers were afraid that the graphics were horrible and they wanted to hide them. But, this game looks great and I'll definitely be picking this one up!

fair enough, but i mostly just watch this for the dick jokes... im not saying he should bash it just for the sake of bashing it... just more dick jokes is all... i like dick jokes, they make me smile :)

I know this will make me look like a nerdy wimp but...

The part where batman swoops down onto a mother kitten made me both cry from laughter and cry from sadness.

yahtzee is a genius and this is one more of his great videos
he does have some genius Reviews but at one point they were missing that oomph they had before. I bought call of juarez because he said its fairly good and he was right about everything....Including the no CO-OP thing. what were they thinking. I might have to go get AA now >.>
