Batman: Arkham Asylum

With Batman in the Arkham Island setting at its centre, Batman: Arkham Asylum takes the form of an action game, and the central loop is organised around Freeflow combat system. Most objectives depend on Freeflow combat system, gadget-based exploration, and Predator stealth rooms, so success depends on timing as much as aggression.

Edition comparisons should test gadget-based exploration and Predator stealth rooms, including their effect on readability and difficulty. Ongoing records should prioritise the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC versions and Detective Mode investigation where platform-specific behaviour differs.
