I always hear people say batman

Arkham city is the best batman game, which is understandable because it was epic. And I even hear people talk about arkham origins a lot because they thing it is horrible. But I never hear people talk about arkham asylum. I mean I enjoyed the story how joker was controlling the whole asylum and Harley quinn. Good boss battles etc. Its really overlooked in my opinion

AA was an amazing game, it often does get over looked.

So you mean to ask "Is Arkham Asylum underrated?" It definitely does get overlooked but I dunno it seems so small now that we have the massive follow ups to the game. If it were the one and only Batman game we had it should be considered a masterpiece but in context of what we have now I feel it gets as much recognition as it really deserves.

BAA was amazing I like it almost more then AC.

I liked Batman: Arkham Asylum more than either City or Origins. The former was just all over in terms of storyline, wasted an awesome version of Hugo Strange and generally felt like a half-assed effort, or at least, that Rocksteady weren't really trying with City. And the latter, well - I liked it more than City, and it actually made me feel like Batman, but I miss Asylum's claustrophobic atmosphere and haunting music (I hated how they Zimmer-fied it in City).

Plus, I liked the ability to pick up a dude and toss him at a group of his buddies. And speaking of combat, I loved how "realistic" Asylum's combat sounds were. When you punched someone, it actually sounded like punching, instead of someone slapping a pillow, like it did in City.

And quite frankly, Asylum still has the best boss fights. City only really had the Mr. Freeze fight and the Clayface fight as stand-outs, while Origins only had Firefly and, if we're counting the DLC, Mr. Freeze.

I don't think it is underrated, I think it got the recognition it deserved for the most part. And still does. I mean originally when it came out it got the recognition it needed and deserved. But when City came out or even when people found that secret room with the plans for Arkham City, I think we realized that Arkham Asylum was only the first piece of a much larger and more engrossing story Rocksteady planned to tell.

Arkham city is better than asylum and origins.

City is a bit overrated.

City > Origins > Asylum.

I probably need to play them over but I really enjoyed Origins and the atmosphere,but like the other guy said I believe it received a good enough recognition for what it was.

@theacidskull: the first gif wasnt good enough? Lol

Asylum was great and did some stuff better than City imo. The Killer Croc boss fight was awesome. City improved on just about everything else though.

My bad guys I meant arkham asylum lol

The Arkham games are OVERRATED, plain and simple

You seem to hate them a lot,I admit people exaggerate their truthfulness to the canon but they're still great games.

I don't hate them that much, they just pop up in forums so damn much and I comment on them a lot.

I hate that word so much. Judge it with your own individual opinion and merits rather than being a slave to the opinion of others.

Undertated?

Like undercooked tatertots?
