This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Batman as he fights his way through Arkham Asylum. Players traverse through an island location battling enemies, examining crime scenes, and rescuing hostages. Players use punches, kicks, and various gadgets (e.g., batarang, batclaw, explosive gel) to defeat thugs and villains. Some attacks are enhanced with special effects (e.g., slow-motion and close-up attacks). Players can also employ stealth takedowns to incapacitate enemies. During the course of the game, players sometimes come across characters being harmed by villains (e.g., thugs beating up a doctor; a man with a knife held to his throat; a guard thrown into an electrified pool of water). There are also occasional depictions of unconscious/dead characters on the asylum floors; streaks/pools of blood may appear near these bodies. The game includes some suggestive material: two female characters wearing provocative outfits that expose deep cleavage and/or partial buttocks; a character that moans suggestively when she is in peril. Players are occasionally required to identify and track traces of whiskey/tobacco during missions. The words “b*tch” and “a*s” are heard in the dialogue.
