Short clip of when I earned the Platinum Trophy in Batman: Arkham Asylum on Playstation 3. Read more...

I saved a simple trophy (World's Greatest Detective; where you must "Spirit of Amadeus Arkham revealed.") for last so I could record it on my iPhone.

I don't know what took me so long to play this game. I should have done so much sooner than I did. This game was fantastic! The story was great and the gameplay was very smooth. The combat system was very difficult to "master" however, which is why I rated this so high on the difficulty. The collectibles were a bit annoying because, as seems to be the case with many games, you have to backtrack to get items that required an upgrade or special piece of equipment to get; some of them were quite tricky to track down as well.

The challenge mode was the most frustrating of all. I didn't find the combat challenges to be all that difficult to be honest. I struggled with them mostly due to the convoluted button layout and complexity of the controls. I kept getting the buttons confused For instance, I repeatedly hit :circle: for countering (probably due to AC games) and forgot to double-press :cross: and :r2: for their respective moves. I also struggled when I got hit. I would be on a nice roll and stringing together a good combo and get caught with a club to the face or bs punch. At that point, I would lose my focus and struggle to get back into a rhythm. The predator challenges were fun but a little tricky to figure out the actual requirements since I didn't use many of those moves in the story or other modes.

Overall this was a challenging but really fun game.

Platinum Difficulty: 7/10
Overall Enjoyment: 8/10
