Is it still worth playing?

Rocksteady Studios' 2009 third person action adventure for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, later for Windows, and the start of the Batman: Arkham series. The Joker takes control of Arkham Asylum, off the coast of Gotham, and threatens the city with hidden bombs. Being Batman comes in three parts: chained combat, stealth takedowns with gadgets, and Detective Vision, which highlights clues. The story takes about 12 hours, and 240 collectible items are hidden around the asylum. Its script is by Paul Dini, and most of the voice cast of the animated series returns. Fighting, gadgets and character joined into one game about being Batman still make it play well today.
