In an uncharacteristically positive review, Yahtzee dispenses the usual accolades for this well-received title, then notes that accolades aren’t the reason you watch his show. He then puts on his reviewer trousers and gets critical, gripey, and pedantic — just the way we like it.

I was skeptical about Arkham Asylum; it looked clunky to me at E3. But I have to accept that almost no one has given it anything less than an excellent score, so I guess it’s time for me to shut up, pay up, and Batman up.
