About this game

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a third-person action game set in Gotham City’s infamous psychiatric facility for criminals, Arkham Asylum.

The story begins with Batman escorting the Joker back to the institution after his latest capture, only for the Clown Prince of Crime to escape and orchestrate a takeover of the asylum with the help of its inmates.

Trapped inside, Batman must restore order, stop the Joker’s plans, and face some of his most dangerous adversaries, including Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow.

Gameplay blends exploration, stealth, detective work, and free-flowing combat.

Players guide Batman across the asylum’s interconnected areas - ranging from cell blocks and medical wings to underground caverns - using acrobatics, gadgets, and detective skills to progress.

Combat is based on a rhythmic counter-and-strike system, encouraging fluid chains of attacks against multiple enemies at once.

Stealth segments allow Batman to stalk guards from the shadows, using vents, gargoyles, and line-of-sight tricks to silently eliminate threats.

Detective vision highlights objects of interest, interactive clues, and enemy awareness, helping players plan their approach.

Progression comes through an upgrade system, where experience earned in combat or exploration can unlock new moves, increased health, or enhanced gadget capabilities.

Batman’s arsenal includes staples like the grappling hook, Batarangs, explosive gel, and zipline, each of which expands traversal and puzzle-solving options.

The asylum itself is packed with secrets, including 240 "riddles" (hidden trophies and challenges) left behind by the Riddler, environmental puzzles, and lore entries that expand Gotham’s backstory.

Bonus modes outside the story campaign provide timed combat and stealth challenges for players to master.

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2010.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
