A Batman game like never before. Fans will feel like they're dreaming, whereas everyone else has an incredibly large and in-depth world to enjoy and engage with. It doesn't get much better. [Issue#78, p.80]
It's the best treatment of a comic book character outside of graphic novels ever. It's the best Action Adventure/Open World game ever. It's the best game I've played this year. And finally, it's the best superhero game you've ever played.

Batman: Arkham City isn't just a game; it's a magnum opus that redefined what players could expect from a superhero video game. Its flawless combat, immersive open-world design, compelling narrative, and dedication to the source material make it a timeless masterpiece. Arkham City is not just one of the best games ever; it's a testament to the potential of the medium to create truly unforgettable and transformative experiences.

As someone who doesn't really enjoy Superhero games, Arkham City and I hit it off from the word go, as I was pulled into the story and role of a crime fighting genius.
Arkham City does what everyone hoped it would yet feared it couldn't; expand and improve on Arkham Asylum. Indeed, Arkham City is a bigger and better game in all regards, delivering an immaculately presented, rich, compelling play experience and gripping story while simultaneously respecting its source material's legacy and pushing the Batman myth further forward.
Arkham City and The Dark Knight (film) have something much more important in common: They're so sublime, they render their predecessors nearly forgettable by comparison.
Arkham City is a display of power. Its predecessor was one of the best licensed games ever, but it's as if Rocksteady has found another gear, just as we thought they were already running at top speed. It's an amazing game, and one of the greatest releases this year.
Even if there is still some reason to quibble here and there, Arkham City is undoubtedly the result of which we dreamed, rich and surprising in many ways. A feat which makes it a must-see title of 2011.
Obra prima.

Holy crap is this game's story massively overhyped. Anything interesting about it (Hugo Strange and the opening sequence) gets immediately sidelined in favor **** fetch quest for a plastic bottle. To its credit however the ending sequence is pretty good, its only a shame the game wastes your time and a great character (Hugo) while getting there.
Arkham Knight does everything this game does but better.... Batmobile included

This game is a joke, I can complete it within 10 minutes and the story line isn't even that good. If you want to play a game for BEGINNGERS and KIDS play this game, but for SERIOUS GAMERS this isn't even worth the time. Don't waste the time on it unless you're either a kid or a beginner to gaming.
