After playing Batman arkham asylum, i didnt know where the game could go and how it could be improved. But as soon as started playing Batman arkham city, it was clear that this game was much more advanced in many ways, including combinations, weapons, graphics and the overall feel to the gameplay including side missions. Even after finishing the game, it is not over, there is a plus game to do which is harder and also playing the game as catwoman which was a good twist to the game
I would definately reccomend this game to any player who enjoys skillful and at times very difficult gameplay. Hopefully a 3rd game ...
to the bad reviewer you have totally got this game all wrong , one the gliding is not meant to be easy , batman in comics , movies does not fight one person at a time , the game is for those that know about batman as for the voice kevin conroy has been doing the voice for a long time way before bale . i here there is lego batman maybe those that find this game too hard can go to that ! The story line is gripping so much to do with side missions and finding riddles makes this a long and entertaining game , catwoman was a nice touch . not to much play time which suits most fine
Picking up a few months after the original title former Arkham Asylum warden Hugo Strange now reigns over a territory within Gotham known as Arkham City. Unfortunately criminals and super villains have been allowed to run free and so it is up to Batman to step in and take control. Arkham Asylum took many people by surprise and fans of the first game will be immediately at home here. Rocksteady have retained the core gameplay that was so successful. Combat remains fast and fluid and with a wealth of new counters, some of which allow you to take on multiple enemies at once, as well greater variety of enemy types there is now far more diversity between different bouts.
The much hyped 'open world' acts more like a hub between different locations than a true open world like Liberty City but is for the most part a welcome addition. Side missions pop-up and can be accessed at any time and while the main campaign can be completed in well under eight hours these will keep you going for a far while longer. One minor criticism of the more open world is that the game does not always make it clear exactly how you are supposed to access certain areas which can lead to some frustrating back tracking at times.
Outside the main game the challenge maps also return offering the chance to earn medals and a place on the Xbox Live leaderboards and this all makes Arkham City a thoroughly enjoyable return to the world of Batman even if it is not the revolution that the original was.
