A little over two years ago, a game by the name of Batman Arkham Asylum was released. Not only was it released, it was surprisingly a very good game. It was a revelation to everyone that licensed video games, and those based on super heroes can be great games too. The polish and attention to detail to this game left everyone wanting more. On October 18th, 2011 we all got more, and it was good.

Batman Arkham City picks up right where the previous title left off in both gameplay and storytelling. BAC brings to life the blue prints that were laid out in the prequel via an Easter egg, which I am not proud to say, I did not find.

To me, BAC delivers in a big way. It allows you to feel like the title character in every way imaginable. The combat that was excellent in the previous game is back and is refined in such a way that it allows you to implement gadgets into fist fights in a way that the previous game did not. Also added are new combos that allow for brutal beat downs of your foes. Also back for more are the challenge rooms. Like last time, these are a great way for anyone to showcase their free flow combat abilities, and try to string together as long a combo as possible. As an added bonus, you can play as Batman, Catwoman, and Robin if you have the DLC packs that were made available to those who purchased the game new and from the right retailer. A detailed list of what you get when you pre-ordered the game can be found at Giant Bomb.

One of the biggest complaints I have found about BAC is that it does not do anything different from the previous title. To me, this is not a bad thing at all. This is one of those classic cases that proves the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." BAC gives us, the gamer, more of what we wanted in the first place. A larger world, more missions, more characters to play as, more villains, more riddles, and best of all more challenge rooms to show off our skills.

After playing this game, I am once again left with the same feeling I had after finishing Arkham Asylum. I want more! Luckily, more challenge rooms are on their way in the form of DLC and new playable character. Nightwing!

On a final note, this game is easily one of the best games of the year. If you have yet to play this game, hurry up and get it, play it and enjoy it.

I think you meant to put this as a review.

And I do think this has game of the year worthy, its up there, but it has a lot of strong contenders.
