    The Greatest Game Ever

    Batman Arkham City is the greatest game this generation!
     
    As I stated at one point or another Arkham Asylum is the best game I've played since the Metal Gear Solid series
    which is the highest complement any game could ever hope to get
     
    Arkham City further fleshed out the great aspects of Arkham Asylum 
    becoming more Zelda like as appose to Metroid like that was Arkham Asylum   
     
    Now placing you in a closed off section of Gotham City as a new measure to imprison the criminally insane 
    every villain you can think of is here from the DC Universe to the point of being pure fan-service as it gets 
     
    Though the city is not as big as other super hero game cities like PS3's InFamous series 
    but the trade off is indoor levels i.e. dungeons
     
    The game leaves you to your own devices that won't hold your hand  which is very refreshing
    where is most other games as of late feel mostly like "on rail games" 
     
    You have several things to tackle from the Riddler Missions 
    which was in the previous game where you spent most of your time on 
     
    Such is the case this time around in the 2nd installment with the exception you will have other villains such as 
    Mr. Freeze The Penguin Two Face & others which actually make up "sub quests" of the game that were teased in the 1st game
     
    Then you have the main quest that being of course the Joker & Harely Quinn 
     
    However this time around Batman won't be alone as he will have some help from the sexy minx Catwoman!
     
    The Good +
     
    One of the best virtual detailed worlds ever made
     
    Great fluent addictive combat system that can get deep via combos
     
    Gadgets that will come into play into the environments such as your trusty grapple hook 
    that will get you up high building structures
     
    NPC talking banter off in the distance that helps tell the story further 
     
    Ridder Missions are still solid an up the bargain 
     
    Every Villain you can think of is here and some you may not even known existed  
     
    The Bad -
     
    Over world map could be bigger
     
    Can be overwhelming on what to do for new players

    Some may miss out on the essential Catwoman campaign do to it being a DLC 
    that is free with new copies via redeem code but should have been the disk in the fist place

      Arkham City's nothing short of a masterpiece. 0

      When Arkham Aslyum was released just a bit over two years ago, I didn't know what to expect. The road for Batman games, hell, the road for any kind of licensed games were pretty terrible. But Rocksteady did the unthinkable, they created the best licensed video game ever made, until now.Arkham City is to video games what The Dark Knight is to films. It was started off on solid ground, and then takes a jackhammer to that solid ground and pounds through it, grabbing you and never letting go. Everyt...

      Batman: Arkham Asylum still stands as one of my favorite games this generation, primarily for its sublime mix of combat, exploration and stealth. Batman: Arkham City is able to replicate most of those strengths in ways you’d expect, but it also dilutes the overall product by trying to cram a lot of other mediocre stuff into the package. Fans of the original looking for more will find it here, but a few rough patches make Batman: Arkham City shine less brightly than it once did.My favorite thing ...
