    Story telling is excellent. Boss fights are bests in series. Combat mechanics are perfect. Traveling got better. Probably the most fun you can get on a Batman game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Batman: Arkham City çok başarılı bir oyun. Batman sever biri olarak bu kadar kaliteli bir Batman oyunu oynamak benim için ayrı keyifli oldu. Hikayesini anlatarak başlayayım. Oyun Arkham Asylum'ın hemen sonrasını konu alıyor. Arkham Asylum'da Joker'in alt edilmesinden sonra bunu kendine mal eden Arkham Asylum'ın müdürü Quincy Sharp Gotham'ın yeni belediye başkanı seçilir. Başkan seçildikten sonra Arkham Asylum'ı yıktığını söyleyen Sharp yeni bir projeyi tanıtır. Bu projeye göre Gotham'ın bir kısmı duvarla çevrilip şehrin geri kalanından izole edilecek ve bu bölgede suçlular kalacaktır. Burada suçlular serbestçe hareket edebilecek fakat bölgeden kaçmaya çalışan suçlular bölgenin güvenliğini sağlamak ile görevli olan TYGER adındaki güvenlik görevlileri tarafından etkisiz hale getirilecektir. Arkham City projesinden 1 sene sonra Bruce Wayne bir basın açıklaması yapar ve Arkham City'nin çok tehlikeli bir proje olduğunu, insanlara zarar vereceğini söyler. Bu basın açıklamasını gerçekleştirirken Bruce Wayne, Hugo Strange'in adamları tarafından tutuklanır ve diğer mahkumların yanına gönderilir. Ancak Bruce Wayne buradan kaçar ve Batman kostümünü giydikten sonra işe koyulur. Batman, mahkumların yanındayken Huge Strange'in "Protocol 10" isminde bir proje üzerinde çalıştığını öğrenir ve bunun ne olduğunu öğrenmeye çalışır. Daha sonra Joker tarafından tuzağa düşürülen Batman, Joker'in hasta olduğunu, hastalığını kendisine ve Gotham'daki hastanelerde yatan hastalara da bulaştırdığını öğrenir. Joker, Batman'e eğer hastalığın ilacını bulamazsa kendisi ile birlikte Gotham'da bulunan masum insanların da öleceğini söyler. Batman, panzehir için aşık olduğu kadın Talia'nın babası Ra's al Ghul'dan yardım almaya çalışsa da prensipleri birbirine zıt olduğu için Batman onlardan yardım alamaz. Yardım almak için Mr. Freeze'e giden Batman, Mr. Freeze ile de işlerin ters gitmesi sonucu mücadele etmek zorunda kalır ve sonunda Mr. Freeze'i yendikten sonra panzehri alır. Bu sırada Protocol 10 başlar ve suçluları öldürmek için Arkham City'ye saldırı düzenlenir. Joker'in peşine düşen Batman, Joker tarafından yakalanır fakat Talia gelip Batman'i bırakması durumunda Joker'e ölümsüzlük verebileceğini söyler. Joker bunu kabul eder ve Talia ile birlikte oradan ayrılırlar. Olanlardan sonra Batman ilk olarak Protocol 10'u durdurmak için Huga Strange'i yakalar ve tam o sırada Ra's gelerek Strange'i öldürür. Protocol 10'un arkasında Ra's'ın olduğu ve bu iş için Strange'i görevlendirdiği ortaya çıkar. Strange son nefesini verirken bulundukları binayı havaya uçurur. Batman ve Ra's birlikte binadan atlarlar, Ra's düşüp ölür ama Batman kurtulur. Tekrardan Joker'in peşine düşen Batman, Joker'in izini bulur. Joker Talia'yı rehin almıştır, ama Talia ani bir hareketle Joker'in elindeki kılıcı alıp ona saplar. Fakat birden bire Talia ile Batman'in arkasından başka bir Joker çıkagelir ve Talia'yı vurarak öldürür. Diğerinin Joker kılığına girmiş Clayface olduğu anlaşılır. Batman Clayface'i de yener ve Joker ile arasında çıkan arbedede Joker'i iyileştirecek panzehir yere düşer, bunun sonucunda Joker ölür. Batman, Joker'in cesedini dışarı taşır ve ortadan kaybolur, hikaye burada biter. Oyunun hikayesi oldukça sürükleyici, özellikle Penguin, Two-Face gibi karakterlerin de oyunda bulunması güzel olmuş. Olay örgüsü oyuncuyu içine çektiği gibi Joker ve Harley Quinn gibi karakterlerin de iyi işlenmiş olması hikayeyi zenginleştirmiş. Sunum olarak da oyunu oldukça başarılı buldum, ara sahneler de genel olarak çok kaliteli. Oynanış ise muhtemelen bu oyunun en güçlü kısmı. Bu oyun benim gördüğüm en akıcı ve keyifli dövüş mekaniklerine sahip. Dövüş mekanikleri ve farklı silahları/hareketleri kullanarak kombolar yapmak o kadar keyifli ki bir savaşa girdiğim zaman bitmesini hiç istemiyordum resmen. Oyunda ilerledikçe dövüşlerde kullanabileceğimiz farklı silahlar ve yetenek ağacından da farklı hareketler açabiliyoruz, bu da oynanışı çeşitlendiriyor. Oyunda Catwoman'ı da kontrol edebiliyoruz ve bu karakterin de kendine özel hareketleri, silahları ve komboları var, yani oynanış anlamında da Catwoman'ı oynadığımız bölümler yeni bir soluk getiriyor oyuna. Catwoman bölümleri dışında genel olarak diğer bölüm tasarımları da oldukça iyi ve atmosfer içine çekiyor. Gotham'da dolaşmak çok eğlenceli ve şehir o kadar iyi dizayn edilmiş ki şehirde Batman ile dolaşmak çok rahat ve pratik. Grafiksel olarak da kaliteli bir iş çıkarılmış, ancak bazı performans sorunları var. Bazı ara sahnelerde ve oyun kaydedilirken performans düşüşleri yaşanabiliyor. Oyunu oynarken herhangi bir hataya denk gelmedim. Batman: Arkham City çok kaliteli bir oyun. Expand

    The gameplay is deeper, with every one of its elements feeling important, the story is more intricate without getting too caught up in spectacle without bringing a deeper meaning to the Batman mythos, and the efficiency of the open world formula lets you forgive a couple of underwhelming side missions.

    I can't believe people voting this a 0, but I guess there are haters everywhere. Yes the game was a month late, yes DX11 features will slow down your game, when it should, in fact, speed it up, yes there is SecuRom, and yes its on GWFL. However, none of that really matters, a month later? Who fricking cares, yes I had some of it spoiled, but I should have kept away from the batman forums… Expand

    First of all, the story of the game is not bad and the atmosphere of the game is nice, but the city is not lively as an effect of the story selection. The mechanics and animations in the game are great, fighting with the enemies is enjoyable, but the boss battles are not that good. Overall the game is excellent my rating is 90/100

A jogabilidade é excepcional, combinando habilmente a ação frenética do combate com os elementos de exploração e investigação que fazem parte do mundo de Batman.

    Além disso, a galeria de vilões é impressionante, com inimigos icônicos e desafios únicos que mantêm os jogadores engajados durante toda a jornada. O uso de gadgets e a variedade de abordagens para enfrentar os desafios também adicionam uma dimensão estratégica à jogabilidade.

    Though the ending is surprising, in a way, the story isn't the main focus of Batman: Arkham City. Exploring and adventuring come first, you have so much to do that you that the hours just slip by you. Yes, the boss fights are probably too easy, the narrative too short, the framerate goes down on occasion and not all the players will appreciate searching through every nook and cranny to find trophies. But it's all up to you and Arkham City offers a variety that not a lot of new games have nowadays.

    The developers should be proud for Arkham City and its precise portrayal of Gotham's mood- at least accordingly to recent films and comic books. A gothic atmosphere is undoubtedly dominant, as the majestic architecture of neoclassical buildings shadows the industrialization and the bright lights of a contemporary metropolis.

    It's hard to create an extraordinary game but to recognize it is quite simple. Arkham City with its cinematic appearance towers high above the rest with its production values. [Dec 2011]
