    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    Este juego pule todas las mecánicas que mostró su antecesor, con un combate fluido y disfrutable en todos aspectos. La historia me parece muy buena, y la tención que da en momentos es un puntazo 10/10

    what a game! The story is fantastic, the game features several spectacular moments, the combat is extremely revolutionary even though it has very few changes since Arkham Asylum, the "Stealph" is also amazing! It features many things that are extremely different from other games!

    A great, fun game with good combat and Really good movement, stealth is amazing. Only setback is a too crowded story, too much characters and no overall satisfaction, rushed ending boss.

    Best Batman and superhero game by far. The story mixed with the combat, where they almost Arkham Asylum’s Combat. The predator sections are what really makes this game stand out from all the other superhero games. Not only that the dlc skins and stories are amazing.

    Better than his predecessor (Arkham Asylum), Arkham City is an incredible game.

    Batman: Arkham City is a GREAT GAME.
    - Graphics are good.
    - Pacing is smooth.
    - Most missions are enjoyable.
    - The combat is one of the best parts of the game.
    - The Voice Acting, for the most part, is solid.
    - I love the overall dark tone of the game.

    To cut a long review short, if you enjoyed the first game, then you will absolutely have a great time with the sequel. Enjoy!!

    I didn’t take in how good this game was at the time. Thinking back on it, the opening as Bruce Wayne and the amount of replays and combat challenges I went through reminds me that this game was genuinely one of The Best Games ever. The Bruce Wayne opening, one of the best openings I’ve ever experienced. Partially due to me being a fan of Batman but who isn’t. Beast game.

    An excellent game with solid gameplay and great storytelling.

    The gameplay expands at a good rate, always trying to challenge the player without becoming too difficult or too boring.

The engine might be the best I've ever seen, it runs higher end(for its time) graphics exceptionally well on older systems.

    Its definitely a comic book story, so everything is done in extremes. The brooding hero is very brooding and dark but handsome. The women are highly sexualized and very attractive. The geniuses are brilliant. The monsters are hideous and evil. And while it falls deeply into these tropes it also manages to tell a compelling and often surprising story that transcends these tropes.

    Its as close to a game without flaws as you can get.    … Expand

Aunque Batman Arkham city sea un juego relativamente corto el tiempo de juego se alarga con sus misiones secundarias eventos por todo el mapa y sus del es eso como los que venían en la edición juego del año los cuales son el dlc de gatúbela el dlc de la venganza de Harley Quinn también el tiempo de juego se respalda y se aumenta con los desafíos de riddler al conseguir todos los trofeos dispersos por el mapa y ahí conseguir todos los trofeos que hay que escanear en escenas y partes de todo el mapa y cuando nos escaneamos nos relata una breve historia qué nos dará más información del juego su narrativa de las mejores que he visto en un videojuego los personajes están bien escritos el juego es divertido sus combates son espléndidos los controles están bien hechos muy bien merecido el título de juego del año aunque su portada edición juego del año me parece muy exagerado y hasta un poquito feo deber que resaltaron tanto el logo juego del año ese tema de la portada es el único que veo de punto negativo pero no tiene nada que ver con la jugabilidad los voy amar así rompecabezas en que tú tienes que buscar y hallar resolver todas esas partes del juego aunque son muy fáciles la verdad otro. Negativo pero no le quita nada otro punto que no le quita nada nuevamente pero me hubiera encantado es que a los plataformas de PlayStation 3 y Xbox 360 tuviera un doblaje latino pero no le quita nada ya que posee el doblaje en español España y también posee subtítulos para la versión norteamericana en español latino… Expand

    My second favourite in the Batman: Arkham series, this game expands on essentially everything from the first game, with the most notable improvements being the combat, story, and map - 9/10.

For the open world, there may be questions, but it didn’t annoy me, maybe this is due to the current Ubisoft games that I played enough for the rest of my life. And the world, though empty, is normal for 2011. The plot, he is not afraid of this word, is brilliant. The gameplay is also good, I was interested in beating up opponents and using gadgets, and I remember about the one-button combat from Arkham Knight, but it’s enough to set the difficulty level to high and everything is not so simple (I strongly advise you to play at the maximum difficulty level). In general, after passing the game, I was very pleased because the ending was also a cannon and negative impressions left only thoughts about the modern industry that is heading into the abyss.… Expand

    Arkham City is the best reflection of the Batman-comic books ever. Not because of the sheer amount of famous enemies that challenge our hero, but thanks to the amazing atmosphere that oozes from every pore of this remarkable action game. [Nov 2011, p.70]

    All in all, outside of a few minor issues, I couldn't ask for a better Batman experience. If Arkham City was a graphic novel, it would be considered a classic.
