    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolutely amazing game! I’ve played this three times all to a 100% completion and loved it every time. The twists and the turns of the story are just amazing and are the reasons that I keep coming back to this game along with the incredible voice acting of Mark Hamil and Kevin Conroy two amazing actors. The boss fights are all unique and very fun to play and as you’ve probably heard the Mr Freeze boss fight is one of the best fights in gaming history as you have to use all your skills and weapons to beat him but on new game plus mode he is bloody hard to beat I have to admit. The side missions although short and sometimes tedious (looking at riddlers trophies right now) they are very fun and inventive. The riddler puzzles and trophies (even though there are 400 of them) are all in my opinion fun to collect and all have there own little challenge but some are just blatantly easy. Overall I love this game to bits and think it’s still one of the best games ever to this day. Highly recommend.… Expand

    One of the best games, i ever played. As I am huge fan since my childhood of Batman, it's like dreams come true. Really it's amazing story and graphics. They revolutionized a combat system. Developers are huge fans of comic books. This game are perfect in terms to fanbase.

    Spent weeks playing this and I can totally assure, you do feel like Batman, and that is the whole point of gaming, feeling it. It is impossible to not enjoy the range of gears and moves you are able to use in order to make your way to the objective or beating down enemies. Also, it is long enough for you to fully appreciate, but not too long for you to get sick of it.

    One of the best superhero games of all TIME. The story, the plot, the emotion, just a great game, you will enjoy this game it has mark hamill as Joker, Kevin Conroy as Batman and just a beautiful music and tone. Great gameplay obviously it has aged a bit but still a great game today

    Playing this game a decade later, it stands the test of time. A classic original batman story better than all of the 90s live-action movies. The freeflow combat system is still one of the best ever in 2022. Even though there are better-looking games than this now, the graphics are still surprisingly very good for 2022.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

There is a good balance between beat-them-up segments and stealth segments. The voice acting is excellent and animations do their job well. 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

    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.
