    It's a decent action game. If I were a fan of Batman, I might have enjoyed it even more.

    Es un juego fantástico con mil y un referencias a los cómics de batman, tanto el combate como la ambientación son espectaculares y la historia es intrigante.

The plot, gameplay, graphics 10 on my PC the game looks great. 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

    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

    More of the same from the creators of Arkham Asylum, but with a little more variety thanks to a more open environment and sequences in which you can play as Catwoman as well as The Dark Knight.

    Total favorite. Batman Arkham series is pure classic into the superhero genre of games. You really get the feeling of what Batman is like. The story is just as a movie and the graphics are enough to feel real

    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.

    Although deepened, the fluid combat remains tediously limited at its core, as does the repetitive stealth, but the game entertains greatly in spite of it by taking the player through an intriguing variety of different battle scenarios, stratified maps, atmospherically immersive side-quests and dynamic boss fights interspersed with tons of simplistic but diverse environmental puzzles andAlthough deepened, the fluid combat remains tediously limited at its core, as does the repetitive stealth, but the game entertains greatly in spite of it by taking the player through an intriguing variety of different battle scenarios, stratified maps, atmospherically immersive side-quests and dynamic boss fights interspersed with tons of simplistic but diverse environmental puzzles and interactions, while an engaging plot unites a huge number of historic Gotham characters into one cohesive narrative.… Expand

    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.

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

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

    A great Batman game that improves on the gameplay and graphics of Arkham Asylum. Very good mechanics and combat, good progression and gadgets. Solid voice acting. A few frustrating sections, by very fun overall.

    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.

    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.
