Aug 13, 2021Complete boredom. The plot is boring as hell, all characters are just saying you what to do, no interesting interactions with them, only with antagonists, bland. The game in terms of tech looks fine, the combat is excellent, but because of the boring plotline there is no motivation to play further. Learn from Insomniac Games please. Imo

Dec 30, 2021What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already? AC took everything from AA and improved on it so much. The plot, action, and soundtrack are legendary, and it still amazes how Rocksteady was able to surpass AA in so many ways. This game makes you feel like Batman, and I'll always consider it to be THE greatest game ever made.

Mar 3, 2021considering the fact that this game was released in 2011 the graphics are great. The story is intriguing. Combat system has it's flaws and compared to Arkham Knight it's not the best but it's still pretty good. Im giving it 9/10 because you need to do all challenges and campaigns to get 100% which is very frustrating. Im glad they changed it in next game
-
Sep 13, 2022The game is an 8/10. I enjoy the combat. It would be better if the game was less open. I don't like the open world aspect. it leads to more downtime.

Jul 17, 2021The games a lot of fun and I loved playing it, there were some points in the story that annoyed me and the combat did get a little annoying by the end but I loved Batman Arkham city and would defiantly recommend you buy it as it doesn’t cost to much, i got it for like £3 of eBay so it is well worth the price.

Nov 28, 2021Can we have another Batman game please? This & Asylum are truly top tier games. The more open-world nature of this hurts it slightly, but it's still so good.

Jul 13, 2022One 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.
-
Apr 30, 2023Total 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
-
Jun 25, 2023One 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

Mar 18, 2022Best game on ps3, the word awesome is an understatement and needs to be played to be appreciated.
-
Mar 19, 2022The 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.

Mar 19, 2022Este 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

Apr 4, 2022what 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!

-
Aug 15, 2022The BEST game from the Arkham franchise no doubt, ti´s just wonderful in every aspect especially the story, one of the best batman stories there is.
-
May 5, 2022Combat is improved from the first game. Overall level design is better as well with great verticality in levels. Story is good but not as polished as the first games. The overall world feels emptier then the first games. Catwoman sections frustrating
-
Jun 26, 2022Batman: Arkham City remains the best entry into the Arkham universe with its great gameplay and story.
-
Jan 27, 2023A 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.
-
Jul 14, 2022Bro why this game make ME feel racist and sexist (and every other intolerant that exists)
-
Jul 14, 2022Best 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.

Oct 24, 2022Batman: 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.

To cut a long review short, if you enjoyed the first game, then you will absolutely have a great time with the sequel. Enjoy!! -
Oct 27, 2022Best Superhero game ever!!! Rocksteady did a outstanding job whit one of the DC Trinity’s members, the Goddamn Batman :)

-
Nov 14, 2022This video game is PEAK FICTION and has the best story and boss fights out of any batman game.
-
Dec 4, 2022I 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.

Jun 24, 2023More 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.

Official PlayStation Magazine BeneluxDec 29, 2011Arkham 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]
-
Nov 29, 2011All 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.
-
Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Nov 18, 2011Arkham City should be celebrated as a shining achievement for the action-adventure genre for its masterful execution. [Holiday 2011, p.70]
