    The main story is a convoluted mess, and the Batmobile gameplay is a serious detractor on the fun factor—especially since the Dark Knight is forced to use this clunky vehicle far too often. The combat outside of the car is better than ever, though, so exploring the game’s bountiful side content remains a bright spot in an overall disappointing conclusion to the Arkham franchise.

    The results are imperfect, resulting in an Arkham game that's not as good as its predecessors. But it's still plenty of fun...It's absolutely worth making this trip to Gotham. You'll just wish you could do it without the car.

    Rocksteady's previous Arkham games found a solid balance of established and original tales that made you feel the Batman fantasy while still being fun to play. With so much focus shifted to new characters and the Batmobile in the twilight of Rocksteady's run on the franchise, it feels like the developer didn't have enough time to mix them all together quite as thoroughly.

    This game is Batman. If you loved the other ones as I did, then you'll love this one as well. If you're looking for something brand new andThis game is Batman. If you loved the other ones as I did, then you'll love this one as well. If you're looking for something brand new and different from the other ones, than you'll be disappointed. This is everything that I wanted in the game and more! Also, DLC is NOT how I would describe this game since there are none out there except for the preorder stuff.… Full Review »

    Simply doesn't live up to the hype of the first two. The story is lazy, the worst part being the reveal of who the Arkham Knight is. TheSimply doesn't live up to the hype of the first two. The story is lazy, the worst part being the reveal of who the Arkham Knight is. The batmobile is also not fun, and the boss fights are terrible. I would've said wait for the GOTY edition, but I doubt it's even good enough of a game to warrant such an edition down the road. Very disappointed Asylum and City fan here.… Full Review »
