Product Description
Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.
Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.
- Batman: Arkham City is the follow-up to the award-winning hit video game Batman: Arkham Asylum and delivers an authentic and gritty Batman experience.
- Become the Dark Knight: Batman: Arkham City delivers a genuinely authentic Batman experience with advanced, compelling gameplay on every level: high-impact street brawls, nail-biting stealth, multifaceted forensic investigation, epic super-villain encounters and unexpected glimpses into Batman's tortured psychology.
- Advanced FreeFlow combat: Batman faces highly coordinated, simultaneous attacks from every direction as Arkham's gangs bring heavy weapons and all-new AI to the fight, but Batman steps it up with twice the number of combat animations and double the range of attacks, counters and takedowns.
- New gadgets:Batman has access to new gadgets such as the Cryptographic Sequencer V2 and Smoke Pellets, as well as new functionality for existing gadgets that expand the range of Batman's abilities without adding extra weight to his Utility Belt.
- New story:Five-time Emmy-Award-winner Paul Dini returns to pen a brand-new story for Batman: Arkham City, taking gamers deep inside the diseased heart of Gotham.
- Arkham has moved:Following the closure of Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison, Gotham's new mayor, Quincy Sharp ordered the relocation of all inmates to Arkham City - a sprawling new super-prison five times bigger than Arkham Island, enclosing a wide variety of industrial districts, iconic locations and Gotham landmarks.
- Huge cast of characters: Players encounter numerous characters from the Batman universe, including Catwoman, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, Hugo Strange, Victor Zsasz, Calendar Man, The Joker, The Riddler and other iconic characters yet to be revealed.
- Play as Catwoman:Players will have a chance to indulge in their darker side and explore Arkham City as the infamous feline femme fatale. Complete with her own storyline in the main game, Catwoman's adventure complements Batman's central role and is seamlessly interwoven with his main story arc. She will also be playable in the challenge maps with her own unique combat moves, gadgetry and signature 'takedowns'
- Featured voice over talent:Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy reprise their roles as The Joker and Batman respectively.
Product Reviews
My favourite single player game to date by a long shot. I loved the first game and the sequel brushed up on a few problems the first one had. The combat system is unique and freeflowing and they developed that even further in this game. I'm not usually overly interested in voice acting in games but the voice of the original Batman and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) definitely improve the story experience.
Batman has always had an underlying feeling of grunge and darkness, to which rocksteady captured perfectly. There's tons of collectibles and side missions to keep you occupied for hours, as well as combat/predator challenges to keep you occupied even after you've completed the main story. There's also lots of additional DLC available for Robin, Catwoman, Nightwing etc to add additional challenges with different character skins. The only downside I see to this game is that there isn't a multiplayer option but the single player is so detailed, you can easily forgive them for not creating a multiplayer mode. Anyone who's a fan of Batman, sandbox games or the superhero genre as a whole, Batman: Arkham City is a must have.

Having got this on the recommendation of a friend, without having played Arkham Asylum, I was somewhat hesitant as to whether or not I'd be able to pick up the story and enjoy it. However, I was pleasantly surprised! It's a really great story, with awesome characters and voice acting. They get plenty of the classic villains in, without it seeming "crowded".
The combat is absolutely amazing, some of the best melee/beat-em-up combat I've had the pleasure to enjoy. At first, I thought it was a bit simplistic, but as soon as you unlock some new gadgets/combos, the options are limitless. The game PERFECTLY nails that feeling of "predator in the shadows" what Batman is all about.
Only loses half a star for lack of multilayer, but to be honest, with all the achievements and the fact the game is a sandbox with genuinely enjoyable side missions, you're really not losing much longevity.
