Really good game. Only improvements compared to Arkham Asylum. It uses Games for Windows Live which is a huge minus, but doesn't affect the game itself (if you manage to get it working due to horrible DRM and other possible GFWL issues).

Batman: Arkham City has a few improvements compared to Asylum. I think, it's the best incarnation of Batman. The game uses "Games for windows live". It doesn't affect the game.

Quite frankly Arkham City is amazing, I never played Arkham Asylum but after playing a demo of this I went out and bought it, the combat is fantastic and flows so well. The graphics are stunning and the storyline is great. Quite simply you cannot miss out on this game, in my opinion it is one of the games of 2011!

What can I say? If you missed the first outing, then you missed the gaming equivalent of 'The Dark Knight' movie: that is to say, the best incarnation of batman in a game ever. This game just raises the bar even higher. The story is rich, engaging and filled to overflowing with Gotham lore. The fighting mechanics are easy to grasp, organic and brutally effective. The gadgets are spot on and fun to use. The graphics beautifully dark (and jaw dropping on full whack) and the sound adds the extra depth that graphic alone can't. Sure it's not perfect and can be frustrating at times, especially when trying to complete some of the Riddlers challenges and the AR training missions but that makes it all the more rewarding when you do finally complete them. I could spout superlatives for ages over how much I love this game but I'll leave you this piece of advice instead: Stop wasting your time reading this, buy it and find out for yourself: It doesn't matter what format you play it on just play it!!

Batman: Arkham City includes everything which made Arkham Asylum a great game and adds an open world with interesting side missions. If you enjoy action-adventure games you can't go wrong with this one.

Having played Arkham Asylum , I expected nothing more than perfect from this game and was not disappointed ! Better graphics More side missions More Gadgets More enemies Most of all 5 times bigger than the original !! 10/10

If you played Batman: Arkham Asylum, then you know how the game's mechanics work pretty much. The game expands on all the ideas and then offers some more. Free-roaming the Arkham city is how you travel and exploring the city is great fun. The game is rich with content that varies from Action, Stealth and Puzzles. Excellent game from start to finish.

An amazing game and absolutely the best superhero game. Must buy.

Batman fans and followers of the action-adventure genre will have a blast if they buy this game. It is brilliant and builds upon its predecessor. One of the better games of 2009, Arkham Asylum was brilliant and a total surprise. But everyone saw Arkham City coming due to the hype generated by the first game. After 6 hours of gameplay I couldn't spot many differences, compared to the first game, but I don't think this is a drawback. There are some additions to Batman's arsenal, a better story, a wider game area and of course the unique gameplay of Catwoman. You won't regret it.
