Eurogamer - Batman Arkham City Review

First they gave us a hero; now they've given us his ideal playground. And along the way, they crossed off one of the trickiest entries on my own personal to-do list: an entry that's right there in between Meet Ty Pennington and Finish that Robert Musil book .

Become Batman. Done.

Awesome score from Eurogamer

Yup, as if I needed any other reason to get the game :) I like the sound of the Riddler puzzles. It sounds like these puzzles will do for Batman what the Truth puzzles did for Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood.

Does this game take place over 1 night like in Asylum? I wonder how they would go about doing a batman game taking place over several days. Maybe they would let us play as Bruce Wayne.

Simply can't wait...but i must

The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.

All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?

Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.

I think asylum and origins were great. City was good. Knight was horrible.

You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.

To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.

IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8

Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.

SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.

Thanks for the spoiler how the game starts loser...

darthv7244d ago

Zeke... you've had plenty of time to play god of war 2.
