Batman: Arkham City - 'One Of The Best Games Ever Made'
 

Just completed Arkham Asylum a day ago and now this will be out soon, gameplay looks great. Also Catwoman will be playable :amazed:

Arkham Asylum is one of the best recent games i have played it was done so well hopefully this is even better.. seems to be a lot more Villians as well this time.. Joker, Harley Quinn, Two Face, Penguin, Victor Zsasz, The Creeper, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Talia al Ghul, Deadshot and Bane is going to be an Ally this time

I love Arkham Asylum so I'm definitely getting this.

I'd love some kind of CO-OP mode now that Catwoman is a playable character as well i think it would work really well with the Combo system they have

Me too, apparently this game will be longer aswell :amazed:

Im gonna try Arkham Asylum on expert difficulty see how I go. Im rubbish at challenges though :(

:D

Cant wait:amazed:

Im currently working through challenges on Asylum some are so difficult..... finally got all of the riddler challenges last night too.....was **** hard.

I used some walkthrough to get all the Riddler challenges.. it's almost impossible without

Yeah same here I had about 15 teeth I couldnt find and some riddles. On my own I maybe got 200 of the challenges

Took my ages to found a set of teeth i thought there was a glitch or something but found them in the end in the building you fight bane

The last set I needed were in the Caves, driving me mad, then I found them was delighted!

Is the xbox version any different?

Just read a spoiler for this, all I can say is WOW.

God I just want this now :sad:

Theres at least 40 hours of gameplay :o

First ''review'' in

Later this month the sequel to Guinness World Records "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever," Arkham City, gets released. We had some time with it at Gamescom – and if you got to rAge this weekend, you probably got to play it a bit as well. We think it’s fantastic – but we have odd taste.

The game’s first review has entered the wild, so what does Australia’s Official PlayStation Magazine think?

"Batman: Arkham City is not only the best superhero game ever made, it’s one of the best games ever made full-stop," gushes the magazine, as spotted by ArkhamCity.co.uk "It takes the already superlative original and gloriously expands on it. It’s a deeper game, more complex, more inventive, more mature. It brings the caped crusader’s world to life better than any comic, movie or television show before it."

In closing, the magazine opines “We can’t imagine how a superhero game could be better than this. Absolutely sublime.”

It looks like Rocksteady Studios might be set to break its own Guinness World Record. Arkham City will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 21. Unfortunately, the PC version’s release date has slipped to next month.

Official Playstation Magazine gives this a 10/10 rating:

"Batman: Arkham City is not only the best superhero game ever made, it's one of the best games ever made full-stop. It takes the already superlative original and gloriously expands on it. It's a deeper game, more complex, more inventive, more mature. It brings the caped crusader's world to life better than any comic, movie or television show before it."

"Presentation: Endlessly creative, perfectly moody, and technically flawless. This is Epic's Unreal engine pushed to its absolute limit."

"Sound: Alternatively foreboding and frantic, the game's orchestral soundtrack matches the on-sccreen action perfectly. Voice acting is brilliant."

"Controls: Complex and initially overwhelming but also logical and responsive. It'll take a while to get used to them, but once you do it feels perfectly natural flinging Batman around."

"Replay Value: Immense. A massive main quest, dozens of side missions, Riddler challenges, secondary game modes, and DLC will keep most people occupied for months."

"VERDICT: We can't imagine how a superhero game could be better than this. Absolutely sublime."

10/10

Further Batman video games have been promised by Arkham City developer Rocksteady Studios.

The company has said that despite the huge scale of the Batman: Arkham Asylum sequel, it still intends to keep producing games for the franchise.

"I mean I think as long as we're still enjoying it and as long as we feel we can contribute to the Batman universe, [we will continue]," Rocksteady's Dax Ginn told CVG. "That's how it feels.

"There's some amazing stuff going on with Batman all around the world at the moment and we feel as though we're making our own little contribution in the form of the Arkham-verse.

"So as long as we've got stories to tell," he concluded. "So long as we feel we can do that and do that really well."

I want to get a level pack though. I hope theyve made the challenges a bit more reasonable in this one.

Oh god yeah those challenges in Arkham Asylum used to send me crazy:joker:

I can do most of the silent ones. its the combat ones that get me, you have to hit every criminal wothout taking a punch to clear them and some of the extreme ones are just ridonckolous!
