This game is truly a huge change from Arkham Asylum, the games graphics are more epic and the game is much more fun to play. I like how almost ALL the villains in Batman are in this game and are in a gang war to decide who will be the leader of Arkham City. The Detective Mode is more advanced and is much better to use, I have only started the game and the game has definitely improved.

What are your thoughts on the game?

Didn't think it was all that. Personally I think the story lacked which is a big thing with me and the number of villians I think hindered that a bit.

I thought it was, it was definitely a postive improvement from Asylum.

I think the Riddler challenges are much harder in this game so it makes it a bigger challenge.

Just finished storyline mode on normal and it was pretty lame compared to the first one, especially the ending. Great map and pretty awesome interaction with the environment, but the story-arc and use of the rogue gallery didn't come close to measuring up with the first game.

I think the storyline so far is better than the first, quick question Do You See Killer Croc In This Game?

The map is big and has plenty of things to do, which is great.... why didn't you like the story?

Croc is just a cameo in the sewers. You have to throw a batarang into some kind of switch or something and then he'll pop out from behind the sewer bars and start yelling about how he's gonna eat you. I forget exactly what happens, but you can Youtube Croc's cameo easily.

LOL at people saying the story wasn't good. Makes me wonder if they even played the story. AC Revelations had a weak storyline, Gears of War 3 had a weak storyline, Arkham City is so far above Arkham Asylum in story that to even compare them is basically a disservice to all the extra work Rocksteady put in to making this game special. Everything they did for this game works beautifully from the storyline to the environments to the amount of characters they used. The only complaint that I have is that the system of getting from one point to the next is extremely vague and it doesn't really help you from getting to where you want, you basically have to find things on your own. Other than that, I don't really have a problem with it, besides the fact that they basically stuck the ending in the wrong place. They should've had the absolute final sequence be the second last thing shown, and the second last thing should've been the real finale. That doesn't detract too much, but I felt like it was a little out of place.

All in all, a huge improvement. Game of the year runner up imo, to Uncharted 3.

Happy to see another lover of the Batman Arkham series, the game could be the Game of the Year... I do agree bro. I'm not very far into it yet BUT I'm decently in it and I'm really enjoying it. I was kinda hoping to be able to fight Croc, it wasn't really a fight in Asylum so I want a rematch! lol They definitely enhanced the game and I am liking the improvements.

Arkham City is basically battling Saints Row 3 for my GOTY. Before they came out, my pick "so far" was L.A. Noire.

In terms of gameplay, Arkham City improves on just about every aspect from AA, the stealth and combat are both much deeper. The storyline was a nice little mystery and the end twist threw me completely off.

For those disappointed with the ending, Arkham City was Mark Hamill's final performance as The Joker as he has now retired the role. Sure it kind of disappoints me that Hugo Strange was overshadowed, but the ending was meant to mark the end of an era in Batman forever. And as far as villians being spread too thin... Two-Face is the only one worth complaining about. Everyone else had their part.

Oh yah definitely, gameplay was solid.

I didn't expect the end at all, thanks for explaining the reasoning. The only person I would've enjoyed to see alot more in the game was Two-Face, he was only used at the start.

I just beat the story btw :)

I'm a completionist, so I've got everything done apart from Catwoman's Riddler Campaign maps, her stealth is lacking. Weird considering I've already completed everything with Nightwing.

I heard you have to defeat Ra Al Gul or whatever then you can see Killer Croc, am I right?
