   This game has one flaw and it permeates the entire experience... overkill. Don't get me wrong, the game is worthwhile and Rocksteady has put together one of the best, smoothest, combat systems out. But everywhere in the game it's overkill, too many new combat moves, too many new gadgets (seriously the Justice League union reps better get on this because the Bats is taking away other super hero jobs!!!!), too many Riddler trophy challenges which just clutter up the landscape. This also shows itself in the main story line, trying to get too many of Batmans foes into the plot just left it disjointed, at times I felt lost. If you thought with all these guys getting into the plot it would be long, wrong, story is shorter then AA, but, with side missions and stuff the overall game is longer. Arkham Aslylums story is much better, Arkham Citys story isn't crap, it's just not as good. Arkham City (the map) is very nicely done and nice to look at, it's almost two worlds in one, with the upper rooftops feeling completely different then at street level. Aside from going overboard on combat moves, some of the new moves are great like 'the beatdown'. One real nice thing about AC is that it pretty much picks up right where AA left off, so you can play through AA and then roll right into AC without missing a beat. The Challenge mode has more types and more maps then AA did, and looks like it will be even harder to master. Overall I would say if you liked Arkham Asylum, then this is a must play.… Expand

   I find myself torn between loving this game and being annoyed and turned away by some of its design choices. Firstly, the game looks and plays great, for the most part. But I just find it so tiring that once again the joker is the epicentre of everything. There is a subplot about Dr Strange knowing Batman's identity as Bruce Wayne that is referred to and then ultimately never expanded upon and the story eventually ends up with the Joker making a final appearance with a boss fight that he isn't even involved in. It feels like he was only included as a draw for an audience, as if the developers didn't have faith that people would buy the game unless Joker was involved somehow.
   
   Also, the inclusion of the Riddler Campaigns and Challenges is a cheap, lame attempt from Rocksteady to make it seem like you're getting more bang for your buck. Regardless, Arkham City is definitely a notch above Arkham Asylum in almost every area, it's just a shame that the developers try to pull the wool over our eyes.… Expand

   Um monte de tempo e energia parece ter ido para este jogo e tudo o que era divertido sobre Arkham Asylum ainda divertido aqui. No entanto, o jogo tem suas desvantagens. Por um lado, eu não acho que a história foi melhorada por ter um mundo "livre de roaming Em outros jogos, a liberdade de circulação fantástico jogos como Red Dead Redemption e Oblivion. Com Batman, no entanto, eu estava irritado com… Expand
