As a kid, my main memory of Batman was of the cheesy 60s camp-fest starring Adam West and Burt Ward. Batman wasn't some dark, troubled vigilante with pointy ears, he was just a paunchy, hammy old bastard, slightly embarrassing and effete.

Arkham Asylum had only one major flaw – the game was so painstakingly, overwhelmingly, wonderfully thorough in its depiction of the Bat...

One of the best Batman stories ever told; Gotham setting thats stunning in both size and detail; Enough content to keep you busy for 25; even 50 hours

Catwoman could be handled better; Two-Face is a little one-note; Worrying that this can never be topped

For Rocksteady second foray into the Batman universe there not stumbling, as most sequels tend to do. There keeping the stride and pace that they began in the first game and now improving upon all the aspects that they can.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a better action game than Batman: Arkham City . Everything comes together so perfectly and the new open world lends itself well to the Batman universe.

Combat continues to be fast, intuitive, and brutal; excellent story; plenty of side quests to do; lots of content that will please any fan of Batman

Catwoman content isn't as strong as the rest of the game

Darkness Engulfs Us All Gotham City has seen better days. After the lunatics (led by the Prince of Lunatics, the Joker) took over the asylum in Rocksteady's rendition of the Caped Crusader, Batman: Arkham Asylum , it was clear that all was not over.

Truly one of the best games ever, improving on Arkham Asylum in every way; The ultimate superhero title and the closest mere mortals will ever get to being the Dark Knight himself

Minor problems with difficulty of Riddler challenges and the sheer array of moves means some may lay forgotten and cause frustration and annoyance when their use is required

Rocksteady Studios simply astonished us back in 2009, with their captivating action adventure, Batman: Arkham Asylum . As gamers grew tired of the whole super-hero (or indeed the 'anti-hero') concept, nobody really expected that a new Batman game would be such a hit.

Everything just feels in place; the visuals; the music; the voice acting; the gameplay; it feels complete in every way

I guess the main story could've been a little longer and the boss encounters a bit more challenging
