If you haven't heard about Batman: Arkham City or its 2009 predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum, you just might be living in a cave. Not the batcave mind you, but some dingy moss-lined cave complete with centipedes and icky little creatures that scuttle across you while you sleep on the stone floor.

Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.

With little exception, superhero games were a bit of an industry joke, known mostly for timely cash-ins and half-finished ideas. That all changed in 2009, when Rocksteady Studios released Batman: Arkham Asylum .

Just as fun as the original; More techniques and animations for Freeflow combat

Less compelling set piece than the Asylum; Confusing plot lacks focus

Action/Adventure BANG! THUD! PEOWW! The sequel to my personal game of 2009, and my most anticipated game of 2011 has finally arrived. takes place about a year after the original and is of a much larger scope than its predecessor.

Just finished! Wanted it because 1st game was awesome! Scenery is amazing, but to crack this game alot of time is spent in detective mode, which maybe takes away from this a bit. Great fun jumping about the rooftops & plenty of action! Great storyline & side missions.

still a fantastic game. Strange to play a game that is skating the edge of an M rating but going out of its way to stay in T territory. You'll know what I mean by listening to the idle chatter between the street punks.

Arkham City is a really good GTA clone with the various super villains and their thugs filling in as the gangs; The stealth gameplay is well done; The fighting system is superb as well; At @$40, the value of all the DLC stuff in the GOTY version makes it a steal.

The story is weak; Go ahead and downvote me for saying so, but its true; There are cliched parts where Batman comes across as amateurish getting knocked over the head unconscious and mentally ill going out of his way to save evil violent murderers.

To date, something like two dozen Batman games have been produced. Most of them weren't any good.

How good is Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition? So good that the stellar single-player storyline makes me completely forget about the lackluster additional content on disc 2.
