Nothing could be a better ending to an award winning series of Batman games. The first time you rev up the bat mobile, you are going to remember for the rest of your life.

Six years ago Rocksteady Studios took the gaming world by storm, by giving us a super-hero game with Arkham Asylum that was actually good, in fact, it was better than good, it was bloody-well amazing! Well apart from the end of game boss fight, but hey, nothings perfect, right?

Free-Flowing combat is as good as ever; Largest open-world map in the series; Sublime visuals; Gripping; dark and mature tale with some great twists; Duel-Play feature makes you feel you're part of a team without co-op; Can wear skins from the get-go; no need for New Game

Batmobile feels a little overused; especially with its fiddly controls; Batman's hyper lip-sync

A confident mixture of familiar gameplay and bold storytelling brings Rocksteady's superhero trilogy to a satisfying, memorable close.

It's a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster on a console, concluding a multi-game arc and celebrating Batman as an idea and renewed gaming icon.

Batman's back and he's angrier, meaner and harder than ever; Everyone in Gotham, his entire rouge-gallery, is out to finally kill The Dark Knight once and for all

The tank sections with the Bat-Mobile are cumbersome and tedious when you're not used to the controls; and even then it's not something you can get right back into after ceasing to play it for over a year.

Arkham Knight will make you feel like Batman more than any Dark Knight game that's come before, but it's not quite all that it could be. The storyline is very good and well-acted, but pretty predictable for anyone familiar with the Dark Knight mythos, and while the Batmobile is a cool addition to...

Given the debacle outlined above, this verdict only really applies to the console versions. But rest assured, on PS4 or Xbox One Arkham Knight is consistently excellent. I struggle to think of another action game that has mastered action, puzzling, platforming, adventure, and racing quite so effectively, and presented each element with such an insane degree of polish. Every other contender in the field should gaze on in awe and take note - this is the new gold standard.

Intriguing open world; Stratospheric degrees of polish; Simple yet sophisticated combat; THE BATMOBILE THE BATMOBILE THE BATMOBILE;

Occasionally frustrating quest blocking;

Arkham Knight brings Gotham to life like never before, and takes Batman to seriously dark places
