Improved gameplay, new mechanics, and an even stronger story denote whether you care about Batman or not, it's still a game worthy of your time. With some easter eggs possibly hinting at plots for a third game, let's hope Rocksteady isn't quite done with the Dark Knight.

Arkham City handles its side-stories gloriously. [Christmas 2011, p.102]

All in all, outside of a few minor issues, I couldn't ask for a better Batman experience. If Arkham City was a graphic novel, it would be considered a classic.

Perfect, no more words. The best superhero game ever. Great story, great gameplay, good graphics for its time and a whole BANGER SOUNDTRACK. I heavily recommend playing it.

O arkham city é o jogo abaixo do nível de todos os outros em minha opinião, a história dele é muito boa, mas as missões são bem chatas nao é nem um pouco intuitivas, a apenas um chefe bom nao é digno de um 94 de nota

A Batman game like never before. Fans will feel like they're dreaming, whereas everyone else has an incredibly large and in-depth world to enjoy and engage with. It doesn't get much better. [Issue#78, p.80]

It's the best treatment of a comic book character outside of graphic novels ever. It's the best Action Adventure/Open World game ever. It's the best game I've played this year. And finally, it's the best superhero game you've ever played.

As someone who doesn't really enjoy Superhero games, Arkham City and I hit it off from the word go, as I was pulled into the story and role of a crime fighting genius.

Arkham City does what everyone hoped it would yet feared it couldn't; expand and improve on Arkham Asylum. Indeed, Arkham City is a bigger and better game in all regards, delivering an immaculately presented, rich, compelling play experience and gripping story while simultaneously respecting its source material's legacy and pushing the Batman myth further forward.

Arkham City and The Dark Knight (film) have something much more important in common: They're so sublime, they render their predecessors nearly forgettable by comparison.

Arkham City is a display of power. Its predecessor was one of the best licensed games ever, but it's as if Rocksteady has found another gear, just as we thought they were already running at top speed. It's an amazing game, and one of the greatest releases this year.

Even if there is still some reason to quibble here and there, Arkham City is undoubtedly the result of which we dreamed, rich and surprising in many ways. A feat which makes it a must-see title of 2011.

O que falar desse jogo atemporal, a melhor adaptação de um herói nos videogames. Simplesmente incrível este jogo ser da sétima geração de consoles, arrisco dizer que tem gráficos melhores do que diversos jogos atuais, como os live services que todas empresas lançam a rodo, com pressa e sem carinho na produção, lotados de microtransação. Enquanto isso, nessa época temos um jogo feito com muito carinho e dedicação dos desenvolvedores, fazendo jus ao primeiro jogo da saga A gameplay foi muito aprimorada comparada ao primeiro, sendo bem mais fluída, com mais gadgets, novos movimentos de combate adicionados aos combos, que deixam aquilo que ja era bom, na minha opinião, ainda melhor. Talvez só a parte stealth do jogo que não tenha sido tão aprimorada e nem tão bem utilizada, não me leve a mal. eu acho a parte furtiva maravilhosa mas sinto que ela não mudou muito em comparação ao primeiro jogo e ela poderia ter sido mais utilizada também. Quanto a história não há palavras suficientes no meu vocabulário pro quão gostoso é a narrativa desse jogo. Não vou entrar em muitos detalhes, contudo o final é esplêndido e toda sua construção é absurda, sem contar as missões secundárias que são todas muito boas. Novamente eu fiz o 100%, fiz com naturalidade de tão bom que é, eu rasgo elogios pros coletáveis desse jogo, as charadas apesar de parecerem maçantes por serem 400, são legais de se fazer, com inúmeros puzzles diferentes e com uma conclusão satisfatória, portanto tentem fazer, vale a pena. A trilha sonora é algo a se destacar também, da vontade de ficar na tela de "start" do jogo só para sentir o clima e escutar aquela musica emocionante que chega a arrepiar, até os créditos desse jogo são bons, só para ter noção do quão fantástico é este jogo. Vale lembrar que o jogo base tem conteúdo pra caramba, além das missões da história principal e secundárias, ainda têm os desafios do charada e para quem quiser ir além têm as dlc's que adicionam mais á esse universo. Os personagens fantásticos, novamente um voice acting insano, até com personagens das missões secundárias sendo extremamente marcantes. Um prato cheio para fãs dos quadrinhos do batman e até para os que não são é uma baita porta de entrada, até para quem não quis jogar o primeiro jogo, a história é relativamente independente e da para curtir tanto quanto jogando o asylum. Portanto, apenas joguem essa obra de arte e curtam todos os detalhes desse jogo maravilhoso do início aos créditos!

Batman Arkham City is the follow-up to the fabulous Arkham Asylum. The world is bigger; there are more riddles, more randoms to fight and more baddies to beat down. The fighting system is still tight. It looks great, and the voice acting is second to **** why the 7? Well, Arkham City is bigger than Arkham Asylum, but it feels more sparse. It feels like someone just said, " Riddles? Moar! Baddies? Moar! People laughing at you when you die in an unskippable cutscene? Moar! Sometimes less is more people.Also, whoever decided to have the bad guys mock you when you die needs a kick in the nuts.

This game is a joke, I can complete it within 10 minutes and the story line isn't even that good. If you want to play a game for BEGINNGERS and KIDS play this game, but for SERIOUS GAMERS this isn't even worth the time. Don't waste the time on it unless you're either a kid or a beginner to gaming.
SummaryDeveloped by Rocksteady Studios, 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. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district ... Read More
