Batman Arkham City - Thread

So, how good is this game? I'm wondering if this should be my next game to play after i'm done with skyrim.

One of the best games this year and in my top 5 games of all time!

I think it won the best action/adventure game of the year and best story line of the year (?)

The main difference between this one is that it is open world and not as linear as what arkham asylum is, at first I wasn't too keen on it, but I love it now! :D

If you want a game with a great story line, a bit different sometimes in terms of gameplay, great graphics and sound and amazing voice acting, great combat/gadgets system, a game where you actually feel like you are playing as batman then this is the game to get! :D

EDIT:

And you couldn't really judge batman AA on the demo, really needed to play more than what was offered.

And I would sort of recommend you to play AA first.

Cheers for that write up :) Gives me a little more idea if it is my thing. Shame the special offer has elapsed on steam now though :( Will keep an eye open for another deal I think.

No problem! :)

And if you can, try and get AA as well, well worthy of a full play through at least 2 times! I completed it fully 3 times or 4 I think :o :D


As I said before AA was truly out standing as we were all thinking "oh just another super hero game, which is going to be button smashing, crap story, same thing over and over again" etc. but boy, were we all wrong! :D :p

It surprised us all at just how great it was, I think it won best action/adventure game and some other awards as well.

Essentially AC isn't as outstanding as the first time you played AA, doesn't have that same WOW factor to it as AA did, as essentially eidos have taken the same approach in some ways towards AC and instead of vastly changing things (which was the right thing to do, as the saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"), they have improved upon everything from AA as I said before, the combat, graphics, story (is debatable though, some like the first better, some prefer the 2nd more, I personally think the second just edges it overall), gadgets, riddle trophy and challenges etc etc.
