"I'M BATMAN".. no really, after playing this you really will feel the part. Can't wait for the sequel!

The number one thing people want to get from playing a superhero themed game is the sense that they are the hero.

This game makes you feel like Batman. Everything from the use of gadgets and complex puzzles to brawling combat and Gothic atmosphere, do the trick nicely.

Many of your favorite villains are here, and nods to some that aren't (see you in the sequel). Furthermore, you'll receive rich lore with the discovery of hidden items throughout, which is great for those who haven't read every comic book.

Through the use of well placed cut scenes and amazing voice work, you sucked in to the game like a blockbuster hit movie.

Awesome combat, fun side quests requiring detective work, cool boss fights and challenge modes keep you coming back again and again.

I hope all the other developers are taking notes, because this is the template for which future superhero games should be made.

BRING ON ARKHAM CITY!
