The best Batman game.

User Rating: 10 | Batman: Arkham City PC

The best Batman game so far. Better than Arkham Asylum in every way possible: better graphics, a better soundtrack, a better story, a deeper gameplay, more content, a better replay value, etc. Arkham City is a masterpiece of the genre -if only the movies were like that. I really don't think the team of Batman Arkham Origins will be able to surpass AC without doing it repetitive.

The gameplay clearly can't be upgraded, it's smooth, intuitive and not-so-easy at an higher level (New Game+). Same observation about the graphics, with the Unreal Engine 3 at its best. Strangely I encountered problems on DX11 (low fps, freezes sometimes) with a Sapphire HD 7770 OC Edition Vapor X, but nothing with a Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan. AMD drivers or power of the card? I don't know, but it can be a little irritating, even if the DX9 version is impressive. Finally, the story... The main "quest" is immersive, but what I liked more were the secondary missions, the objectives, and even the riddler challenges! A lot and a lot content: incredible.

I've played 42 hours and I don't get bored at all. 10/10, because not only is it the best batman game ever, but also the best action/adventure game of this generation. Batman: AC surpassed everything that could be done with the genre. A must-have.

    The more I play it, the more I need it.

    At first I thought this was a same old thing as Arkham Asylum, but as I became more immersed in the game and it got tougher to beat each Boss, I became addicted. Too many gamers seem to want more flash than substance. Wh... Read Full Review
