Excellent graphics for the time and strong atmosphere ruined by a mediocre plot that doesn't play to the strengths of the Batman mythos, and sidequests that are mostly fetch quests. Too long.
«Disappointment of the year»
«Waste of time»
Less focused than Arkham Asylum, but still a fantastic sequel with a solid ending.
The map is expansive and filled with content, the story is fantastic and Rocksteady improved on the mediocre boss fights from Asylum.

Arkham Asylum was really great in lot of aspects. Arkham City is even greater. Everything that was good in AA is just as perfect in AC, plus there's ton of new stuff, each one more interesting than the other. Joker, Penguin, Ra's Al Ghul, entire plot, it's ending, freedom of movement... Great, great game.
Great sequel that adds onto everything from the first game, except the story, not as good as Asylum, however its pretty good.

Arkham Asylum, but outside.
Better bosses than Asylum, but the map is too unfocused
Best Batman game I've ever played.

«That ending!»
Very special game to me. I don't think that any game can ever replace this game as my favorite due to how dearly I hold it to me. I have played this the most out of all the games I have ever played, and I think it still holds up very well even in todays climate of games. Never fails to bring me joy and memories.
