9.0 Presentation I think a few villains deserved more attention than they got here, but the story, the setting and the comic nerd love given to this game are awesome. 8.5 Graphics Some texture pop-in along with iffy lip syncing, but Arkham City looks great in a totally grimy, filthy way. Got to love Batman's costume breaking down over time. 9.0 Sound Mark Hamill's Joker and Kevin Conroy's Batman are out of this world. A bit too much of the same voice actor for generic thugs. Music and sound effects rock. 9.5 Gameplay I felt like Batman -- that's awesome. The majority of stuff will feel familiar, but from gadgets to gliding it's been tweaked and improved. 9.5 Lasting Appeal You need to play the game twice. Then, there are the side missions, the Riddler Challenges, the challenge maps and whatever DLC Rocksteady whips up. 9.5 OVERALL http://ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1199705p1.html

I liked 1st one, but combat as cool as it is, was way to easy. even on hard mode. I will be getting this after UC3 and LoZ SS.

Gamespot gave it a 9 as well.

I'm intrigued, and I want to check it out soon though I haven't played AA yet

I haven't seen any footage of Arkham City so I can't wait to play it. The scores it's getting are awesome too.

Arkham City isn't a PS3 exclusive so I don't think it really belongs here.

9.5/10 is a deserved score.
