First of all, I don't own this game, and never have. So to complete it was quite a task. Secondly; I completed it on PS3. I own a 360. It was fun as hell to see how different Asylum were (On 360) to City (PS3) I've been in love with Batman: AA, since it's birth. Proudly telling tails of how good in it's class it is, and simply amazing (Much like a parent) it is all round. But, Arkham City was born. The "Better" and "More loved" child, some might say. I only got a chance at playing this when I offered to walk my cousin's dog's, as her fiancé owns the game. And so every weekend would head off with nothing else in my mind, other than Batman. Let me tell you, this game was worth the 12 pounds of dog poo I was shoveling a week. So, if you're contemplating buying it because you are strapped for cash.. buy it. It will pay for itself with fond memories of [spoiler alert]'s death and [spoiler alert]'s capture. First of all; the gameplay. I've never wanted more enemies to climb out of the wood works in all my life! You'll find yourself, at first, challenging 4-5 guys with a bit of a struggle. But by the end? You'll be fighting 10, 20, or 30 guys, many with body armor, taser sticks, knives, and guns. And you'll whoop their asses each time. Because this game makes you feel like the ultimate badass (As any Batman experience should). You run across rooftops with ease. Something many games have tried, and failed to implement. Your Batarang is a sharp, bat-shaped, claw-of-the-law. You'll start off with only a few weapons, but as most games do, you end up with more than can fit in your snug little utility belt.
Although AA was a cluster **** of all things beautiful, City seems to surpass it's older sibling, and butt **** the hell out of all things magnificent; in the looks department. I constantly found myself amazed, saying "Oh my god, look at how sexy Batman looks!" with nothing but heterosexual thoughts in mind. One thing these games are always strong in, is the story-line. Not only is everything else in the game top-notch, kick you in the crotch, fantastic, but so is the story! Something very rare to ever happen! They made a good looking, playing game, WITH an interesting, provocative, and cream pants inducing story! I believe that everyone should own this game. In short - It is amazing.
Never before have I loved something so much. That's including my long-term girlfriend. THAT'S RIGHT!
