About This Game Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players flying through the expansive Arkham City - five times larger than the game world in Batman: Arkham Asylum - the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Featuring an incredible Rogues Gallery of Gotham City's most dangerous criminals including Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze and many others, the game allows players to genuinely experience what it feels like to be The Dark Knight delivering justice on the streets of Gotham City.

Interactive Entertainment, Feral Interactive (Mac)Release Date: 7 Sep, 2012 Download Batman: Arkham City - Game Of The Year Edition It's the goddamn Batman!. Wow. This is how an action game is done. The Freeflow combat mechanic is phenomenal and makes for a perfectly stylized combat system.Though I don't follow comics, the world is beautifully crafted and seems right up the ally of the protagonist. Attempting 100% completion can lead to a couple frustrations, but aside from that, this game is shack! ** 86\/100 **. It makes you feel like you're batman. I didn't want to buy this game (and the rest of the series) because of it's console character and terrible mechanics, but as a DC fan I finally faltered and bought it on a discount. At first I thought it's actualy better than the garbage I expected it to be, but after doing all the challenges (4 times...) I hate this game even more than before I bought it. Overall it's not bad, but the controls are so terribly infuriating, I wish I had the disc so I could destroy it. 1 button does 10 different things, sometimes it depends on a situation, and sometimes it changes the moment you want to use it and it does something completely different ultimately making it impossible to finish the challenge and having to complete 2 previous challenges again as well, not because you made a mistake but because the game has idiotic controls. And changing it to something less \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665? Good luck, you can change it from outside of the game but the same button will still be used for 10 different things, just not the same button as before.STOP PORTING CONSOLE GAMES TO PC!. Batman: Arkham City is the high point of the Arkham franchise. The characters, the atmosphere, the story, the combat, the music, the visuals – all come together in a way that few other games achieve. Marred by some performance issues on PC (turning off DX11 features fixes most of the issues). If Batman has a place in your fandom, Arkham City has a place in your game library.Total size on my hard-drive (GOTY): 19GBYou can view the opening of the game here.+ All of Gotham’s criminals have been thrown into an old, walled-off section of the city. A great excuse to bring the entire rogue’s gallery together. Exactly who brought this about and how? There’s your story. Simple but effective. (Like Arkham Asylum, the story is the creation of Paul Dini, who was a major part of the classic ‘90s TV show, Batman: The Animated Series.)+ Batman, Robin, Catwoman, Hugo Strange, Penguin, Two-Face, Joker – there are many characters packed into Arkham City, all of them superbly voice-acted and visually realized. In addition to Kevin Conroy (as Batman) and Mark Hamill (as the Joker), Grey DeLisle brings perfection to Catwoman.+ Great world design. Though not as large as Arkham Origins or the follow-up Arkham Knight, Arkham City is full of rooftops and shadowy corners that bear exploring. A number of buildings can be entered, bringing another dimension to the exploration (entering buildings is not seamless though - there is a loading screen).+ The visuals look fantastic, if occasionally low-res. Light-shafts and shadows are particularly well-rendered, which play to Arkham City’s strengths. Lip-synch occasionally has issues.+ Ambient sounds of crunching snow, wind and waves are enhanced by superb mood music and deep shadows everywhere. Finding the best brightness setting for your eyes can be tricky, but there’s no denying the atmosphere.+ Soundtrack is superb. In contrast to Arkham Asylum’s more moody music, Arkham City immediately goes for an unabashed heroic feel. While the big heroic tracks are most obvious, the quieter tracks wonderfully fill the poignant silences.+ The best combat of any of the Arkham games. Easy to understand, difficult to master.+ Catwoman is playable in the open world. Awesome.+ A nice selection of challenge maps that add playable Catwoman, Robin and Nightwing, each with their own combat styles and moves.+ Harley Quinn’s Revenge DLC is included, and is a good two hours of supplemental gameplay material that happens post-campaign.+ The GOTY edition includes everything – all DLC, skin packs, and challenge map packs.+/- The Catwoman DLC has been folded into the main story campaign. Can create some jarring moments when Batman is at a crucial plot point, and the cut-scene switches the story to Catwoman.- Performance on the PC is spotty, even now. Try cranking all the settings up, and the benchmark will run without issue, but the game will be plagued by stutter, both in the pre-rendered cutscenes (a video streaming issue) and in-game as the game-world loads in. I installed Arkham City to my SSD drive, I have a Haswell Core i5, 16GB of ram and an RX 470. My system is not the issue. Search the forums and you’ll find many complaints about cut-scene stutter and generally poor stream-in performance. Turn off DX11 graphical features and most of the problems disappear. Still have some issues with initial load-in stutter, but otherwise the issues were resolved. Maybe you won’t have issues if you’re on Nvidia instead of Radeon, but don’t be surprised if you do.- Frame-rate is capped at 62 by default. Altering a config file reveals the real fps limit to be around 200.Without the technical concerns, Arkham City wouldn’t just be a near-perfect Batman game, but one of the best games ever made. Still, the technical concerns are assuaged by the fact that Arkham City frequently discounts to $5 (or less!) during sales, where it offers incredible value. Heartily recommended.. You should play this if you like punching people in the face in a beautifully orchestrated ballet of third person shadowy vigilante violence. With big ears.
