Arkham City gave us the best interactive experience as the dark knight to date. Rocksteady brought to life what it felts like go be the batman in its original game Arkham Asylum. Using an artistic colour palette the game was visually stunning on levels never seen in the comic/video game cross-over.
So what followed was Arkham City which took gaming to places this generation had never experienced before, well, certainly not in a Batman game anyway. The catalogue of villains from the rogue gallery, the array of characters all in one place had never been put into one story and never been quite this satisfying. From The Riddlers problem solving riddles, to Victor Zsasz beat the clock phone calls, Deadshot taking innocence out with a sniper and of course the identity theft to name a few; batman really does have his work cut out!
Then main story consists of Hugo Strange controlling the segregated City of Arkham containing all the criminal element in a section of gotham. Uncovering what is really gone on here is all part of the fun, alongside the chaos caused by a dying, yes, dying Joker! Add a cold winter into the mix which can only mean a freeze is coming!! In the name of Victor Fries who might have the cure to the titan fomula carried over from the previous game. Then you have Oswald Cobblepot aka the Penguin up to his usual, building his emperor in the museum collecting various items of what he considers value. From Ras Al Ghul to Batman's most trusted sidekick this game really has it all.
Further down the line if you are able to purchase the DLC you also get a story as the playable character catwoman coinciding with her own story that will inevitably link up with batman toward the conclusion. I strongly recommend this as it gives the game more layers and is a neat little added bonus.
All in all this is the best batman game of all time and not to be ignored if you are an avid batman fan.
