This game is fantastic! I got the game from a friend and was really curious about the series. When i saw gameplay videos of the game, my biggest concern was the combat system: It seemed like it was optimized for controller play. I looked like it would be pretty hard and gamebreaking to play with mouse and keyboard (yes, i don't own an xbox controller). But damn i was wrong! When i played the intro battle, with catwoman, i was very pleased and surprised to find out how perfect i worked with mouse and controller.

The history takes you Arkham City, an encapsulated part of Gotham, which works as one huge prison. This is an open world game, and you can glide with your cape and swing your batarang all across Arkham City. The city is not huge, but it's big enough to not getting tired of the place. Throughout the mission you'll meet a lot off Gothams' classic super villains. Of course they all have their own charme, but no one beats the Joker, who plays a major role in the game.

The game's graphics looks great and makes Arkham City come to life (even better at 40-60FPS :P). However it's not Battlefield graphics, but still very beautiful and athmospheric. It is rarely i experience so fluent gameplay in a game, there is usually always some small bugs that annoys. But that is not the case with this game: Haven't experienced a single bug, glitch or anything. The game simply feels perfect.

Is this a game i would recommend? YES! The game was an absolute joy to play through, and i feel like i will return to it many times in the future.

As a gamer, this game stole my heart.

Actually this one (it's not Ian or Anthony playing;) Lasercorn and Jovenshire) is pretty funny. They even made some cosplay during some of the playthrough of Batman:)

Smosh? :spazhorror: i can't imagine them having a gaming channel without it being complete crap :/

Yup, but if you try wathing some of the videos from Smosh, you might find out whether or not this new game is something for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNZPH_yaCzw ... but, i haven't seen all of them, so i can't guarantee any spoilers:S

:O oh noes!
Well to be honest, even if it isn't a good to some people, i've been looking for an excuse just to get back into the game and the world it creates. As long as it's got the same bones of the last two and isn't a different structure all together i personally don't see myself minding to much. Thats pretty sad to hear though :/ a shame because it's such a good franchise.

Unfortunately the newest game is not made by Rock Steady, and the reviews tells that it does not live up to its predecessors:/

I agree, this franchise is great! i have yet to play the next one, hopefully it lives up to its name. (Good job on the review! :D:)
