About this product

Product Information

Developer Rocksteady Studios returns players to its dark vision of Gotham, where the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane has been replaced with a walled-off expanse of city streets and abandoned buildings, ruled only by deadly mad anarchy. From a familiar third-person perspective, players resume the single-player role of Batman, for missions of infiltration, assault, recovery, and rescue. Gruesomely outnumbered, the hero's survival still relies largely on stealthy ninja tactics, although open environments occasionally call for cape-aided hang-gliding or grappling-hook acrobatics.<br><br>Although the territory of the new Arkham City is nearly five times larger than the old asylum grounds, Batman's path is sometimes limited by outbursts of gang warfare, usually best avoided. The game also regularly presents puzzles for the Dark Knight to solve, in the gadget-enhanced "Detective Mode." The combat system has been refined, allowing Batman to counter attacks from multiple opponents at once, and to access his gadgets in the middle of a fight.<br><br>Set only a year after the events of Arkham Asylum, the game's story begins with Quincy Sharp, the former warden who is now mayor of Gotham City. His plan -- to shut down the asylum, move the inmates to a walled in section of city slums, and hire private security to guard the new borders -- has created a zone of pure lawlessness in the heart of Gotham. It is a city within a city, where inmates are free to roam the streets, stealing and killing as they wish, so long as they do not attempt to escape.<br><br>Control of this urban wasteland is now contested by two rival gangs: one led by the Joker, with the help of Harley Quinn, and the other by Two Face, who has called for the public execution of Catwoman, much to the delight of the other bloodthirsty residents. Side-stories involve more of Arkham's most famously devious and demented recidivists, including Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Poison Ivy, and the Riddler. Kevin Conroy again voices Batman, with Mark Hamill as the Joker.<br><br>This "Game of the Year Edition" offers Xbox 360 players the full original game, "Harley Quinn's Revenge" DLC, and a variety of other DLC packs, adding seven new maps, three playable characters, and 12 new skins in all.

  • Great game

    An excellent game, way better than the first one, and the first was great too. There's a lot of stuff to do in the game, and Batman has all kinds of abilities and gadgets available to him. You can be very inventive with the way you use them all. The controls are easy to learn but don't become boring. The graphics are terrific. You can play as several different characters (Batman and Catwoman, and Robin and Nightwing if you get the DLC) with different movesets, abilities and gadgets. An easy 5 star rating for this game

  • Amazing game that fills my heart with happiness

    The pros are that I grew up with this game from age 10 to now I always have a special spot for this game also because of my aunt's passing but since I lost my origanal copy I have been wanting to get another copy. But here comes the cons since I don't have the stuff I bought 8 days ago I came to realize I don't have my package which is this game and I am sad.

  • Ridiculously Great

    I purchased this game for $3.50 with free shipping. I wasn’t expecting much at all by the means of anything. I ordered the game with 2 others that I wanted. This was expected to arrive about a week after the other two. Instead, I got this first, within just a couple days of ordering. The packaging was well done and secure too. For $3.50, you can’t beat this. I 110% recommend this to anyone who’s even considering it.

  • Arkham city

    Arguably the best comic book game ever made. If comic books and super heroes aren’t your thing, consider gta gameplay in reverse: you take the role of a good guy in a city heavily populated with criminals(90%) and you beat them up, interrogate, and detain them.

  • nananana Batman

    Batman gets the best beatdowns in this game can also play as Catwoman in some parts. Intriguing story line but i feel the mystery gives itself away a little early.

  • Fun and jam-packed storyline

    Most engrossing Batman game ever. From the combat mechanics to the detective aspects, you gain the sense of what it is to be Batman in Arkham city. Just wish the batmobile was incorporated somehow.
