The editors didn't like
The detecting aspects of the game are rather weak
It seems somewhat un-Batman-like to have to skulk in so many vents
The Riddler could have had a stronger voice
In stark contrast to the rest of the game
The boss fights arent very imaginative.
Too tempting to play through the entire game in detective vision mode
Supervillains that you dont get to fight feel like missed opportunities.
Abstract: Whew. Big day, eh? At 9 a.m., I published IGNs Batman: Arkham Asylum review, a couple hundred kids freaked out in the comments section, and the exclusive Joker Challenge Maps went live on the PlayStation Store this afternoon. Thats right; these eight...

Abstract: In the world of comic book videogames there is always one factor that will make or break the title in question; letting the player feel like their favourite hero. Spider Man 2: The Movie (the game), Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and the more recent X-Men ...
If it doesn’t quite eclipse the efforts of Naughty Dog and EA Redwood Shores, that’s because it sacrifices their streamlined focus and drum-tight design to offer the player something more. Rocksteady piles its plate high, and while it’s...

Abstract: So you've read about the Batman Arkham City Game of the Year Edition, and you've told yourself that you are going to buy it. What! You've never played Arkham Asylum? Perhaps you skimmed the reviews in 2009 when it came out. Maybe you overlooked the pre-pl...
Excellent pacing, Multiple gameplay styles, Great visuals, High production value, Best Batman game ever!
Cant start a second play through with all the power-ups from the first run
LongevityThe main story mode should go on for an easy 10-12 hours, depending on how you play it. There are some awesome Riddler puzzles spread through almost every level in the game, so you can actually spend good time exploring these for some cool unl...
