Arkham City, the sequel to the 2009 hit 'Arkham Asylum' provides a unique and atmospheric setting that builds upon its predecessor in every single way. Keeping its much loved Unreal Engine from the first game, which provides an elegant yet simple fighting style that gives you satisfaction every time you lay the hurt on a group of thugs. And this even makes you feel as though you are stepping into Batman's shoes. Another integral part of Batman's armoury is his gadgets: batarang, freeze blast, explosive gel and many more gadgets appear. All of which are fun to use and make you feel like a total and utter badass. Then there's the story, credit to Sefton Hill and the creative team at Rocksteady who have created an immersive and truly intense world and a deep story with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. The voice acting really completes the story with voice acting genius Mark Hamill's last performance as The Joker being one of his best, and Kevin Conroy giving a strong believable performance as Batman. Arkham City really ups its game with characters and for the first time in the Arkham franchise we see the likes of Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Two-Face and even Ra's al Ghul and a few more surprises in the new side mission feature which fits hand in hand with the story perfectly. Overall, Arkham City is without doubt the finest super hero game in history without question, with a simple elegant fighting system and an immersive world and story. This is one for the ages.
