"Amazing!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was sceptical at first after I played it on PS3 as I didn't like it. But I decided to bite the bullet and get it on PC, which I did not regret. Is definitely a great improvement over the last only down side is the character development is rather short since they try to cram to many villains in. All in all it is a great game with some amazing graphics (Definitely use PhysX with this).

"GWFL + SecuROM, can't even play"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Not only does this game require the divisive GWFL it also has SecuROM that does both a release date check and an anti-emulation check. For me this means I can't even play the game as the DVD drive on my desktop broke and I've been using images (made on my laptop) to play.

I guess I'll wait for a No CD crack because otherwise I just bought two coasters and some bits of paper.

"DO NOT BUY - Does not work"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game does not work. Do not buy it. It hasn't worked for years. Why Mighty Ape is selling a game that doesn't work is beyond me.

Microsoft's Windows Live Games was discontinued years ago and so the activation key for this game was moved to Steam, except for the last 2 years Steam doesn't allow activation for this game either.

"Whaoh!!"

What a game all that fighting and different skins and open maps. Sure it's a must have

"Batman at its best"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Battle the classic villains of gotham city in Batman: Arkham City. Play as the dark knight as he battles through Arkham City, the maximum security home of all the villains that Gotham has to offer.

"Runs sweet with my xfire set up and enjoying it"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I think being able to set the graphics to maximum setting sold me on this. Its such a nice looking game, that offers one big world to play in, bat style

"Holy beat-down, Batman!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you loved Arkham city, this offers more of the same. More epic flying, more gritty dark knight dialogue, more Mark Hamill and most importantly, more spectacular fights against mobs of thugs and super-villains.

This game is more innovative than Arkham city without being too bloated. Where the previous game's boss fights frequently just resorted to fighting big monster who could be relied on to brain themselves on walls with minimal input, each of AC's bosses is original and challenging.

An excellent game all round.

"Awesome game"

Cant stop playing this brilliant game

"Much better than AA."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The biggest gripe I had about Arkham Asylum was that the combat was iffy a lot of the time. Batman just wouldn't do what you told him to do, and the hit boxes were really messed up. Arkham City still has issues with the combat, like sometimes Batman will grapple the wrong person etc. but it is much more refined than Arkham Asylum. I would definitely recommend this as a buy as it is very fin to play, and it is one of the few games that really make you feel like you are the character.

"This game rocks!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is fantastic. The dark setting of the game is captured in such a way that compels you to “turn another page” and find out what happens next. The entire story is brilliant, combat is excellent and the inclusion of a playable Catwoman is the icing on the cake. She is rendered very well. This game is worth every cent. After completion you can play on “Gameplus” that removes a lot of the help such as warning when enemies attack, extending the replayability. You won't clock this in one or two sittings.

"Best Superhero Game to date!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is an amazing game. Any Batman fan will love this game, even though it has an original story. The story is thrilling and fun to play through, and the challenge maps create awesome combat and stealth experiences. This is a game that will definitely get people addicted to Batman!

Aside from being a little difficult to control using the keyboard and mouse (I prefer to use a controller), the control scheme, especially for combat, is well thought out and looks brilliant

Recommended for any fan of gaming
