"Great looking game, but....."
3 stars"

The lag and poor frame rate is hideous to say the least. The games environment and design is nice. It's a bit disappointing when the previous games were so good. :( I really hope they can fix these issues.

"Great game that comes with unusable dlc"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I LOVE this game, however, when it arrived I was surprised to see some dlc codes in the case. This, of course, made me pretty excited but when I tried to enter them into ps store the codes where INVALID! After looking further I noticed that they were Chinese codes. This was very disappointing. If you are going to put dlc code into the case that aren't even for NZ then don't put them in at all.

"Average Origins"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The games' reputation for being buggy and unstable is well deserved. The game freezes up early and often. More of the same from Asylum and City, but with some unecessary tweaks and adjustments. Glimpses of a fun game can be seen at times, but generally falls short.

Get it if you're hungry for more Arkham action and can't wait for Arkham Knight, but be warned it may leave you feeling disatisfied and wanting more.

Not the most innovative game but if you love Arkham City and Arkham Asylum, you'll love this.

"Story is awesome"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Dont believe what most people online are saying, the simple fact that this game makes you feel like the bat, and has a really good story should be the only reason you need to play it. Lots of challenges, and multi 2, although havent gotten round to that.

"Great game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is packed full of references to the DC universe, much like the other Batman games, which are great fun to hunt for and spot. Playing this game before playing Arkham Asylum makes me look forward to Arkham Asylum and how it will continue. Anxiously awaiting Arkham Knight now. Overall, great game, great graphics and great story line.

"More of the same - But needs some original ideas..."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I'm a huge fan of the previous two games, just love the combat system and the cinematic way of telling batman's stories. Yet this third installment just feels like something off the conveyor belt… Sure if you enjoyed the previous two, you won't un-enjoy this one, but I think I was hoping for a few more lateral ideas, a bit of original thinking to breath a bit of life into the game. Even character development is limited… Like, we're still fighting the same villains, albeit slightly younger versions, but contradicting the ‘Origins’ title, we don't actually get involved in how the villains came to be, as I'm sure many of us were hoping. In summary, buy it if you liked the previous two and to avoid disappointment perceive it like a ‘part 2 of Arkham City’ instead of being a whole new title.

"Ok game, not better than Arkham City"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Overall not a bad game, but not better than Arkham City in overall feel.

"Amazing!!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The game overall is great with plenty of side missions to keep you busy. One little thing that annoys me is that a lot of the main missions I felt like I've done them before as they so closely mirror Arkham City. So it doesn't feel as ‘new’ as I'd like it to be but still amazing none the less!!

If they made this one first in the series then Arkham Asylum would of been better . This one was fun and great to play .

"Fun but frustrating"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Lagging visuals, sound that drops out, missing dialogue. This game is still fun but the constant little issues really add up.

"Happy but DLC Code is invalid :("
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Really worth to buy for $12 and it's brand-new product. It came with two redeem code vouchers. One for Knight pack and other code is for 5 maps to download. But unfortunately, when I tried to enter the code it shows “The code is Invalid”

An apple not far from the tree. Basically the same as the rest but still fun.

"More of the same isn't a bad thing!!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

When I first heard that they were making a third Batman Arkham game I was thrilled, both the previous two had been great fun to play! I held off purchasing the collectors edition (that looked fantastic!) and bought this once it had dropped in price. A decision I'm now happy about, not to say there is anything wrong with the game..... Everything you loved from the first two is still there (mostly!) free flow combat is still fun and detective mode gives you a different look at the city. The thing that lowered this game in my eyes was the boss fights, from first to last they were the same repetitive thugs then special attack, more thugs, special attack, rinse repeat! The boss fights that did vary, unlike Mr freeze ( from Arkham city (Cool fight!!)) were more frustrating than challenging!! Overall however, I did enjoy the majority of the game; the story is enjoyable, there are heaps of puzzels and hidden treasure to keep the completionist in me happy and with 3 playthrough modes replay value is guaranteed, assuming you have the determination to keep Countering Deadshot!

"Great addition to franchise"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you played Arkham City or Arkham Asylum, then you sort of know what to expect. Game is very much the same as previous titles with a few tweaks to a few things. The detective mode has changed a little bit. for the better in my opinion. also the boss fights in this game are epic.

"Brilliant game, kept the boys occupied for hours."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For a change a game that combines the need to be stealthy with the need to fight. Had my boys trying to work out ways they could get through particular puzzles in ways that gave them upgrades. Still working through some of the side missions.

"If you like city you'll like this"
4 stars"

It's more or less the same as Arkham City (which is a great game so thats not bad), the story is better this time around, if the batman universe is at all interesting to you then this game is a really good one to play although you might be a bit tired of the series by now.
