Batman: Arkham City for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The gameplay and visuals were astounding. THe story, writing and acting were fantastic: dark yet melodramatic. The controls were buttery smooth. Expansive open-world that revealed more as you progressed.

Short campaign. THe replayability was the most disappointing. The riddler challenge system was upgraded but I found it to be convoluted and difficult to use. Chasing down those stupid trophies only to find little progress made toward unlocking a new riddler hostage challenge. No new batsuit unlocked after playthrough: what's up with that? It would have been nice to be able to change the difficulty setting for the replay+ (i.e., the campaign replay w/ carry over upgrades, progress, etc). It's kind of a 0-sum gain when a fully upgraded Batman takes on more challenging enemies. And it's not like I have an incentive grind through since there's nothing left to upgrade at the next level-up. All I wanted to do was kick some butt with my new toys. See Dead Space 2 for replayability done right.

i had this game for more then 2 weeks, after which i wanted to buy it. definetly worth the time and effort.
