Forums - Gaming - Batman: Arkham City review - 97% in GM, 'one of the greatest games ever'

CVG

The latest Batman: Arkham City review score to hit the net is from the issue 244 of Games Master and it's an absolute celebration of the Rocksteady sequel.

The mag's given Arkham City 97% but it's the words that really give an indication of just how special this game is.

Reviewer Rob Taylor urges readers to "revel in one of the greatest games ever conceived." He describes the combat as "near perfection" and "elevated to an entirely new level" while Arkham City as a location is "brooding and bloody massive.

Most excitingly though, the mag teases a "knockout ending" which of course (thankfully) is kept tightly under wraps.

Taylor concludes by proclaiming Batman: Arkham City to be, "brave, brutal, brilliant - the gold standard by which all future videogames should be judged."

Games Master isn't alone in its gushing though. The Batman: Arkham City review in German mag Play 3 ended with a score of 92 percent and praise calling the sequel "The best superhero game ever made."

Similarly OPM in Australia ended its Batman: Arkham City review with the full 10 and agreed with Games Master calling it "one of the best games ever made".

You got to admit though Dr. That this should be at the top of many lists!


I would think so!

Actually I was referring to my own predicament. Financially and time wise this holiday season is a disaster.



Maybe I should get this instead of Battlefield 3...

Arkham Asylum is already in my top 3 games of all time, So these reviews are making me happy in the trousers.

Man I can't wait til' the 18th!

I'm going to wait for more reviews to come in before I go look into getting this game.



This franchise seems to be following the rule of the Uncharted franchise, where the second game not only is the better one, but is received with insane levels of hype

I'm beginning to think i discounted it significantly in the Metacritic Prediction League



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Great. Arkham Asylum was my 2009 game of the year, so this is a MUST buy for me. I'm going to get the collector's edition.



Batman collector's edition is 50,85 UKP at Hut. Just enter the code BAT4 at basket (54.85-4).

Looks like it's gonna be a close race for GOTY between Batman, Dark Souls, & Skyward Sword.
