Arkham City is everything that Arkham Asylum was but improved in almost every way. Rocksteady kept true to their excellent action, stealth, gadgetry and puzzle-solving formula and made improvements only where they were needed. The freeflow combat and silent predator systems also make a welcome comeback. Where Arkham Asylum was a bit more rigid in it's story telling, Arkham City makes the improvement of creating a more open world and adding well-integrated side missions that have some meaning to the main story and makes the game feel less linear. Again the voice acting is top-notch and the pacing and progression of the story is a high-point of this title.
Batman Arkham City is bigger and better than Arkham Asylum. Almost as soon as you enter Arkham City you have the freedom to go anywhere within it. The game has a lot more freedom of movement than Arkham Asylum - you'll be flying from rooftop to rooftop to get to where the villains are. The combat is more or less the same as the first game, though you can unlock several new combat moves by leveling up. You level up by beating up criminals and doing missions. The missions range from fighting mobs of enemies or a boss and doing detective work to solve crimes. There are also riddler trophies you can collect by doing various puzzles. One of the best aspects of this game are the boss fights. Each and every one of them are fun and memorable (except for Bane). My favorite one has to be the Mr. Freeze boss fight - you have to use a different takedown method each time to deal damage to him. OVERALL RATING: Exceptionally Great! PROS: It looks good Good combat system Great voice acting Very good and unique boss fights Gag / ungag Harley Quinn CONS: Minor bugs Grappling onto rooftops is a bit clunky The Bane boss fight is severely underwhelming
