Batman hits HARD.

Perfect combat, perfect atmosphere, perfect story and an amazing Joker.

One of the greatest Superhero games of all time, not something you want to miss out on.

O melhor jogo que já joguei na minha vida, e o primeiro que zerei no meu Xbox 360. Não há comentários sobre esse jogo, apenas que ele pegou tudo que Batman Arkham Asylum fez, melhorou e traz a melhor história da saga e uma das melhores do universo Batman. Com um Coringa no seu auge de carisma e com uma grandeza absurda, se tratando de uma fodendo prisão a céu aberto que é maior que muita cidade de interior. Suas missões secundárias apesar de simples, trazem mais personagens tão bacanas do Batman que ficaram de fora da história principal. Eu já zerei esse jogo umas 16 vezes e só de comentar sobre ele quero zerar de novo. Obrigado Rocksteady.

An amazing sequel to an amazing game!

Batman: Arkham Asylum was a fantastic Batman game with fun gameplay, legendary voice actors and a lore heavy environment set deep in the Batman DC universe and the sequel was just as fantastic if not better!

Gameplay: Batman: Arkham City is a 3rd person, open world, Beat ‘em up, Action-Adventure Semi-RPG game taking place in a closed off section of Gotham City now called Arkham City. The combat works in different ways with a combo based, beat ’em up fighting style where you can strike combos and keep them going from enemy to enemy to get a higher rank and XP to unlock things, doing side missions and content also gives XP you use in a skill tree all of which see some improvements since the first game. Another big mechanic is stealth which has only gotten better and more fun to use this time around. Many gadgets and mechanics return like the Xray (Assassins Creed style Eagle Vision) mode that allows you to see enemies’ weapons and important things in the environment, but we also see the addition of some new gear like the freeze grenades or the improved grappling system. Batman unlocks a wide variety of satisfying gadgets to help him find collectibles and hidden areas along with fighting enemies and progress the story. Aside from the main story there are a bunch of side missions and quests to do with solving enemies’ storylines, saving people, doing challenges or doing Riddler trophies… which this time around they are a lot more intimidating and annoying to find with some having weird puzzles to solve and some being just flat out frustrating to get to. Riddler still has riddles to solve just like the first game, but they aren’t super difficult to figure out. I have done the Riddler challenges in all of these games and I can’t say why but I think I hated them the most in this game, they were so tedious and annoying. There are also some cool DLC expansions for this game like the Cat Woman side story that lets you play as Cat Woman and explains what she is doing while most of this game is going on. They also have a Harley Quinn storyline where you play as the 3rd Robin Tim Drake as he looks for Batman sometime after the events of the game. The Cat Woman one is cool and lets you freely switch between Batman and Cat Woman but the Harley one felt a bit short to me and more or less pointless, but it was still fun to play for sure.

Graphics, Voice Acting& Music: The graphics look great, and all of the environments are interesting and fun to explore and take in. There are A LOT of easter eggs and fun lore hidden everywhere making exploration very fun and satisfying. The voice cast from Arkham Asylum and the Batman Animated series returns and just like the first game are incredible with great performances from Kevin Conroy’s Batman and Mark Hamill’s Joker, this has to be one of my favorite comic book video game franchises I have ever played next to the Spiderman games. The music and environmental OST are pretty well done as well making the ambiance of each area and the Dark Knight come to life.

Story/ Minor Spoilers: The story goes much harder in this game than the first one where we see Batman at his most vulnerable with a conspiracy of different foes coming together to once again take down Batman. A lot of new villains we didn’t see in Asylum make an appearance here and add a new dynamic to the story that takes the player on a much more epic journey than the first game did. I don’t want to spoil much about the story, so I won’t say much because A LOT happens in this game that has huge impacts on the Arkham storyline. All I can say is that if you love DC, Batman, Comics or Beat em’ Up games you’ll probably love this one.

Not many Negatives I can say about this game. 9.5/10

Bom, que jogo sensacional senhores, esse jogo é tudo que um jogo do batman precisa, um mundo aberto insano, uma história que retrata muito bem os quadrinho do homem morcego, um gráfico pra lá de bonito pra aquela época ( lembrando que joguei no pc e não sei se tem uma diferença para a versão de console ), mas que jogo bom mano, as side quest desse jogo são insanas, o batman nesse jogo pelo amor de Deus, que coisa linda de ver, muito fiel aos quadrinhos, ele não é pra ser uma adaptação, até porque é um universo novo criado para o games e disso eu sei, tem até algumas hqs mas é bem mais focado nos games, e mesmo sendo um universo " novo " ( até porque tem o asylum ), o jogo é um jogo muito bom e muito bem escrito, a cena só coringa e todo os resto do jogo são impecáveis, a gameplay inovou mais do que já tinha no asylum, e são coisas muito boas ( diferente dos troféus do charada, te odeio cara ), esse jogo inovou muroo desde o asylum, tanto em história, gameplay, e gráfico, que jogo bom, não é atoa que marcou o mundo dos jogos como o asylum.

Nota: terminei o Origins e logo logo vou fazer review aqui, fiquem ligados.

Feliz ano novo para vocês, que em 2024 vocês joguem mais e mais, e se divirtam fazendo / jogando coisas que vocês gostam cada vez mais ❤️

Arkham City may seem familiar to asylum in some gameplay ways but the story and the open world opened this game and felt like a new phoenix, although I consider this game to be way easier than asylum if you play on normal or either easy and it was shorter with minus 2 hours compared to asylum for some reasons.

Gameplay
Like I said, this game has a decent open world but for 2011 it must have been amazing to have that. An open world full of side quests and still full-filled with riddlers trophies, but the best part of the game it must that now you can play with other other characters, like in the story with catwoman. The side content after you finish this game is kind of huge compared to asylum but for me I do love the atmosphere of asylum better than this game imo, but here you can fly up in the sky with your cape and yes the freeroam is way better here than asylum.

Story
Bruce Wayne, also batman was captured by Hugo Strange but the game actually starts with catwoman who is threatened by two face of public execution, batman is being held like a prisoner in arkham city. Our here manages to get out of the prison and track two face and rescue catwoman, but while he had a chat with her a sniper rifle was pointed at her and batman saw joker in a tower. Batman was threatened for exposure to the public but his main goal in the game is to defeat TYGER's soldiers that are being ruled by Hugo. Later on batman tracks down joker and goes into a chimney that leads him to harley, though easily beaten up our iconic antagonist shows up and makes batman go to sleep, after that catwoman adventures herself to ivy's location but she was trapped in the meantime. After batman escaped he was informed that injection was a virus remained from the last time joker became the titan at the end of asylum, and so batman knew he was on a clock and needed to find a cure quick, he was thinking that freezer is the only man who can help him make a dose for him but he finds out that he was trapped by cobblepot in the museum and he heads there but after he entered the museum he met penguin and he prepared a gladiator arena special for batman, but after our hero escaped death he heads straight but he was trapped by freezing water and he could not reach penguin but only by having a tactic, meanwhile he rescued an officer that requested batman to save his men as well. After that he finally reaches penguin but he got a trick, he stole freezer's gun and can't proceed without being hit by freezing ice. So batman head to the right side and found freezer, he didn't seem so happy at first but batman got his distruptor and was ready to fight penguin, but he was tricked again and batman was forced to go down and fight a TYGER infected soldier? idk what was that tbh, and manages to use electrify him till death, and penguin was dragged down there where he took some good fists coming from batman. After that he met with freezer, telling him that a cure cannot be made, and he needs a special type of blood to achieve the cure, batman had an idea to check up ra's ghul corpse to gather that blood, but an assassin heard what he said and ran out to tell the others, that female was from ra's ghul tribe and batman quickly promised that he will be back with the source of the cure. Tracking the blood trail he finds out an underground wonder city right below the subway station, when he opened the door batman met with talia, a girl he met in metropolis sometime ago and batman was already on a clock and sick. He was desperate to do anything to reach ra's ghul blood which was the father of talia, he needed to complete the demon trials and so he accepted and he met ra's soul in another dimension after he drank the chalice. After he completed the trial he finally met him but he was very angry because of the lazarous pit and he begged batman to kill him and he refused so he took him in a fight and after sometime ra's ghul decided to kill her own daughter but he came back to his senses and batman extracted his blood. After that he went to the police station where freezer was, something felt off about him for some reason and he became very angry and fought batman until he came back to normal, but it was too late... Joker took the cure and batman had to find him but there was 2 problems that had to be resolved, hugo's protocol 10 that literally kills everyone in arkham and his time limit about the virus that was injected in him by joker, so batman came back to fight joker but he was not alone, joker called for soldiers in the room even a mutant one and after all that fight the wall collapsed where batman stand, everything was almost over but talia came there out of nowhere and made a trade offer to joker about immorality so he accepted, back to catwoman after sometime with ivy, she promised that she will bring her flowers back to her if she let her free, ivy accepted and she had into the sewers where she silently took 3 keycards from the soldiers and got ivy's plant but she was discovered and had to fight the soldiers. After he finished her fight she had to make a choice, leave gotham and batman or save batman and then leave gotham, in my playthrough I decided to help batman so yeah. After she found batman he decided to leave catwoman alone because he had chase hugo strange, immediate he rushed to the clocktower where hugo was after fighting his thugs and successfully defused protocol 10, but then out of nowhere ra's ghul shows up and tells batman that he was the man behind protocol 10, he stabs hugo and threatens him but quickly he activated protocol 11 that destroys the high building. After batman survived the explosion he saw ra's body hanging, but right after that joker gets on a TV and threatens talia's life so he can make batman come to him and get the cure. In the last moments of the game you finally show up in the cinema where joker is and he transforms into clayface and kills talia. in the action to beat batman but he failed and the floor collapsed and batman took the sword and froze clayface and he directly went in him and sliced him up, then the game ends with joker dying and batman taking the cure and leaving with his corpse outside where everyone sees joker dead with the police as well. Right after the credits you play as the fourth mission and the final one of catwoman, where she leaves the city for good because batman took care of protocol 10 and unfortunately talia was killed but he took the cure , she head back to her apartament but she was shot in a explosion and got the information that twoface took her stuff, so she made into the museum and finished him off but without all of her stuff because twoface gave away some of it.
