Fantastic video game. Top to bottom this was an amazing experience. You get a good story, a great cast of villains, fantastic gameplay, all in a prison city made just for you (and a bunch of criminals, I guess) A very very good way to follow-up the first game, it builds on literally everything from the first game. The whole game feels so alive.

The gameplay is improved from Arkham Asylum, more toys to play with, more ways to defeat enemies. The backtracking still exists but it's nowhere near as bad as the first game is in that regard. You get a challenge mode where you can play as Batman, Catwoman (one of the sexiest characters in a game), Robin or Nightwing. Fun to mess around it cause I like to fight random enemies sometimes.

Only real complaint is that you need to get 400 fucking Riddler trophies to finish all the sidequests, I don't mind collectibles but this is ridiculous. Wish there were other things in the game to do instead of 440 Riddler challenges. Final boss was a slight disappointment as well.

Overall it was an outstanding experience and one of the best comic video games ever made. A must-play, even if you don't like comicbooks.
