Batman Arkham City is probably the greatest super hero game ever made and a staple of action video games. The world is dark and gritty while never being afraid to have fun with itself; the boss battles are really fun, Mr. Freeze and Clayface being standouts, the locations are detailed and filled with little things that will make any Batman fan happy (Old Gotham is absolutely amazing), the score is so good, the combat is simple but gratifying, and the stealth sections make you feel extremely cool. Despite how great most of this game is, I still have some issues. The side missions are very underwhelming, often just boiling down to doing the same thing like 4 or 5 times and then an actual encounter with the villain that's usually over far too quickly. The Catwoman sections that were added in after the fact through DLC, and mind you, can't be turned off, also just kinda ruin the pacing. Another problem is The Riddler. I have never and I will never fight that guy in any of the Arkham games. It's so lame having to go around the city, collecting trophies and solving riddles, and beyond that the trophies look fucking ugly and often ruin the feel of the world when you come across them. Lastly the story tries to do too many things. It crams in so many villains and characters that you spend very little time with any of them. It's a fun video game story, but put it in a movie and it won't do.
