Critic Reviews
- Arkham City can still stand shoulder to shoulder with any modern AAA open-world game, and even though you've got to contend with some unfortunate stutters from time to time, and it doesn't look nearly as good here as it does on other platforms, this is still the full-fat experience running rather well all things considered. If you've yet to experience this one it's another must-play.
PJ O’Reilly · Dec 09, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Batman games are like pizza: even when they’re not very good, they’re still pretty good. Next to Arkham City, Arkham Origins is a bit of a disappointment in its lack of new ideas and use of win buttons, making it the least interesting of the trilogy. But as excuses to dive back into the excellent free-flowing combat and predator takedowns go, this story isn’t bad.
Dan Stapleton · Oct 25, 2013 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It doesn't take the world's greatest detective to spot that this is an expertly crafted adventure, one that maintains a breathtaking pace and invigorating rhythm from beginning to end. Dizzyingly extensive and lovingly detailed, Rocksteady has created an intricate, spirited and unequalled playground worthy of one of the most iconic characters in modern fiction.
Martin Gaston · Oct 14, 2013 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Whilst it’ll take weeks to complete all of the Riddler challenges alone, with all downloadable content included on the disc there’s plenty to keep you occupied beyond completion of the main storyline too. All Batman skins are available to you, throwing references to variances of the character’s design over the years, as well as Challenge Map packs and Harley Quinn’s Revenge, which is a story-based expansion that takes place two weeks after the conclusion of the game.
Alex Seedhouse · Dec 18, 2012 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - If you've already played through the entirety of the game and its DLC, chances are the gamepad functionality won't sway you to re-purchase Arkham City. However, for Nintendo purists who have up until now only had a Wii, or perhaps anyone living under a rock and didn't get to experience Arkham City the first time around, Armored Edition is the complete and definitive version that's currently on the market.
Mike Splechta · Dec 12, 2012 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Frame rate issues aside, the incorporation of GamePad controls makes this feel like a natural experience, almost as though the game was originally made with Wii U in mind. Any fans of Batman will have a blast taking control of the Dark Knight and knocking out classic baddies, and anyone else just looking for a great action adventure game will be satisfied as well. With a relatively lengthy campaign and loads of extra content, this one ensures that gamers will practically be able to play as Batman forever.
Ron DelVillano · Dec 11, 2012 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - If you have yet to experience Batman: Arkham City on the Xbox 360 and PS3, then Batman: Arkham City – Armored Edition is a no brainer purchase; yet, if you have already ventured a few rounds with the cape crusader through this adventure on a previous console than I have a hard time recommending the $50 plunge.
Trevor Houston · Dec 06, 2012 Reviewed onRead full review - A lot of people are saying that Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition is only a worthwhile purchase for those who haven't previously played it. I will only agree to that supposition for those gamers who’ve already purchased all the DLC or have picked up the Game of the Year Edition. But if you've only played through the original campaign, the Wii U version should be on your gift list. Even if you don't play Batman's story again, just the extra content is enough to justify the purchase.
Sean Engemann · Dec 03, 2012 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Armored Edition comes with all the pre-existing DLC as part of the game, and the player can jump right into Harley Quinn's Revenge from the start screen. This, plus the awesome immersion of the Wii U Gamepad makes it so, I can't imagine wanting to play this incredible game on any other system.
Blake Peterson · Nov 27, 2012 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - From the speedy exhilaration of soaring high above the streets to the atmospheric thrill of discovering long-forgotten secrets in the tunnels below Gotham, this is an unforgettable adventure that will keep you coming back to the cape and cowl long after you've seen the credits roll.
