What makes it so good anyway? Didn't really like the first one so I can't imagine that Arkham City is that much better.

It's worse, but depending on what exactly you didn't like about Asylum, you may like it more.

Go, then. There are other worlds than these.

Looking forward to finally getting to play Batroid Prime 2 for Christmas

To be fair, it only has like...20 reviews on the PS3 version. The 360 version is 94.74%, how terrible

--
It will launch for $350 with some Wii Sports s***. I bet my life on it. Damn, that KoolAid guy is awesome - NGamer64

yeah, PS3 reviewers are pushovers. GTA4 rates higher on PS3 too and it's not like that game was better on PS3.

I can't wait to get a new computer so I can finally give B:AA a fair chance, much less play B:AC.

What? It pretty much improved every good aspect about Arkham Asylum.

The only thing that AA has over AC is how fresh it was.

Brawl is like ZSS' breasts. Well rounded for casual players.

Yes now let the Xbox 360 version get up higher as well. (It has a 94.71 making the third highest game this year behind Batman: AC PS3 and Portal 2 PC).

Not really. The open-world lacked the focus and atmosphere that the asylum had and made Detective Mode even more of a necessity to make sure you weren't landing in one of the groups of snipers that seemed to respawn every time you stepped outside. The new gadgets felt kind of tacked-on (and I have no idea why the Ultra-Batclaw did not return, I loved it), the new combat and stealth maneuvers were mostly superfluous compared to the balance the original moveset had, and the predator rooms, to me, were not nearly as fun or well designed.

(predator rooms not as well designed? I guess you wanted more gargoyles)

It's barely open world and it has just as much detail to atmosphere as the first one.

Like did you even stand around and look at the stuff they had in wonder city? They went all out in places like that.

Not really sure what this means, considering Asylum was the one that actually restricted the gargoyles in the late game!

The indoor areas were (mostly) still great, but they felt too disconnected to me. But you're right, that's a little petty of me; I was primarily talking about the overworld.

It's barely open world

How so? It's big, every area is open to you from the beginning (I think, may be mistaken here) there are plenty of sidequests, and beyond the occasional timed segment you could do everything at your own pace. The variety is fun, but it also detracted from the pacing and the Metroid-style progression, which was one of my favorite parts of the original. Plus, the city is MUCH more dense than the asylum, which is neat at first but makes finding all the Riddler challenges a huge chore at times and, like I said, made me use Detective Vision much more often because the henchmen were often in such arbitrary places.

Whereas Arkham City had destroying Gargoyles as a standard mook reaction.

I really like Arkham City and all but "wow" thats a bit much!

omg did u red text from last night dats so me LMAO : )
im not a slut i jus liek 2 haev fun LOL : )

yeah I agree. Arkham City is really, really awesome but when you talk about it as being one of the greatest games ever created, it feels like it doesn't belong. it's not breaking new ground or redefining a platform like I think a game of the ever needs to.
