![]() The only load screens you’ll see come up when you transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Unlike Asylum‘s relatively small outdoor areas separating the different mission spaces, Arkham City delivers a proper open world. If there’s any surprise, it’s the sequel’s dramatically enlarged scope. ![]() The Joker is of course a returning villain and the Riddler is up to his old tricks - albeit in a much more expanded role - but most of the ugly mugs you’ll be beating into submission as the story unfolds weren’t seen in the first game. The worst of the worst criminals can be found here, which amount to roughly everyone in the Batman rogue’s gallery. The new game’s story finds Gotham’s Dark Knight exploring the confines of Arkham City, an open-air prison built into a walled-off, crumbling section of the city. I’m basically here to confirm what you already knew: Arkham City, for any of its minor warts or shortfalls, is easily a Game of the Year contender. You were sold on the game long before you clicked into this review. You know its 2009 predecessor Batman: Arkham Asylum was stellar, and that this sequel’s more open world and diverse array of characters is a step forward. Bear in mind, that’s not a recommendation. I’m going to make this really, really easy for you: If you like video games with solid action and vividly detailed 3D worlds, you’re going to be buying Batman: Arkham City.
