Product Description

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. The game features an unique combination of melee combat, stealth, investigative and speed-based challenge gameplay. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great game, cool extras, one big gripe for double dippers December 12, 2012

I love this game. It's one of the best you can get on the ps3. I bought it right away when it was released and played the heck out of it. I didn't end up springing for any of the DLC because I don't have a reliable high speed internet connection where I'm currently living. So I was very excited when they released this game of the year edition with all of the previous DLC content on disc. I was able to pick this up as a gold box deal with the plan to gift my old standard copy to my brother. I was very excited to play the extra content. BIG WARNING FOR DOUBLE DIPPERS: THIS GAME WILL NOT SYNC UP WITH YOUR ARKHAM CITY(STANDARD EDITION) GAME SAVES. It creates a whole different set of save files. Very annoying for someone who has already sunk myriad hours into the game to have to start over at 0%. Worked out great for my brother though, because I couldn't wrap my head around playing this game all over again from scratch so I gifted him the GOTY version instead(after I sampled some of the content playing as a non upgraded Batman or course). Overall this game is amazing, and if you haven't purchased it yet then this is the best one to get. However, if you are considering double dipping, be forewarned that you will be starting over completely from scratch at 0%.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Game May 29, 2012

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Arkham City is a DEFINITE MUST PLAY experience. If you have never picked up the original then this is DEFINITELY the version to get. As legendary as Arkham City was, there were definitely problems with disc reading and data corruption that will all be likely fixed in the Game of the Year Edition. It is an amazing game and has so much to do and so much more depth than it seems at first glance. The Game of the Year edition is a must buy if you skipped out on the original version because buying the Nightwing, Robin, Catwoman, Skins, Batcave and Harley's Revenge packs can be slightly expensive. As great as the game is, the riddler's revenge campaigns and predator missions can be a little tricky. Getting the missions requires pretty specific routes that are hard to figure out on your own, but if you check out some YouTube videos it'll give you a good foundation in defeating these stages. Regardless, the Riddlers Revenge challenge maps are still fantastic. They also could have also taken some bigger risks with the side mission villains. With some of the side missions they could have had some intense boss battles but instead they have it end with a push of a button. Regardless the side missions are still pretty cool.
Once again, if you have never played this game then definitely pick this edition up. It's by far one of the GREATEST games ever made. Can't wait for the third one.

P.S. Harleys Revenge is a perfect ending to the Arkham City storyline which even more makes the Game of the Year edition a better purchase than the original one.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE: Batman Year One Download No Longer Included. November 26, 2012

5 Stars for game+content. 1 star for no movie!

I just picked up this at a steal for $20 on Black Friday. I was really looking forward to my Batman: Year One movie download. Problem is, they no longer make copies of Arkham City with the download code and Amazon is selling the new prints of the game. The front and back cover even no longer mention "+Batman: Year One." I was very disappointed. So, if you were waiting for this game to drop in price like I did and really wanted the game AND the movie, just know you won't get it.

Even though I never played it, this is going to be an amazing game. regardless of the exclusion of the movie code.
