Product Description

Platform: Xbox 360

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Batman Game Ever May 29, 2012

By OSCAR LAINEZ

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Let me start by saying something you know already, this game rocks. It's by far the best Batman game you can play, even better than Batman Arkham Asylum which is awesome too.

OK, what does it make this version superior over the regular one? Batman: Arkham City (GOTY) comes with 2 discs. Disc 1 is the regular version of this fantastic game, and Disc 2 allows you to install all of the DLC (Catwoman Pack, Robin Bundle Pack, Nightwing Bundle Pack, Arkham City Skins Pack, and Challenge Map Pack. Also includes Harley Quinn's Revenge new bonus content which features more than two hours of additional content, new environments, collectables, storylines and enemies) on your hard drive. You can download Batman: Year One movie with a voucher code. In other words, all of DLC are on Disc 2 that you install on your hard drive, except for the movie (voucher code).

So, if you already have the regular version and a nice friend borrows you Disc 2, you will have all of the downloadable content. On the other hand, if you have never played this game... What are you waiting for? Go for your copy now.

Enjoy this fantastic game, it is really amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what Games should BE October 10, 2012

This game is absolutely amazing. Graphics, missions, gadgets, characters, and story are all just amazing. This is not my first game. I have played Call of duties. Assassins Creed, and etc. I can see that Arkham City has put a lot of work in this game than the rest. The story is so dramatic and detailed. Gadgets are very amazing as you use them to take your enemies down. Stealth, stealth, STEALTH !!! I didnt even know this game had stealth intill I bought it. I'm a hue fan of assassins creed, but after I saw the stealth in Arkham city, Assassins creed didn't stand out anymore. Combat, THE COMBAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS GAME !!! AZMAZIN MOVEMENT AND COMBOS! Not like any other super hero game ever!!! Just buy this game!!! GAME OF THE YEAR

Pros:
- Perfect stealth and combat system
- Amazing graphics
- Missions are never repetitive
- Loads of gamemodes to play from
- Loads of characters to play as
- Free roam experience brings the fun in Arkham
- Loads of cool gadgets that lets you decide your next move
- Lots of freedom and ways to complete your mission
- Detailing enemies
- Great dramatic campaigne

Cons:
- Okay Facial graphics
- No multiplayer ( Totally Fine )
- Can't use Nightwing or Robin in campaign, only in game modes.
- Long missions
- A few confusing missions ( No Biggy)
Thankyou for reading and have a great time playing this game

5.0 out of 5 stars Info about the expired XBOX 360 code / what's included [Not a game review] April 24, 2013

By Lera

The front of the box says that Bonus Content includes Harley Quinn's Revenge and Batman: Year One, and that it has a code to download from Xbox Live that expires on March 31, 2013.

I wasn't sure if that meant all content was behind the code or that some was on the disc and some on XBox Live. I got mixed results when researching the issue. One person said they used the code after expiration and it still worked. Some people said they got two discs in the box and it had all the content and others said they got one disc in the box and it didn't have all the content.

So here's the breakdown:

I put in the code today, 24 April 2013, and it is indeed INVALID on Xbox Live. I have a paid Gold membership (compared to a free Silver membership) and it still didn't work.

The box contains two discs. Those who got one disc may have purchased the original game. This is the Game of the Year Edition, with the ugly red and white cover. Upon installing and starting up disc one, the game searched for me and advised me that I have Catwoman content waiting for me and to please insert the second disc to install the Catwoman Bundle Pack.

All I had to do to enable this was start the game with Disc 2 in the drive instead of Disc 1. Up came a screen offering me to install:
-Catwoman Bundle Pack
-Batman Inc. Batsuit Skin
-Challenge Map Pack
-The Arkham Bundle
-Harley Quinn's Revenge

I could install individually or select "Install All" button.

So a careful reading of the box and examination of the options seems to show that the only thing the expired Xbox Live download code was used for was the animated movie "Batman: Year One." You do NOT get that for free when you buy this game because the code expired March 31, 2013.

I hope that helps anyone out there who was wondering, as I was, what the expired code meant.
