I played Batman: Arkham Asylum back in 2009 and it remains one of my favorite games that has come out in the past few years, so I was pretty excited when I heard about the sequel: Batman: Arkham City.  Akham City retains all of the stuff that made Asylum great and adds even more, which I never thought would be possible.  The story is set in Arkham City prison which is basically a section of Arkham that has been walled off and turned into a maximum security prison.  The prison is filled with thugs, weirdos, political prisoners and your classic murderous criminal masterminds.  For example, Joker has taken over the Steel Mill, Two-Face hangs out at the Court House and The Penguin has taken over the Museum.  There are even some other baddies in there too for you to discover through side missions.  The story follows Bruce Wayne after he gets thrown into Arkham City and has to figure out something simply known as "Protocol 10".  The game presents a "realistic" experience and lets you truly become Batman.  Some moments you are using your keen detective skills, other times you are pounding the snot out of bad guys and finally you have to stalk your "prey" from the shadows.  The game will keep you plenty busy after the main story is done with side missions, hundreds of collectibles, puzzles, training exercises and much more.  Arkham City truly delivers one of the best "super hero" games ever made.  Everything about this game is flawless and future games should use this game as a model.  (1.00)
