munnypantz I can agree. The gameplay felt WAY better in City.

[@surprisinglyblank2392]

munnypantz I mostly agree. I liked the new take downs in City and the gliding was lots of fun. There was also more variety with boss battles. It all was built on the solid game play of Asylum. Just more bells and whistles. Overall I think Asylum had better story flow, except the ending. I think Asylum did better balancing the various story lines, but City had a better Joker story.

[@codyadams3051]

[@haydeng3316]

1. The Joker as a brute makes no sense and goes against the whole point of his character 2. The fight itself is terrible. You don't fight Joker, you just avoid like 2 sets of 2 swings, and he goes up to let you fight his goons. Then you have to pull him down with the batclaw while his back is turned when he showboats for the helicopters, then repeat. So basically the fight is fighting normal enemies. And the fact that joker keeps turning his back to you and falling for the same thing is dumb. The explosive gel righthook is dope though

[@Luke-xi2pq]

It wasn't necessarily the ending, imo... It was the final boss fight that was the actual problem many have with the game, it was just kinda anti-climatic, dull, and repetitive final boss battle, we were all hoping for something that was among the awesome Scarecrow boss battles and/or any of the amazing boss battles in Arkham City!

[@bubbyboy5944]

yes, finally you're playing the Batman games i can't wait for the Arkham City review, that's my second favorite game of all time

[@Grumpydrawer]

I went into the Arkham games knowing little about DC other than that there was Batman, the Joker and the Penguin. Yet I still loved them to pieces. You don't need to know anything about the DC Universe when you play those games, anything you need to know is taught to you by the games allowing you to ease into them. Hell these games made me want to find out more about the DC Universe than I would have without these games. Arkham Asylum alone got me excited to play it barely a few minutes in, which is more than I can say for alot of games. Plus they're bloody damn well made games. They're easy to get into and have just enough difficulty at the right times.

I fell in love instantly. I assumed the cowl and became the Dark Knight Detective, and I solved ALL of the Riddler Challenges. Without walkthroughs, even!

Want that the ending was horrible it was that it was so basic...beat the bad guy and life goes on

I don't know it might be just another night of batman's life showing how badass he, especially seeing how even after breaking his arm he will still go after two face.

Hope you get better soon Jirard. Keep up the great work.

Even ten years later it still a great game!

[@jakubmichniewicz343]

Actually replaying it. Thru steam goty edition :D really dark, astonishing masterpiece. Kinda love it more than City I cant help myself

[@pandamonium2001]

Something I've never understood in this Batman series is that this Joker seemingly *wants* to *kill* Batman, instead of just toying with him like normal. Is it just Heath Ledger's Joker that doesn't kill because he needs Bruce and Batman?

Still my favorite Arkham game (apart from the final battle of course). I loved the comic-book-y feel & artstyle, which kinda got lost in later games...
