Four pages of hype and not a single post after the release of the game…
I've said elsewhere that I found the game too long-winded, but I think I also found it less memorable than the first. Each area in Arkham Asylum stood out and had something distinct to make it feel unique. Arkham City had too many “grey” areas. I spent twice as long flying around the place (poxing riddler trophies) than I did in AA yet even at the end of my second playthrough () I was still checking my map to find where I was going.
And I think it's a real pity as so many aspects of the game are 10/10. The combat still made me feel like a ninja and was truly awesome when the full move-set was unlocked and mastered. The graphics and attention to detail are flawless. And the cast are word perfect, each doing complete justice to their history.
If they do decide to make a third game I really hope they adopt a “less is more” approach.
