Batman Arkham City (Xbox 360)

Product Information

Also known as Batman: The Movie, the game is loosely based on the 1989 Batman film. It was coded by and released by Ocean Software. You won’t find a better “massively single-player offline role-playing game” than the Elder Scrolls games…except perhaps Fallout 3, from the very same developer, Bethesda Game Studios. This is open-world fantasy writ large, complete with swords, shields, dragons, forests, and everything else you’ve ever wanted in a medieval fantasy RPG. Ranged, melee, and magic combat have all been honed to feel much more impactful over previous Elder Scrolls games, and the visuals have been turned up to a level you probably couldn’t have imagined when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005. The average – average – player spends 80 hours in Skyrim. And it’s time you’ll never regret in one of the best open world games of all time. Robinson, Andy (2006-09-08). "Holy LEGO, Batman!".

It features the ability to play up to 2 player simultaneously as either Batman or Robin.

Best Batman Games You Can Play (Updated August 2020) Despite the fact it’s near the bottom of this particular list, Batman Arkham VR is actually very good, it’s just that the barometer for Arkham games is set very high. This escapist fantasy of a virtual reality experience came out in 2016 and is technically the last proper Arkham game we’ve had following Arkham Knight. As far as short VR games go, Arkham VR is incredibly successful in everything it sets out to do, which is a rare feat!

Batman must also deal with a separate threat from the Joker, who’s dealing with the ill effects of the Titan serum he took during the events of Asylum. Like Arkham Underworld, Arkham Assault shines the spotlight on Batman’s adversaries, following Harley, Joker, Riddler, and others as they infiltrate Arkham Asylum, ultimately freeing many of its most notorious inmates.

Whilst the plot is meandering and ultimately pointless, it did have a number of ambitious ideas - it tried to graft as much of the console experience as possible to portable devices, with stealth gameplay, grappling and even explosive gel making the cut. The inventive use of the camera must also be applauded - zooming in at various flashpoints and courting glides, as well as putting Batman in the literal crosshairs as part of the Deadshot fight. And while the city is more expansive and gorgeous to look at, there are still things that aren't top notch because when the world's bigger things become a bit confusing. For instance: while the arrows show the objective (be it side missions or main ones) sometimes you have a hard time finding the objective where it is supposed to be. Sure you hear their voice and everything but it's not always concrete. For me anyway. Even in detective mode it's not always so clear. But the arrows do help and eventually you find what you are looking for. Arkham Asylum’s story was written by Paul Dino, whose long history with the franchise includes many writing credits on Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond.

Mirror’s Edge is a first-person parkour game where it’s feasible – even encouraged – to finish it without ever pulling the trigger on a gun. It is staunch in both its dedication to its player perspective and its art direction. Mirror’s Edge’s near-future Big Brother-governed metropolis is given life by its near-exclusive use of primary colors. The whites, reds, blues, greens, and yellows are as much gameplay clues as they are design choices; they serve a purpose, and in the end Mirror’s Edge is every bit as bold and beautiful today as it was when it first released in 2008.Batman Forever: The Arcade Game Release Information for Saturn".
