The first Arkham City review

LINK
It's a PS3 review but it's worth mentioning that it got a stonking 10/10!!
The first European review will be in gamesmaster on the 10th I believe, glad I am getting this on release day now

looks pretty good i wanna get my hands on this

Thanks mate, looking forward to this even more now

The first european review was to be released on the 10th (Monday) but it's been leaked out. Gamesmaster score it high too.

The mag's given Arkham City 97% but it's the words that really give an indication of just how special this game is.

Reviewer Rob Taylor urges readers to "revel in one of the greatest games ever conceived." He describes the combat as "near perfection" and "elevated to an entirely new level" while Arkham City as a location is "brooding and bloody massive.

Most excitingly though, the mag teases a "knockout ending" which of course (thankfully) is kept tightly under wraps.

Not long now

Aaah man! This game is gonna be the bollocks!! The combat in the last one was already head and shoulders above any game of it's type! Not to mention, plot, voice acting, character design, atmosphere, blah blah blah!

Would anyone argue against Rocksteady's version of the bat universe being the best for decades?

I couldn't get into Arkham Asylum. I know it's not a bad game, just wasn't for me, and I think alot of it was due to overhype.

I have no excitement for Arkham City at all, but if I play it, I'm hoping I'll be pleasantly suprised this time

Check out all the perfect scores this game has at metacritic.

GOTY??

Looks stunningly awesome!

Could be the best game ever!

It looks awesome, but if Skyrim doesn't beat on both counts, Bethesda have dropped the ball somewhere.

So glad i didn't buy Forza 4 at the weekend, as i can now afford to buy this instead!
