A year after the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Quincy Sharp, the new mayor of Gotham, has turned its slums into Arkham City, a terrifying open-air prison where violent thugs and insane super-villains are incarcerated within heavily fortified walls.
When Batman is imprisoned alongside Gotham’s most notorious, he must discover Arkham City’s true purpose before it’s too late. This intense, atmospheric sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum plunges Batman deep into a gothic nightmare from which he will need all his wits, gadgetry and skill to escape.
Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition contains all DLC including Harley Quinn’s Revenge, a standalone story set two weeks after the events of the main game in addition to the Nightwing, Catwoman, Robin, Arkham City Skins and Challenge Map packs.
Experience Arkham City as Batman; learn to master the caped crusader’s abilities as you swoop over the rain-lashed rooftops of Gotham in the best superhero adventure ever to come to the Mac.
Face off against a demented rogue’s gallery that includes all of Gotham’s most iconic baddies: The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin and Mr. Freeze.
Take on hundreds of side missions, secrets and puzzles hidden by the Riddler to confuse and confound Batman.
Wonderful toys! Make Arkham City your playground; deploy an arsenal of upgradable gadgets, from a remote-control Batarang to a grappling gun to explosive gel and freeze cluster grenades.
Use Detective Mode to scan for vital clues and reveal enemies’ weak spots, then deliver brutal combos with an improved version of the Free Flow™ combat system.
Play as Catwoman in a deliciously feline subplot that unfurls alongside the main game.
Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy return as the voices of the Joker and Batman in this dark, twisted adventure, written by Paul Dini.
While the game itself is excellent some of the controls on the Mac leave a lot to be desired. Some of the combos you need to do are almost impossible using a keyboard-mouse combo. There is also a weird glitch when you come back from the map - you get spun around so you no longer know which you're facing in relation to the map. Definitely only buy this one when it's on special.

Totally worth it

I played this game after playing Arkham Asylum and its.. transfixing. From the first point where you are suddenly dropped into gameplay in a "disadvantaged situation" to where you finally make a climatic finale that leaves you questioning the justice and moral right behind the "Caped Crusader", this game is a spine tingling ride that totally enraptures. You get to level up and try different BatGadgets (as you would expect), but the core of the game is about the inner journey that Batman is making - is it revenge, redemption, or something more? With plenty of sidequests to bulk up game time and level, this is one that I returned to again and again.

In my eyes Batman Arkham City is just one of the best titles I have played so far in my entire gamer-live. The story is great, exept from some repetitive sentences the inmates drop arround the city the dialogues are great fun, the fighting system is fluent and precise and you will use hours on the game for completing only the main quest which is enriched by the DLC "Harley's Revenge" and the arena-like "Riddler's Revenge", all the riddler riddles, collectables, sidemissions and the fun to just walk arround and boot inmates…
In one sentence: If you liked the Dark-Knight movie triology for batmans coolness, you will love the game!
