"It’s hard to imagine a better superhero game than Batman: Arkham City. It’s also hard to imagine a better video game in general. Rocksteady Studios’ sandbox-style beat ‘em up took everything Arkham Asylum did right and magnified it tenfold. . . And instead of distilling Batman to a cowled martial arts expert, it also let us tap into Batman’s Sherlockian side, sneaking around the game’s city-prison wielding cryptographic jammers and remote control batarangs, tapping forensic abilities to backtrace sniper shots or save citizens from some cackling villain’s machinations." - Matt Peckham, Time
