GameSpot Reviews - Batman: Arkham City Video Review (PS3, Xbox 360)

[Naruto89522]

also there is 440 riddles you need 400 to fuck the riddler up the rest you can find but there is no point

[Naruto89522]

its actually arkham city

[danielzinhofa]

i am facepalming so much everytime i read a commentary

ign is not microsoft fanboy and gamespot is not microsoft fanboy.you know why? BEACUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF FUCKING REVIEWERS ON IGN AND ON GAMESPOT

god,how can't you guys see that?

ign never gave a 10 to any xbox game and kinect got a 7.5

meanwhile uncharted 3 got 10 and ps move got 8.5

the guy who reviews the xbox games is diferent from the guy who reviews the ps3 games.they give score based on thei opinion

understand this,for fuck sakes

[SlushieRainbow]

@danielzinhofa you sir deserve a like. :)

[mchoppy]

the guys voice was fucking annoying

[itisosama8]

how the fuck do gears 3 and halo reach get a 9.5 but skyrim, uncharted and batman get a 9? gamespot are suck 360 fanboys

[TheExcaliber452]

@itisosama8 Wait, your upset because three games got .5 lower scores than 2 other games? Really? Thats a pretty pointless thing to be upset about.

[ronvnkl232]

@itisosama8 dude microsoft bought them

[Mikeymaddddddddddddd]

@itisosama8

Not fanboys, just idiots.

[CyclonicDeath]

@itisosama8 Yeah they're fucking 360 fanboys.....IGN are also mildly 360 fanboys, they gave uncharted a 10 to try and cover that up. Notice how IGN ALWAYS do multiplatform reviews on the 360? the only reason they didn't do Uncharted on the 360 is because it's exclusive to the PS.

[ollebull4]

i have two marvel superherogames and they both suck so that made me stop liking all those kind of games but then i got this game on x-mas.

[HSAdestroy]

Carolyn's my favourite reviewer, she makes structure a priority and puts in all the detail that is needed. Let her review more games Kevin vanOrd

[SharpestGamer]

what a noob reading from the book in order to review a game.

[Khalis33]

@SharpestGamer Gamespot reviews are mostly read from script. Think

[pmacmail2003]

Woody Allen stereotypical jew voice.

[WhatTH3fuckkkkkkkk]

@pmacmail2003

haha

[ultimateRenzo]

this review basically spoiled the whole game showing you all of the gadgets and how the story plays out. ruined it for me :( and his voice is sssoooooo gay!!!

[SkullForce4]

@ultimateRenzo It's a transgender woman, numbnut.

[12Cobraplayer]

holy crap that scared the crap out of me when I heard the guys voice

[SkullForce4]

@12Cobraplayer It's a woman.

[MrMambalam]

should i get max payne 3 or arkham city

[12Cobraplayer]

@MrMambalam Arkham City got 2nd best game of the year and I haven't even heard of Max Payne. Plus I played the shit out of Arkham City

[lowerfrenches]

@12Cobraplayer YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF MAX PAYNE?

GET OUT...GET THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET!

[MrMambalam]

@12Cobraplayer

thanks but i can't take your opinion seriously if you have never played max payne lol.

[ShockEvolution]

@MrMambalam Dude, Max Payne 3 doesn't come out till May. Pick up Arkham City first, and it'll really keep you busy. Hell, you may never want to put it down and pick up Max Payne 3 when it comes out.

[MrMambalam]

@ShockEvolution

i can only get a game in june lol.

[ErickelAwesome1]

the reviewer's a FAG!

[klaos9999]

Why oh fucking why????? what is with the reviewers voice!!!!??? it sounds like i'm being spoken to by a side character from the big bang theory, SHELDONS BROTHER!!!!!!! BAZINGA!!!!

[signupsigma]

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND : Batman Arkham Asylum / GTA4 / RED DEAD REDEMPTION / RESISTANCE 3 / UNCHARTED 2 / UNCHARTED 3 ?

PLEASE RECOMMEND ONE. AGAIN, JUST ONE OUT OF THE SIX GAMES MENTIONED.

THANKS...!!!!

[pghkid17]

@signupsigma Uncharted 2.

[JLev4152]

@signupsigma batman

[R2BDSireturn]

@signupsigma batman!

[Jimmybobburns]

@signupsigma caps dude, caps

[CyclonicDeath]

@signupsigma Uncharted 2 or Arkham Asylum

[signupsigma]

@CyclonicDeath

If youh ad to choose between Uncharted 2 or Arkham, what would it be?

[MyMonkeyman3]

I WOULD PICK Arkham

[signupsigma]

@MyMonkeyman3 Have you played uncharted 2?

[CyclonicDeath]

@signupsigma Uncharted 2 only because of the online. it has for me more lasting appeal.

[thewhackedsack]

the ending was spectacular.

[thewhackedsack]

helium.

[theweirdudetony]

"Now, we have a new vision of gotham" lol @ voice

[hxzxxl]

i wish you could knock thugs off the rooftops.. batman hits them as hard as he possibly can and they never fly off the roofs! instead, they crash into an invisible wall and it just looks dumb! how did they miss such a flaw during testing?

>:[

[princebreezy1999]

LO FUCKING L THIS GAME IS COOOOOOOOOOOL

[xxxRaZieLxxxxxxx]

I Love This Game! :)

[testwordz]

gamespot and ign are so corrupt. they get excited over stupid shit, it makes it sound like they are trying to sell the game for profit. I wonder how much they're paid for their reviews.

really "COMBAT IS EXCITING. YOU FIGHT BY PRESSING ONE BUTTON!" how is that a good thing? really? fuck off.

[MultiTrackyBoyz]

@testwordz Are you trying to say fighting with one button is bad? loljks.

The combat gets really hard 25% in. I know I might sound like a pussy, but fighting unarmed baddies, men armed with guns, shield guys, stun stick people and other kind of enemys like the one armed russians and the TITAN enemies make it really, really hard to fight. The combat goes up to 5, 6 or 7 buttons at a time, depending on which enemies your versing. Play the game before you complain about it. The combat is good.

[SuperMicklovin]

@testwordz Only noobs like you would mash one 1 button to play. I'n total the're about 7 buttons,maybe you need to actually play the game

[jackiecrane57]

GOOD GOD I JUST FIGURED OUT THE REVIEWER IS A TRANSSEXUAL D:

[Crumbsm8]

When did Andy Dick become a GameSpot reviewer?

[BullpwhoTV]

most rich environment EVER? I dont think so. I thought games like bioshock and half life had better environments but thats just me

[LfunkeyA]

@BullpwhoTV

half life? really? i understand it's a classic, but this game is miles ahead atmospherically, and yes the tech is part of it.

[BullpwhoTV]

@LfunkeyA its just my opinion. I was much more absorbed in city 17 then i was swinging around a city full of gargoyles and neon signs. I just got bored running across the same buildings the whole game. Everything is dark and brown and if its not then its neon. Its very detailed and fits batman perfectly, I just dont think its the best atmosphere ever.

[HaliXq]

i like this guy's voice

[mRb0MBASTICKnetwork]

@HaliXq it's a girl :D:D:D

[PTPfilms]

anyone else think rocksteady should make games based on other superheroes?

[SuperMicklovin]

@PTPfilms A daredevil game would be cool

[MrTim0tii]

oh my lord. the voice.

[jfl125]

its funny that im typing this in on a batman review. sooooo probably alot of batman fans here. but ive got some money gathered up and im thinking of buying a game for the ps3. and right now im just thinking of maby darksouls or batman arkamcity. ive played demon's souls and liked it but never played arkam aslym. any game recomendations that i may not be awear of?

[TheNemke360]

IF you want a real Review ,type in Batman Arkham City Review ZGR

[kingNOVAd2nd]

is this worth buyin ?

[TheNemke360]

@kingNOVAd2nd hell yeAH!! Best game I've ever played!

[TheBl7nk]

@kingNOVAd2nd errr YEAH its really good fun the fightin is the best i'v seen in a game plus the story is great... i'ed give it 9 out of 10 for a BATMAN FAN that is... but if you just wont a fighting game with up to 25 to 30 upgrads to you skills i'ed give it 9.5 out of 10 really you'll love this game... i cud not get off this game thanks to it story and the felling i get when i beat up around 20 bad guys with out gettin hit...

[rdeeshow]

ok now what do you think i need help, should i buy batman arkham city or Geras of war 3 i really need a fast answer which one is better

[Lucky7sDN]

@rdeeshow Buy Gears of War 3 first---->ONLY IF YOU'RE A GEARS FAN AND HAVE PLAYED THE PREVIOUS GAMESsince it is shorter but packs a major punch with content and action. Then buy Batman AC. HOWEVER!!if u'r not a gears fan and havent played the other games.get Batman AC 1st since u will probably not be able to enjoy the great franchise ending of GOW3.if this is your case then buy Batman AC then Gears 1 and 2 later (they're REALLY cheap) and then 3. That is if u actually care about an amazing story

[madboyst]

u forgot bout the costumes my faverates batman beyond 1

[RichieLivingston]

This guy sounds like Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory.

[KingMasterReview]

I love borth Arkham Asylum & Arkham City!

But I have to say Arkham City is better!

[oiitslike]

@KingMasterReview arkham city is better but arkham asylum had a longer story

[ilight8]

this is ment to be a review, but instead him/her is telling us the fucking story the stupid prick

[tazss159]

9.0?! ARE YOU KIDDING?! IT'S OVER 9000!!!

[MrAlbinoGhost]

3:49 "and keep your combo going"... as it is broken after being hit

[siwulabj]

Since they have introduce nightwing and robin etc the next one should be online multiplayer (at least 2 player i could see some problems with more than 2)

[Twighlighw0nder]

@siwulabj yeah that sounds sweet

[pro9511]

Is it better on ps3 or Xbox ???

[Tha1LifeKid]

@pro9511 PC best graphics I guess..

[ilight8]

@Tha1LifeKid no,..... for some reason everyone thinks that all games are better graphics on pc but they're not the only game that is is bf3, because consoles canb't capacitate the memory needed for bf3

[Tha1LifeKid]

@ilight8 But in consoles you can't adjust the graphics and if you have the recommended specs you can run play on max settings dx11 and physX on

and that makes me think that the pc graphics are better.. :l

[grvalda]

@pro9511 no difference

[zsreich]

Let me clarify something. Carolyn is a female and has been all her life, but was born with male physicality. This has happened to people since forever and will continue to happen. So honestly get over it and stop being so prejudiced. I have to say this is a pretty good review and if you disagree then why don't you actually say why the review is bad.

But that's probably too much to ask because I am aware that some people never grow up.

[ilight8]

@zsreich what the narrator is female?

[zsreich]

@ilight8

As far as I remember from his/her comments on gamespot she defined herself as a female. But that would really be a question for carolyn to answer. Anyways, it does not even really matter what gender I just wish people would stop being rude to someone who is clearly capable of reviewing the game well. Also, batman arkam city is so fun!

[WasNobody]

This is certainly a brilliant game, deserving of any gamer's valued time. And this is one of the more respectful reviews I've seen. Not because of its rating, but just because the reviewer handles himself maturely, and discusses just the game, without any absurd hyperbole, advertising, or just being childish. Bravo, in such a flooded market of poor game sites and childish behavior, you don't rely on cheap remarks and tired jokes to make the review stick.

[rifsattar]

OK not only is his voice instantly repulsive, HIS NAME IS CAROLYN. damn that is hilarious

[JuzRusty]

What's with this dude's voice? Is he doing this review through someone crushing his throat and holding his nose?

[pjthebest10]

SATISFYING combat system.

make that perfect.

..

admit it, youve never played a game where the combat was this awesome

[ilight8]

@pjthebest10 metal gear solid

[grvalda]

@pjthebest10 assassins creed...

[angryguy54]

i hope they make another batman game plz

[ironfire98]

@angryguy54 did u already hear about it they are they showed on spike the joker with a batman arkham world script so i think they are but i really want batman arkham city

[LeoKnightZ]

Gamespot got IGN's stupidity.

[mohsin213jc]

i would give this 10/10 any day.

i think that's why gamespot has gone from top to zero in no time XD

[IIVikingII]

This game is fucking great. I am more than happy to sink my teeth into it now when i'm kinda burned out on Battlefield 3. Arkham Asylum was ace.

[gamemonster7]

Yes i'll start swapping to IGN!

[DanTheMan33088]

I love how Gamespot gave this game a 9, and nobody's bitching at them, yet IGN got bitched at for giving it a 9.5

[hello34726]

Ok If they make another batman game which they better I think they should make it in the actual Gotham city and make the bat car drivable in some missions and also u can go in to the mansion and bat cave whenever also it would be really cool if they added some sort shadow cover so if your in a dark place u can't be sene I think that would be awesome who agrees

[adamyo24]

@hello34726 and the batwing would be cool

[reka10]

@hello34726 you mean make batman's creed gotham?

[ilight8]

@hello34726 that exact game was on the ps1

[fuller383]

@hello34726 there is a rumour that they r making another batman because if u go to where joker puts his blood into u there is an easter egg with a pregnancy test thing and it is positive which means harley quinn has jokers baby

[fowlerfreak]

@hello34726 it would be better if they made it from stories like tower of babel. But ur idea of batmobile is what every1 wud want

[papajfunkps3]

@hello34726 actualy dude the next batman game will be arkham world

[BenGriffithsReviews]

I love the disrupter. Really helped at the end on the way to the movie theatre.

[ryder4656]

the catwoman pack needs XBOX LIVE ????'

please help me

[silver1239]

@ryder4656 you need to have an xbox live account to download it.

[mattsimons76]

This game is epic!!!

[DanielAtefAziz]

i was gonna get that game 2day, but after hearing that guy's voice, i don't think so

[BenGriffithsReviews]

@DanielAtefAziz Well that's just dynamite. Congratulations.

[elbowlord]

@DanielAtefAziz idk if its a guy or girl....... watch the la norie review

[AssyrianKingz13]

@elbowlord yer its a tranny

[TheNemke360]

@DanielAtefAziz i dont think so? best game ever made!

[mRb0MBASTICKnetwork]

@DanielAtefAziz Sorry to tell you, but it's a girl, trust me.

[ttaggart12345]

@DanielAtefAziz at first i thought you were a dickhead for saying that. but then I heard his voice and immediately ripped my ears off

[Burn0Man]

i can't take this review seriously

[dantemidnight0]

If you haven't got the game, go get it. It's very good.

[Unborn8436]

Lol boss fights are too easy?? I already beat this game twice and the enemies are definitely NOT easy. This is coming from someone who beat arkham asylum on the hardest difficulty. The bosses in this game have more variety in their attacks this time around. Admit it gamespot, this game has no "the bad" points. I love this game!!

[narutosonicrealm]

i'm sorry, but the contrast between the dark, gritty batman environmental and his silly sounding voice is hard not to chuckle at.

[thejoshloop2]

thats a fucking person too you immature pieces of shit

[robxxxdevil]

tbh, i dont give a shit with you adds -__-

[haloreacher2001]

Shut up all of you immature haters. The reviewer couldn't help it if he's gay or not. What really matters is what you think of yourself. Before you leave any little kid comments, think of how you would feel first

[GFDeMarcus]

@haloreacher2001 Bro move.

[mshankute]

@haloreacher2001 Actually the reviewer isn't a gay guy, it's a girl

[VillalobosC9]

@mshankute Actually its a guy.

[mrcosmic1234]

@haloreacher2001 i dont like gay people

[Theorockz2]

@mrcosmic1234

prejudiced, homophobic bastard

[mrcosmic1234]

@Theorockz2 no i just think its wrong

[AllThingsAwesome97]

Fake AND GAY!

[ShadowLegend300]

@AllThingsAwesome97 Fake?

[CASSIDYFTW]

Hhaha this guy sounds like a gay dude

[TheMonkeydluffy455]

@CASSIDYFTW then you probably ARE ONE, if you're SO experienced in the field of gay voices. Stop fricking bagging on this guy O_O

[grvalda]

@CASSIDYFTW its a girl... seriously watch the name : CAROLINE Petit :S

[gamemonster7]

Can these ads fuck off?

[TinkerTom56]

Gamespot is SO much better at reviewing games then IGN.

[LeafNinjaspirit]

His voice......

[koosa619]

wait wait wait..... HIS name is CAROLYN?!

[oladeji123]

Dammm, that guys voice.....

[krnc17]

@oladeji123

yeaaaaa it does cause headaches alright !!!!

[yasherif]

I like this game, wish they would make an xmen game like this.

[smart2click]

9 ??? 

[o0th3Jok3R0o]

@hunterpelkinsXD according to your idiotic statement, all you do in fps games is press L1 & R1 to shoot, where's the fun in that? dumbasses these days...always complaining about the stupidest thing ever lol

[fWo]

This entire video I was trying to tell myself not to focus on a little thing like the reviewer's voice, but seriously... annoying.

[squerintain]

Im getting this in 3 days, So. Fucking. Excited.

[swirledelixir1]

@hunterpelkinsXD Well dude, you don't know a great game when you play one. And really? Complaining about the combat? The characters perform a variety of fighting moves/techniques using one strike/counter button. The simplicity of the combat is part of what makes the game unique....

[ashwinterx]

I bought this for my brother for Christmas, so I hope he likes it! He plays a lot of xbox lol

[jdog1ul]

The reviewer used to be a man.... then it took an arrow to the knee.

[SuperMicklovin]

This deserves ur GOTY gamespot. I like skyrim 2 but it can fuck off for the time being.

[MADagain321]

WALL HACKS lol loved arkham asylum but i cant run arkham city that well on my laptop :/ so its console for me then :)

[ToStrideForFame]

The virginity is strong in this one...

[rifsattar]

I hope this guy is ripped and rich, because with a voice like that he can pretty much kiss the chance of reproducing goodbye.

[moc10100]

@TomClacy5871

You're just some Xbox fanboy who doesn't have the time and/or money to get a PS3 and play Uncharted so unless you get a life and have something better to do than criticize a game I'm sure you never played, I suggest you just shut the fuck up!

[VaiTrooper]

Is it just me, or was Harley Quinn a whole LOT hotter in Arkham Asylum...

[iLecter]

@VaiTrooper The addition of catwoman in Arkham City makes up for that.

[kt5809]

thumbs up if you think this game should be a 10 !

[moc10100]

IMO Uncharted 3 is better but this game makes you feel like Batman and that's really fun.

[TomClacy5871]

@moc10100 batman is better than uncharted and almost no one cares about uncharted

[JohnnyBoy7267]

@TomClacy5871 lol yeah no one cares about uncharted except 13 milion people

[TomClacy5871]

@JohnnyBoy7267 dont exagerate its more like a thousand

[BoySamusMetroid]

@moc10100 Hell naw.

[x2Terminator2x]

This or skyrim ?

[FierceDeityGabriel]

@x2Terminator2x Skyrim in a heartbeat. But im trying to decide between this or saints row. Anyone have suggestions?

[1996Jamez]

@FierceDeityGabriel this is the best game i've ever played, so yeah i'd go with this :P

[insertfoot2ass]

GOTFY

[Nephalen]

this game looks really awesome

[StarkillerQue]

I played uncharted 3 and IMO it doesn't deserve goty. The second one definitely, but third no. Now arkham city great game and definitely doesn't get dry after a few hours. Uncharted 3 just throws you into shoot out, puzzle, action set piece. And repeats over and over. Then the broken story. And convos that left the player like wait nathandrake isn't his real name. Then how the fuck could he be a descendent of sir Francis drake? Like really. This was just my opinion.

[TheSupermora21]

great review but in mute

[tazss159]

Uh... so why did you give this game a 9.0? You could't even state one valid flaw about the game, yet you give it a 9? What is wrong with the retards over at Gamespot recently? They've only been giving good scores to shitty M$ exclusives. LOL?!

[theiflord192]

haha innocent prisoners

[Tampabruh]

Just lovin playing this game. It deserves a GOTY award for real! I only wished that they would incorperate Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) in this series of Batman games.

[vgman94]

This game is amazing, but it probably won't get the GOTY. Great games NEVER get GOTYs. Overrated shit always does. I mean sure, some games like God of War, Metal Gear Solid and Batman get a few awards, but never the big one.

[thewilliamgregg]

@vgman94 I wouldn't be surprised if it did get GOTY.I've heard alot of people saying it should.I want to play it but I never played the first one.
