Batman Arkham City is the best super hero game
created. No other super game comes close, well one
does, Batman Arkham Asylum, Arkham City’s predecessor.
But wild claims aside, most super hero games have been
very bad. For the most part, its not the developers
fault. Super hero games are often rushed to completion
in order to tie into some other medium. For example,
often times when a new superhero movie came out in
theaters, the game had to be out at the same time.
This caused the developers to rush development and
put out sub par games in order to meet deadlines.
For the most part these games are described as "kid games&qout;,
but say a game is for a child doesn't mean it can be of
poor quality. So when Batman Arkham Asylum came out,
not attached to any movie, people were blown away
with the games quality. A developer had finally hit
the balance of how a Batman game should play. The
game was one part brutal action, one part detective
thriller, and one part adventurous play ground within
Batman's world. It was as close as anyone could get
to actually being the Batman, well until its sequel
came out.
