8.5 bullshit

I think Rocksteady will also be able to make a superb Spider-Man game, I'd buy it

This Batman Game is a masterpiece in my opinion. I LOVE THIS BATMAN GAME!

BATMAN IS THE BEST DC CHARACTER,EVEN BETTER THAN [SUPERMAN].

Just finished it. I thought Arkham Asylum was good, but this one definitely hit the 9/10 range. Overall, it did everything Asylum did but made it more varied and fun to play.

Damn this has a lot to offer

Well if I wasn't already sold by playing the original and waiting for the sequel, this review more or less, sealed the deal. I still kinda wish they SA crew would just go back solely to the "Buy, Rent, or Fuck it" rating system, just because that set them apart from the rest and pretty much simplifies what one should think coming into a new game, but oh well.

I just wish they would do a similar game for Iron Man or Ghostrider.

Great! They didn't change the game!!! I love the screwattack guys put the name of the developer. Great touch guys!

It seems to me that the problems people are having stem from their perception of what the numerical score means. For years, review outlets have trained gamers to look at games on what was actually a 7-10 scale. Sites like Screwattack have begun to lead a push away from that, taking the 1-10 scale seriously. Naturally, games receiving the same praise will land a lower numerical score.

Jow was that controversial? You praised the shit out of the game.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this. Expressing opinions on matters is actually an individual's right that has also its limitations and we should be aware of that. What's controversial with Batman is the way some people react to his being famous and icon of being a super hero considering the fact that many individuals are now doing some horrifying things in relation to Batman. Just like wearing Batman costumes even in an ordinary date and place and even in doing some crazy thing. A male in Michigan was sentenced to six month probation for his tricks in a Superhero costume. Mark Wayne Williams was arrested in May in Petoskey, Mich. Officers, responding to reports of Batman being spotted on a roof, found him dangling off the side of the building by a rope. Some reports say police the officers helped him up, some say he was “rescued.” It is not clear whether the would-be superhero was stuck. The man was detained for trespassing and having a concealed weapon. He has already been instructed to hang up his cape for six months. I don't think this would-be Batman unmasked in court and sentenced to probation had a great idea of what heroism should be.

Sidescrollers said controversial....I see no controversy here. That was Jared's opinion and its fine. Me personally gives this game a 9.5 or higher but maybe I felt more freedom than Jared did as I was going through the whole giant city.

why are people so upset with this review. Why are all the little girls just whining and complaining here he gave his honest opinion, and just because it differs from your doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's a fair rating and the people who complained about it saying that it should be 10 go find something better to do than bitch about a game review.

Just watched the video and I honestly don't anything wrong about the review. The rating and everything said in the review seems right.

Looks really good, and to the opinion thing, I agree. I don't understand why people get all butt hurt over other people's reviews. IT'S THEIR OPINION! just because Jared or even Craig hates something doesn't you have to or that the hate you.

...What's controversial about this review?

This is happening with Sonic Generations

I for one didn't have any problems with the fact that this is an open world game because I feel that the non linear style that was used for Arkham Asylum just wasn't a good style for it even though you did have to backtrack when you got upgrades for your weapons.

And I'm more of a fan of open world games because it just adds more exploration and lets you travel more than being trapped in an enclosed world where you don't have the option to explore! (I'm looking at you Final Fantasy 13 and MGS4)

And some of the side missions do play a part in the actual story of the game which to me is a good thing! They aren't like the side missions in the Assassin's Creed games where they are just there and don't add any real purpose in moving the main story along.

And you also have this sense of urgency which is the world that Batman lives in and it absolutely shows when you are playing this game! The sense of urgency just adds to the excitement in my opinion!

I'm sticking by my rating of a 9 or a 9.5!

The awkward moment when there's more people criticizing at the people who bitched at the video, than people who bitched at the video

I like how people bitch when he gave an 8.5...

I actually didn't find the game overly familiar at all. Being able to seamlessly incorperate all your gadgets into combat made it feel fresh and fun, and the riddler challenges are a lot more tough and memorable than in Arkham Asylum. I never enjoy hunting for collectibles other than in the Arkham games. I was a little saddened by how few predator levels there are, and the ending pissed me off a little, but other than that its about as perfect a game as I've ever played.

Arkham City is far and away the best game I've played all year. Deus Ex, Portal 2, and Dark Souls were excellent but Arkham City perfectly captures how fun it is to be the bat.

It's one of the most flawless action/adventure games I can remember. Then again no game is flawless and I do agree with you on many of the flaws. Though I personally enjoyed this story a little bit more than Arkham Asylum due to its sense of urgency. And while the gameplay didn't change much, it added quite a bit.

Can't see why people are bent out of shape of this review. It's pretty much spot on. To me the most disappointing thing about it is that the predator gameplay takes a backseat.

ARGH i swore to myself i wouldn't watch batman stuff till i got this game, but screwattack is too awesome

Still not done with Arkham City, but so far I'm lovin' it. I'll be giving my full review of the game whenever I'm satisfied with it.

8.5 is probably the most down to earth review of this game, i can understand why an editor would be blown away by this game since his job is to play games he probably won't even like but as a consumer we have to be sure that this game measure with the rest of our gaming library and an 8.5 is definitely worthy of a purchase. And did people complain as much when Arkham Asylum got a rent it?

The game is flawless. I have no problems with it. I was so addicted to the story that I took off from work so I could play the F out of it!!! Cannot wait to replay it all over again!

this game is awesome i've been playing a lot of it and i'm still very far from the end (i've been doing the sidequests etc)

I don't see what's so controversial about this review. Jared enjoyed the game a lot and felt it wasn't entirely new. That's exactly the same way I think.

To me, making Batman into open world style is a mistake. Without having to play the first game you would get lost, not knowing what you are supposed to do or you just don't have the right tool.

Also, gameplay-wise, there isn't much difference from this to the prequel. It is by far not a bad game, just not as good as the hype. The first game's success heavily contributed to the success of the movie The Dark Knight. Outside of the movie's success the game is just a more refined Assassin's Creed.

So I absolutely agree with Jared. Pretty good game, just not as good as the hype due to the feeling of been-there-done-that.

Wait... why is this controversial? Is it because he didn't give it a perfect 10/10? He told us to buy it! Isn't that enough?
