Quite possibly the best game I've played this year.

Not surprising considering my fondness for comics and Batman in particular. However this game like it's predecessor perfectly places you in the most convincing Gotham city that has ever hit Video games.

A superb blend of voice work, atmosphere attention to detail and a rouges gallery of villains all help to steep you in the game world.

The combat perfectly fits the Batman character as you alternate between all out kick ass melee and stealth. The combos flow together with a rhythm that soon becomes second nature. The gadgets are put to good use to access areas, solve puzzles or just smack goons in the head with.

I loved it.

My only concern is that the open world means that the vast amount of collectibles is seriously over the top (400 Riddler trophies alone)

Finished the campaign so now I may head into New Game + or try out the challenge rooms.
