Batman: Arkham City
Xbox 360 version
One of those rare cases where the game's great on any platform.
The Good
As I previously stated with my review of the PS3 version of the game, Batman: Arkham City is a masterclass in game design and all-round sense of fun and escapism through the eyes of Batman. The gameplay's spectacular and very creative for the players and developers alike. Are there any flaws in the game? Not really, but the Xbox 360's D-Pad does make things a little awkward.
Everything that made the PS3 version great carries over perfectly here.
The Bad
Like I said before: the D-Pad on the 360's controller has always been rather clunky to me (everything else about the controller is fine) and this can make the process of selecting gadgets for Batman unintentionally jerky if you're in a frenzy trying to escape the baddies in stealth mode.
The Bottom Line
It's Batman mixed with God of War, Grand Theft Auto, The Legend of Zelda and Castlevania.
