Synopsis

Synopsis
When night falls on Gotham and the seedy undergrowth of the city emerges, Batman is there waiting. Ever vigilant, the Dark Knight monitors the city he protects from high above the gritty streets. No one knows his deepest secret — except Dr. Hugo Strange. With Gotham's criminally insane, vile villains and insidious characters confined within the walls of Arkham City, Batman must fight to ensure his true identity remains hidden from the citizens he vows to protect.

Soar inside the heavily fortified walls of Gotham's new maximum security home as the Dark Knight in Batman: Arkham City. This epic world is home to the city's most devious and dangerous criminals. Glide, soar and grapple through the City as you engage in hand-to-hand combat against enemies or take advantage of Batman's trademark stealth maneuvers. Experience the intense, gritty atmosphere with a brand-new storyline that brings together a new all-star cast of classic characters and menacing murderers from the Batman universe. Put on the cowl and cape of The World's Greatest Detective in an all-new way with this Armored Edition for the Nintendo Wii U. Put on the upgraded suit and dole out devastating justice during combat and constantly know where your next opponent is coming from with the new Battle Armored Tech (B.A.T.) mode for both Batman and Catwoman. Use your Wii U controller's touch screen to utilize the Dark Knight's redesigned, wrist-mounted Batcomputer, which allows you to choose your gadget, track evidence, upgrade your gear, set and detonate explosive gel and more. Dive into the action with re-imagined gadgets that fully harness the power of the Wii U controller. Expand the exciting gameplay of Arkham City with the Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition content that was previously only available as downloadable content, including the Catwoman Pack, Robin Bundle Pack, Nightwing Bundle Pack, Arkham City Skins Pack, Challenge Map Pack and Harley Quinn's Revenge Pack.

Great game featuring the best DC Comics character.

Posted by: from on 01/26/2013I own this game on Xbox 360, but had to get it on the Wii U when I got it. It is more engaging than its Xbox counterpart, due to the unique use of the new Wii U controller. You can upgrade gadgets, locate Riddler trophies, read character bios, and much more all on the Wii U gamepad. I highly recommend this game

Great Batman game (Better on Wii U)

Posted by: from New Jersey on 12/25/2012Story is great, you already know what you expect with Batman and this one is a bit dark too. Gameplay has been taken to another level with the Wii U Gamepad. You can even choose to play on the Gamepad instead of the TV, great feature. Graphics are amazing, no frame drops or any problems at all. Audio comes from the tv, gamepad, sounds from all sorts of places. Overall A+ for this single player game :)
