This is truly the next generation version of rocksteadys Batman series. Its a 9/10 masterpiece. The combat is as smooth as it ever and even more complex. The story is great. And now the open world is much larger and they added the Batmobile. There's not much more you could ask for from a Batman game.

This is the first of the Arkham series that I have played more than just a couple of hours. It is quite different from previous games so if you aren't a fan of the other games than this may be your cup of tea. Ive noticed that there are a lot more of those "cause the biggest scene" missions than there are stealth style missions. At least thats how it feels especially when running and gunning in the new Batmobile. It is definitely a great addition to the game. The controls of the batmobile are a bit clunky at first but with a little bit of time it does become natural. The voice acting is superb as always and is expected of Warner Brothers to pull out all the stops when casting. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill return once more to bring the nostalgia back into every '90s Batchild that grew up stuck to the television after school line up on Kids WB. Soundtrack as well fits into every scene well, making you feel immersed in the gameplay without distracting from the tone of the moment. Overall I'll give it a 4.5/5. Only because I enjoy more of an underdog that Batman is in other stories rather than Battle Armor Robocop Soldier that he is in this game, even though all the new toys are just so much fun to use. And for the $11.99 I was able to grab it online for made this my favorite game on this console.

Arkham Knight is a great game. If you've played the other Arkham games, then you'll feel right at home with the combat and predator mechanics of Arkham Knight, which both remain excellent. Those of you who are new to the series will have a learning curve but you'll get it with little difficulty. Rocksteady even added a few new things to combat, including dual takedowns when you're battling a group of baddies with a Robin, Nightwing or Catwoman. And they made a few predator takedowns a bit easier to execute. The biggest addition to the Arkham series is of course, the Batmobile. I'm not that adept at driving games so I have a bit of trouble driving around Gotham City. Maybe it's the sensitivity of the controls but who knows. Unfortunately for me, the Batmobile is essential to the game so we cannot complete the game without it. I have to admit that seeing the bad guys run when they see the Batmobile speeding their way is very satisfying. The story is again excellent with a few twists that I didn't see coming, with side missions you should definitely finish. The voice acting is also top-notch. The most annoying villain (at least to me) is still the Riddler. I just can't stand his voice! Aside from the driving mechanics, Arkham Knight is still an awesome game.

This game is absolutely phenomenal. You are placed in a much larger Gotham City and the level of detail is breathtaking. The developers have perfected the superhero video game with the Arkham series. I'm sad to see this end but am anxious to see if they have any other superheroes they want to bring to life. I won't give away the plot, but understand that the side missions feel like main objectives and they seem to advance the main story. They're optional but are created to feel like you're not neglecting the main story. I love the use of weapons, the fight scenes, and the batmobile. It's not secret that it's a part of the gameplay, but the level of detail in the car is beyond what I expected. Anyone playing this will not be disappointed. Looking forward to beating it and playing any DLs.

I first heard of Rocksteady when the first Batman Arkham Asylum game came out and immediately fell in love with them. You can tell they really love what the do and are fans of the source material. The latest game is no different, as you will hear from almost every other reviewer the game only falls flat with the introduction of the batmobile. The only problem i had with the batmobile is the controls felt clunky and was the only time i found myself having to repeat missions more than i would like to admit. Besides that the game is superb, the story had me on the edge of my seat and i couldnt wait to see what was gonna happen next. The combat is more of the same, which is by no means a bad thing. If it aint broke dont fix it! The game is full of fan service, easter eggs, and hidden surprises.

Great graphics. Hours of gameplay. Storyline is great. Open world and great use of the batmobile. Next will be the batwing. No complaints. Great addition to my collection and the batman series!!!!! A must

Before the Arkham games the Batman franchise has had a rocky reputation with video games. It's not until Rocksteady's surprise hit Batman: Arkham Asylum that really shook the video game community by surprise. That still hold true with their latest and final installment Batman: Arkham Knight. The game let's you control Batman, and it really does an excellent job of making you feel like you're Batman. The combat, story, and gadgets all feel genuine to the world and it's characters. The only negative thing I have to say about the game is the overuse of the Batmobile, I'd say you use it almost 40% of the game, and that's a lot. It almost feels forced, and after awhile it gets dull and repetitive.It also has a "tank" mode, which pulls me out of the experience, as it's something Batman won't ever do. Overall it's a far from perfect game but still a fun experience and offer a great conclusion to the Arkham games.

So without getting into any spoilers I'll just say this... The game is exactly what you expect out of an Arkham game. The combat is tight, the story is fun, and the side missions and collectibles are numerous. It really delivers on almost every level. My main complaint is the overuse of the batmobile. I was hoping it would just be an option to traverse faster through Gotham but expect to be spending a lot of time solving puzzles and in combat in the batmobile. It's still a great game but this along with a bad launch on pc might make some want to wait to play through the final installment of this series.

Even though the game does have a familiarity with GTO, this is a fantastic new twist on the classic video game franchise of Batman: Arkham Asylum. The batmobile interface is fresh. The tag team fighting is great, and the FEAR factor is a nice option for new takedown moves. The story is very dark and gritty, and yet still mesmerizing at the same time. The batmobile does need some getting used to, especially with chases, and the controls for the gadgets is a little hard to adjust to, since Sony for some reason changed it, but it is a well thought out game. A great end to a classic franchise.

I've loved all of the Batman Arkham games, and Arkham Knight is no different. The story is great, the gameplay is fun, and it looks amazing on the PS4. The Batmobile was a little unwieldy at first, but it gets better as you get used to the controls and get some of the later upgrades for the vehicle. I did feel like there were a few too many required Batmobile segments in the story, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game as a whole. Overall, I'd say this game is awesome, and a must-play for any Batman fan!

Overall this game is great the city feels huge with several islands in Gotham to explore, great cinemas, voice acting by the guys from the original cartoon are all there, an interesting storyline that keeps you guessing and all of the gameplay you expect from an Arkham game on a larger scale. A sure buy, you are not going to find a better Batman experience. Only a couple of things keep it from being a perfect score. One it is great the batmobile is in the game, but there are too many missions where you have to use it as a tank. And that brings me to # two. The game's ending feels incomplete, even after you finish the main story you have to complete EVERY side mission (including the tank and Riddler challenges) in the game to get the real ending.

First the positives: Graphics, voice acting (well done Mark Hamil!). The banter between the Joker and Bats is well done. Definitely the highlight of the game. The other notable item are the attention to detail in the graphics, like the rain water on Batmansome cape when flying around Gotham is really nice as well. The bad: Story and the controls I won't go into detail about the plot, but could of been better. The controls are good or bad depending on your play style you prefer. I preferred the controls in the LOTR game to this, even though very similar (same engine I think). So if a fan of previous games by WB, you should dig this one.

If you are a fan of the both Arkham Asylum and City, you will love this game. While the inclusion of the Batmobile is actually more of a distraction than an improvement, the overall game is excellent for Batman fans. If you where only mildly interested in the first two, this will be more or less an evolution of the series and not really anything dramatically new but for real fans of Batman... this game looks and plays like a dream.

this game is beautiful. and it's so ambitious for the creators to have created the setting of the single night this game takes place during a thunderstorm with lightning strikes that cast ominous shadows everywhere. you can almost feel the wet leather mesh, beads of moisture falling off batman's cape... the gameplay is, for the most part, exactly the same as the previous incarnations of the batman saga. the myriad of button moves (attack, counter, fire bat claw, etc) are all too familiar. however, this chapter in the batman saga gives us something new. the batmobile. a balls to the wall version too. and for the first time ever in the batman series, the player can now control the batmobile and speed down the corridors of gotham as well as traverse the rooftops and strike back when in battle-mode...but... the control sucks. R2 accelerates the machine, but Square brakes and reverses. ok, in my mind, most games would have placed the acceleration as the X button. or if R2 accelerates, why doesn't R1 reverse and brake? and L2 puts you into battle mode...and while in battle mode, R1 fires the machine gun and R2 fires the missiles. ok. but when you're driving and all of a sudden encounter enemies and you find yourself amongst 5 tanks trying to gun you down, the first thing you do is panic trying to find battle mode...but don't accidentally hit L1 cuz that'll pop Batman out of the Batmobile and make you more likely to get shot. and while you're trying to strafe and move forward and back (using the L3 joystick) and trying to fire, you might let go of the L2 button and then you're back into regular batmobile mode....where you're trying to go by using the L3 joystick...oh wait!, that's not right,...R2...! (hit the wall), aw man!! (hit square, reversing too much)...shoot shoot shoot!!! get outta there!!! and to throw an even bigger monkey wrench into the mix, Triangle is turbo boost engine. if Square is reverse, and Triangle is turbo boost, WHY WOULD YOU NOT MAKE X ACCELERATE??? what kinda button configuration is that??? ugh. anyways, that's my only complaint about this game. other than that it's pretty solid.

Bought the game, disk was damaged in the box PS4 wont read it. Couldnt return it due to being past return date.

If you've tried any of the other Arkham games, you know more or less what to expect. The key difference in Knight is the Batmobile, which is unfortunately not for everyone. It changes the feel of movement from the "controlled weight" of City and Origins to something much quicker, and this quickness also bleeds into combat, on-foot movement, predator encounters, gliding, etc. I personally loved it because it gives Knight a clear unique identity, much like how Asylum and City "feel" different yet similar. To those that loved that solidity and weight of City...you very well might not enjoy Knight. As far as gameplay, I'd say it's the perfect realization of a new-gen version of Arkham, just not one everyone would agree on. The story of Arkham Knight is somehow overly predictable and completely surprising, which I won't elaborate on due to spoiling some great twists. Outside of those, though...it's basically what you'd expect from another Arkham game. Hardly bad, but definitely not as riveting as something like The Last of Us. The voice acting (and sound design in general) is surprisingly perfect this time around, with the strange occasional exception of Batman himself. Overall, I'd say Arkham Knight falls more in line with a 9 to 9.5/10 due to a disappointing lack of challenge maps and over-focus on the Batmobile, but it's still a solid contender for my Game of the Year. If you can accept the Batmobile, this is the best Arkham game yet that can only be improved with challenge maps. If you like your Batman being more about, well, Batman, I'd still recommend trying it, just lower your expectations from matching City.

Bought this game new from Best Buy for around $15 on sale, which is an amazing deal for a fairly new AAA title of the quality of Batman Arkham Knight. Story is outstanding, as are the graphics and sound. Shares many of the same great core gameplay mechanics from the previous game Batman Arkham City, but also focuses a lot on the Batmobile, many people thought even too much. Great overall game and value for your money, 5/5.

This will be a spoiler free in this review. I like to start off by saying I love the the pervious batman games and finished them both mulitple tomes, so i might be a little more critical on the gameplay aspect of batman Aknight. Now to the review. Let's start with the good, this game is beautiful filled with character and life. This is soo much detail you could play the game for hours and hours and find things you never noticed before. Also on the ps4 the game runs smooth with little to no slowdown. Secondly the combat is great and fun to play if not unrealistic. In this game batman fly across the screen in combat to distances that seem impossible for any human to do but I guess he is batman. Lastly, I really enjoy the way the story is presented. Some might like the story some might not, but the way it is presented and the way side mission so up is much more organic then the pervious games it is without the best part of the game. Now to the bad (or what I personally didn't like) The batmoblie. Period. Full stop. It handles like a big butted beast. The breaks do not stop the car and it always wants to fishtail into everything. You do get used to it like figuring out to switch back and forth between battle mode and drive mode to make sharp turns or reverse quickly but it is still a pain. Also the inclusion of the batmoblie in puzzles is annoying and un-needed, it just slows down the game to a trial and error marathon. I just want to be batman sometimes and the game forces you to be his car. Being forced to be anything in a "open world" game is just not fun and don't get me started on the batmoblie platforming sections. Yeah you read that right the game has car platforming. Overall I really enjoyed this game and if you played the pervious games and don't want the story spoiled I highly recommend it. It is a good game if not a bit frustrating (looking at you batmoblie). But if you play games more for the gameplay I say wait for a price drop or the "complete" edition later this year or early next.

I LOVE batman games. I have all the games that came out except the Lego batman lol But anyways, this game play is really good but the Batmobile is a little hard to handle.

If you love the Arkham series, you'll love this game. It's a fantastic looking game with a huge world and wonderful voice acting - but the Batmobile really doesn't feel like it fits with the world. You're not the dark knight skulking in the shadows, solving crimes, and picking off bad guys one at a time - you're driving around in a tank blowing up other tanks. It suddenly feels way more like the Nolan movies batman than the comics / animated series batman the Arkham series has presented up with so far. That being said, every other aspect of it is so good that I can still highly recommend this game.
