If you've played any of the Arkham series games before then you owe it to yourself to finish the series with this great ending to the trilogy. Rocksteady has fine tuned much of what worked well from the other games and didn't fix what wasn't broken. The combat is a blast although the game does seem to rely a little too heavily on the Batmobile sections but it is still enjoyable. The story has a few predictable twists but also some really entertaining sections especially near the end. Obsessive collectors will appreciate that you only get the best ending once you complete the game to 100%. Overall if you like Batman or action games in general this is one you cannot pass up.

If you've already played the rest of the Arkham series then you know what you're getting into! Arkham Knight throws you right back into the mix with faster combat and the addition of the Batmobile. The Batmobile may seem a little too strong in the early going, but who cares!?
The city doesn't seem as at first big due to the lessened travel time now that you don't have to glide everywhere, but that will just leave plenty to explore later. Getting to know landmarks can be tricky since you drive by everything so quickly.
Plenty of side missions early on and a new twist on the Riddler's tasks. This game doesn't let the series down!

Wow, I am really enjoying this game. I'm only about 25% through the game but I can't imagine my opinion of it will change. This is one of the first video games I've played in a while; I can't think of a better re-introduction to the gaming world. Graphics are great, the story is interesting, there's lots to do, the puzzles are challenging but generally not too challenging, the voice acting is incredible (what do you expect with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill?), and on and on. My only complaint is that the Batmobile can be hard to control, and that could just be that I need to learn how to work the controller better.

Wow....what a game! I'm more than halfway through the main story and I'm loving absolutely every minute of it. There are no superhero games out there that make you feel as capable or as powerful as the Rocksteady Arkham titles. I'm constantly surprised at the depth of the combat system and the variety of combos and gadgets you can use. The new Batmobile mechanic adds a lot to the mix as well. While some have been upset at the tank combat being included, I think it's a welcome diversion to all the crazy fun things you can do in Gotham. The voice acting and graphics are absolutely top notch as well. A++++ 10/10 100%

I haven't played much yet, but the story starts off by hooking you in unlike any other in the series. as far as I've made it, I don't love the Batmobile stuff but it's still fun and handles well. the normal gameplay is similar to the other Arkham games, but more refined and you have the gadgets to start with. you still have plenty to unlock, and upgrade to keep it going. the action is solid, and the graphics are astounding. I know this will get much replay value for me.

After about 3 hours of playing, let me just say I am amazed. A lot of games lately have been sub-par for all of the hype, but this one lives up to it. The story is well thought out and the voice acting is phenomenal and the graphics and fight scenes are flawless.
Only issue I have with the game is the controls. Selecting gadgets now feels like a chore whereas in the older games it was rather easy to select my gadget. Took forever for me to find detective mode due to them moving things around to fit in the batmobile controls.
This is an amazing game and it will drive me nuts until I finish it all the way through. I might just call in sick to work today to keep playing

This game was so much better than I expected it to be, the graphics are amazing, the story is cool, and batman has so many cool gadgets and technology. The best part is that there is so much to do, I've been playing it for days strait and I'm still only 40% done, it's a free world map and there's about 15 different missions to pick from aside from the main story. Totally worth $60, best game I've ever played!

If you enjoyed any of the previous entries in the Batman Arkham series, this one will not disappoint. Arkham Knight takes all the things that make the Batman games great and pumps it up on steroids. Larger scope, great variety of side missions and the BATMOBILE!! What more do you need? I held off purchasing my Xbox One console until Batman Arkham Knight was released and it was definitely worth it!!!

Might the best batman game yet! Batmobile is fun and adds a new element to the game. Only downside is that it can be difficult to drive during chases. The story is great and the side missions involve many of batman's enemies and have they're own elements so it's not too repetitive. You also unlock AR challenges throughout the city that give you upgrade points, but they are pretty difficult to beat.

I had high expectations for this game with all the hype that it was given, but I have to admit that I skeptical. The previous Batman games in the Arkham collection were mediocre to say the least. Of course all of the previous games were on the xbox 360, which I liked but does not compare to the xbox one in almost every category. I was afraid that this Batman game would be much like the previous ones, in that you spend the majority of the game in fight scenes, blindly tapping the buttons as fast as you can hoping to defeat the enemy. I find this style of game boring and redundant. However Batman: Arkham Knight is a different story. The fight scenes are drastically improved with a specific fight moves that makes the fighting more controllable and actually enjoyable. But that is not even in my top five improvements with this installment of the Batman series. The most obvious difference is the Mature rating. This is a much darker and violent version of Batman ever seen on video game consoles (which I personally love). It really gives you the feeling of the newer movies The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Another obvious difference is that this game has new makers from the previous games. The maker of this game also gave us Grand Theft Auto, and you can tell. It has the feeling of Grand Theft Auto in that it is an open world with numerous missions that are fun and challenging while being different from each other. The Batmobile, gadgets, hacking devices, and detective mode are all features that put the game above average. I was genuinely surprised by this game. It is like Grand Theft Auto, Assassin's Creed, and Watch Dogs all rolled into one with a Batman theme. It is totally worth checking out if you love Batman, or even if you just love good video games.

As a huge fan of Batman and the previous Arkham games, I was excited for this next gen title. Interesting storyline, great voice acting, awesome gameplay and graphics. At first I was worried the use of the Batmobile would detract from the gameplay, but the developers proved me wrong and its use is unique at times and exciting at others. A great fun game with lots of action.

The batmobile is an excellent additional to the game as a visual, mechanic and character in its own right. It feels like a batmobile should providing both overwhelming firepower and chocked full of so many gadgets James bond himself would be jealous. The non-find riddler challenges are great and I like the addition of the new combo challenges and races. That being said I the series has continued to decrease the amount of actual riddles to solve since Arkham Asylum using the find the question mark instead. This feels kinds cheap and the mechanic was tired back in GTAIII. I have found all the packages I ever want to find, no more thank you. Mark Hamil does an excellent voice acting job, really nailing the tone of his character. Sadly Kevin Conroy (Batman) seems to be calling it in at several points. This woodedness is accentuated by the times he does the voice well. The quest selection process is very nice and from an open world perspective it is done very well. The player is able to choose what they wish to do and not be pestered by an annoying NPC ever 5 minutes (thank you my GTA IV "friends"). Oddly enough the overall game feels smaller though both in terms of raw geography as well as the scope of the missions. The end verdict, play it now and play it often.

The good:
Story was good but would hAve liked more of it. The joker was excellent. Open world was pretty nice with an exception of game + required for certain aspects. I love it when games offer multiple different endings based on choices made throughout the game.
The bad:
Tank battles were repetitive and boss battles were sub par. Other than that, I couldn't think of much more. Maybe more difficult AR challenges.
Overall, it was a darn good but not the absolutely best thing ever since sliced bread sort of game.
7.5/10 - 8.5/10.

Not having played in depth the previous game I was reluctant to buy but definitely worth the money. The voice actors did a great job bringing the story to life. Really enjoyed the combat and gadgets used although the car driving could be better than again you wont be in it often.
Over all best game so far this year, you won't be disappointed.

I've been waiting patiently for this game since it was announced, and even with the delays, it was worth the wait. Great gameplay, awesome graphics (for the most part... could use some decent anti-aliasing at times) and the batmobile is wicked fun after you've gotten the hang of it. The story has had me hooked since the very first scene.

Picked it up for the Xbox One. First thing that strikes you is the graphics, unbelievable. Next is the gameplay I really like the free play maps and this one is good. Plenty of side missions and upgrades to work on. Story play also seems good though I'm only a third of the way through. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

The third and best installment in Rocksteady's amazing batman trilogy. Featuring the bat mobile and tank battles. It adds some great game play elements to it. The story is good and if you liked the first two games you'll love this one. I've played through once and am working on a second play through.
