Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been wanting to play this game since it was announced and now I finally got the chance after getting a PS4 before Thanksgiving. This game is everything I wanted with an engrossing story and great graphics. I can't wait to see what Rocksteady cooks up next.

Arkham Knight is the final game in the Batman Arkham series. Its a mix of stealth, action, and tank combat. Personally, I believe that the tank portions of the game overshadow the stealth aspects of the game, which was what made the Arkham series popular to begin with.The team at Rocksteady absolutely nails Batman, his enemies, and his allies in terms of characterization. The story was very exciting and kept me guessing the mysterious Arkham Knight's identity until the very end. I suppose to the game's benefit and detriment, that there are more characters to play beyond Batman. While they are diverse and play differently, the game gives you little to no time to play with them, and even less time exploring Gotham with them. That being said, there is enough side content that deviates from the main story to keep you engaged long after Batman's night is over. Overall, I would it an 8/10.

Arkham Knight continues the fantastic Batman video game series tradition. Although many users complain about the Batmobile driving mode, at least it adds a new dimension of gameplay to this tried and true franchise. Even if this new feature is not for you, do yourself a favor and pickup this great game, you will not be disappointed with the gameplay, plot, characters, or combat.

The game is awesome, but the first pre-owned one was malfunctioning & I had to exchange it. I'm not a fan of buying used games, but at least they changed it for one that works.

This is by far, the best Batman game. They did a great job of expanding the story. The addition of the Batmobile makes it way more fun too. All of the DLC was much better than in past games. There is enough stuff to keep you busy for months.

This is how a Batman game should play. Excellent story and great playability. Runs so smooth

great game. well made, good story, and super fun. must play.

Excellent graphics expanded maps for more free roam capabilities. Story line is amazing. I really enjoyed the way they incorporated The Joker throughout the whole game. 10 out of 10 would buy again

This game had so much promise. For the most part, it is a great game. Terrific story, great action, great voice acting, and lots of depth. However, it's newest addition, the batmobile, is what destroys the game. The car itself looks and sounds great, but it handles really bad. I mean shockingly BAD. Then the game forces you in the car constantly. In fact, most of the boss fights require the use of the car. That drove me nuts. I mean, who wants to fight Deathstroke in a stinking tank??? I don't . That's another thing I should bring up. The batmobile has guns on it. Therefore you will find yourself in a lot of "tank" battles. Way too many, if you ask me. At one point, near the end of the main story, you are thrust into 4 consecutive tank battles. Give me a freaking break. Over and over and over again. After while it becomes a huge bore. I play Batman games to soar above the skies, play the detective, fight bad guys and use gadgets, not this tank battle garbage. And don't get me started on the Riddler challenges, which also require the use of the batmobile. Wait until you get a load of his ridiculous race challenges. They are terrible. Take 90% of the batmobile usage out and this would be a terrific game. I really got the impression that Rocksteady just got lazy and ran out of ideas.

This is a relative review. On it's own, it's a 3.5/4 star game. I gave it three stars based on comparing it to the previous Arkham games, all of which I thought were better. My main beef was with the Batmobile. I couldn't wait to play it, and at first it is fun as heck to drive around, running over and/or blowing stuff up. But the controls were horrible when you needed to be exact and precise, there were times when I actually hated and despised driving the Batmobile, and to compound the problem they made the Batmobile way too integral to finishing the missions of the game. 60% of this game felt like a run-of-the-mill racing game, and not a very good one at that. Even the Scarecrow and Keaton Batman add-ons are driving-centric. I loved all the past Arkham games because it really felt that playing as Batman in those games was as perfect a Batman experience as you could get; unfortunately, this game offered the least amount of actual Batman game play. That was a huge minus, and one that made this game feel like half the Batman game the prior Arkham games were. That's not all that was wrong with this game. The identity of the antagonist was entirely obvious to anyone who's read a Batman comic in the last 10 years. There was very little Batman vs. Supervillians matches in this game compared to the prior one's. And that ending... SPOILERS ... much like the ending to the Dark Knight trilogy, if the writers really think Batman is just going to quit for any reason, they obviously know very little about the Batman mythos. And I'm not even counting whatever that Bat-shadow-demon thing was supposed to be at the end. The only aspect that really saved this game from being a total let down was the amazing voice work of Mark Hamill as the Joker. Even his dialogue was fantastic, having me laughing out loud many times. Great work all around there. I would still recommend this game, but much more to racing game fans than Arkham/Batman fans. Still, though, I hope Rocksteady isn't done with DC properties. With all the Justice League hints and easter eggs in the game, it would be great to see them take a crack at a JL game, especially with the movies coming up soon.

Severely terrible game! Rated mediocre because of Batman title. Too much darkness!

Batman Arkham Knight is the conclusion of Rocksteady's critically acclaimed "Batman" video game series, which was first released in 2009. The game has all the usual trappings you'd expect from an "Arkham" game, in addition to a slew of new gadgets, skills and of course, the Batmobile. The story is very good overall, though my one criticism is that the game expects you to finish with 100% completion and finish ever side mission and objective to get the "true" story mode ending. I understand incentivizing side quests, but don't necessarily agree with the idea of not getting the final payoff of the story without completing them. Overall, definitely recommended for action game fans and of course, comic fans.

Another great game in the Arkham series. The batmobile is fun to drive but its use is a little over the top in this game. Otherwise, a very fun game.

Overall this game does not live up to the hype surrounding it. The story is fairly strong, better than Origins at least, but I take issue with more of the functional aspects. The controls are clunky somehow despite being mostly the same scheme from the previous Arkham titles. The game is not very immersive at all since they removed the on-screen weapon select and have replaced it with a pause-style like page to access instead. And don't get me started on the Batmobile. It's quite evident to me that Rocksteady implemented the Batmobile strictly as fan service and didn't take into account things such as their environment not really being built for driving vehicles. There are several areas where you will drive into structures (bridge foundations are the biggest offender) and rather than being stopped cold, which would admittedly be endlessly frustrating as well, you just drive right through unimpeded. The controls for driving are awful and battle within it are more of a chore than excitement. I found myself traversing the map by gliding much, much more than utilizing the Batmobile. The fun and danger of being spotted by an NPC while creeping on a roof or gliding a little too low are gone, as are the same fun and danger of traversing the map on ground level because operating at ground level will typically mean you're driving the Batmobile. The visuals are very strong and the bosses are masterfully designed. I haven't finished the story just yet but it does seem better put together than Arkham Origins and I do find myself a little more invested than I was with the story in Arkham City. As stated earlier, this game is overhyped in my opinion, likely just for being tied to the Arkham series. I don't see it as one of the better games this year. It's more or less serving as something to pass the time until better games come out.

I have played all the recent WB Batman games on either PC or PS3. This does not disappoint. Some of the best graphics I have personally seen on the PS4. Seeing the all the graphic details like water bead-up on Batman's cape is amazing. The gameplay is exactly what you would expect from the franchise. Nothing radically new but rock solid all around. A must have for PS4 owners in my opinion and a definite must have for fans of the franchise.

Very fun game with lots to do. Game is heavy on using the Bat Mobile for missions, which seems to have mixed reviews. If you liked the batman series before you'll love this one.

The game is good. I mean it's an Arkham game so it's essentially the same as all the others. The riddler trophies are not very creative this time around. It is a pain to be forced to use the Batmobile so much and to always be forced to have these stupid tank battles. The Arkham Knight character is lame and his boss battle is absolutely horrible. The overall story of the campaign is bad. The game however is still fun enough to play but hopefully this really is the last game. I've heard rumor of a sequel to Origins. Sigh.

Excluding the Arkham Orgins prequel, this game is intended as the swan song for the Arkham trilogy of games. Rocksteady has done an amazing job creating this game. The Batmobile is very cool. The gadgets are fun. The missions are varied and interesting. I was very satisfied with the ending. I won't hold my breath, but I hope it doesn't end here.

Not in original packaging, and the game was damaged.

For those who played the first two arkham games, you will be disappointed by how the story turns out in the final game of the arkham trilogy. The combat is mostly good outside of when you're not using the batmobile. As most review outlets have said in their reviews, the batmobile is heavily forced on you and the game's pace slows down when you have to use it in tank mode. If you have not played the previous arkham games, you may enjoy the story more but for me, I did not enjoy it as much as the other two.
