"After playing through the first three or so hours of Batman: Arkham City, which amounts to five chapters (plus two from the Catwoman DLC), I have to say that I’m impressed, but worried about the direction the game is going. A few things have me concerned at this point: the combat is far too similar to Arkham Asylum, the use of the detective mode is just as limited, enemies take too long to die, and the Catwoman portions of the game have yet to add any substance to the story."

I personally really enjoyed the combat in AA, so I doubt the fact that it hasn't changed in the sequel will bother me. But I think I may wait for the PC release, so we'll see what I think about it once I've gotten a chance to play it for myself.
i love batmans fighting system, so damn good looking
That opening scene with Bruce Wayne was cool.
"the combat is far too similar to Arkham Asylum"
Well, it would be it's a sequel. And the combat in Asylum was magnificent. We have a hole picker here. The worst kind of "game journalist".
Hey shitty reviewer. Quit your day job.
