Arkham City, like its predecessor, Arkham Asylum, is an open world action video game that incorporates elements of stealth and predator tactics. All of the gadgets previously obtained in the first game will be present at the start of Arkham City, most of them will be possessing improved or new capabilities; for example, the Cryptographic sequencer can also track signals. An additional gadget has been revealed: smoke bombs to confuse enemies. The game incorporates more puzzle elements; the use of Batman's "Detective Mode", which highlights elements such as enemy skeletons and clues on-screen, is used to perform forensic activities such as tracing the origin of a sniper round. The player also has access to a criminal database that tracks the major villains across the city and the forensic puzzles much like the first game.[4] However, Rocksteady's art director David Hego stated that the use of Detective Mode will be changed to an "augmented reality mode", as they found players had completed Arkham Asylum using Detective Mode all of the time.[5] Optional challenges from the Riddler to collect hidden trophies placed around the city will also be present, but it will require additional effort to locate these, such as interrogation of men loyal to the Riddler

Why Batman Arkham City Just Might Be Better Than Uncharted 3

Quote:
Fall 2011 is going to be a big year for gamers. Perhaps bigger than usual because an onslaught of some of the industry's top franchises are getting new games in the upcoming season. Shooter fans should have plenty to chew on, but I'm a 3rd person action guy, and the two biggest names dropping are Uncharted and Batman Arkham City. While most people are salivating for the chance to get their hands on Drake's Deception, I might be one of the only people who thinks Arkham City might end up the better game.
Here's 5 Reasons why.

Gamescom 2011: Batman Arkham City - hands-on, 3D and Mr Freeze
Quote:
If one game experience is capable of tempting 3D naysayers to don a pair of active shutter glasses and gawp in wonder at their screens, it could be Batman: Arkham City. Warner Bros announced this long-awaited title's support for the oft-maligned stereoscopic technology at Gamescom. The title now joins Gears of War 3 as an interesting fresh recruit to consumer electronics' latest marketing drive.

PAX Prime 2011: Batman Arkham City Impressions & Details
Quote:
Yesterday, I got a chance to get some hands on time and questions answered about WB's highly anticipated title, Batman: Arkham City. This was my favorite title that WB had to show here at PAX, followed closely by Lollipop Chainsaw. It's likely that you already know a fair amount about the game already, so I won't waste your time with the basic run down. There isn't a lot that has changed visually in the game since Arkham Asylum (but as the saying goes: if it aint broke, don't fix it), however there are some nice changes and additions to the gameplay.

Batman: Arkham City Will Not Require Windows Live
Quote:
Reports suggest that the highly anticipated sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum will not force PC players to install the Windows Live service.

The news was broken via a tweet from online shop Green Man Gaming, relayed by Eurogamer. The tweet says:
"We've just received notice from Warner's [sic] that Batman is Games for Windows but NOT a Games for Windows 'Live' title!"
