Battastic – Batman: Arkham City reviews get rounded up

Boom. Ahead of next week’s release, Warner’s lifted the reviews embargo of Batman: Arkham City. Protip: scores are looking very, very, very good right now.

We got our copy this morning – I say we, I actually mean me, Pat’s still waiting on his copy – and the press kit is detailed from every corner.

I’ll get a video that shows you it up on the site soon.

Get the latest scores below. If you have any scores to add, do so below.

It’s out in the US next Tuesday and next Friday in the UK for PS3 and 360. The PC version launches next month.

A Wii U version will release eventually.

Still can’t get hyped for this game despite it’s critical acclaim.

Just played the first hour or so. Can’t actually say what the opening bit is all about due to the NDA, but OH. MY. WORD. :O

I loved the combat in AA. Turn off the attack warnings and keeping your combo going is a good challenge.

Great sequel to a already great game. Lots of variety, all of the tools Batman has to offer, great graphics, a stunning atmosphere transform this into a must-have title for Batman fans.

This may be the only game I make time for between now and the middle of next year. I hope it’s not too long.
