The game is called Batman Arkham City and it is a sequel to Batman Arkham Asylum and and the genre is action-adventure. The release date is EU October 21 of 2011, AU October 19 of 2011 and NA October 18 of 2011. The age rating is 15+ and the publisher is Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and the developer is Rocksteady Studios. It is been released for PS3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Wii U and OS X.
The objective of the game is to stop Joker and Hugo Strange and also get the cure of Joker because he has poisoned Batman. The reason you have to stop Hugo Strange is because he knows his identity and he activates Protocol 10 which is meant for Batman. The riddler gives Batman riddles to solve which will save innocent civilians but these are side missions.
The gameplay is really amazing because the combat flows nicely and its not a stop start fighting game because when you fight its more free flow.

If you are a beginner gamer it has an easy difficulty and if you are a casual gamer there is a difficulty normal and if you are an expert gamer there is a difficulty hard. The movement of Batman and Catwoman is good they move with ease and Catwoman can reach places Batman cannot reach. There are collectibles to collect which are riddler trophies which go towards tracking down The Riddler.
You can play as Catwoman because she has her own story in Arkham City and once you have completed the game you can switch between Batman and Catwoman and certain parts of the game.
There are different outfits you can use for Batman and Catwoman but you can only use them after you have completed the game or if you replay the game in + mode which is a hell of a lot harder. It gives you all the gadgets and upgrades but takes away the symbol which tells you to counter.

The graphics are really good and the speech is in sync with the movement of the mouth. The engine they used for Batman is Unreal Engine 3. The graphics are good because the game looks realistic and when its a cut scene and theres a close up of batman his emotions look real and are perfect.
This engine has been used for Gears of War franchise, Unreal Torment, I am Alive, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell franchise and Bioshock Infinite.
It is still using the challenge mode from Batman Arkham Asylum which you can fight of a wave of enemies until you lose all your health. A predator mode which is where you stealthy take down enemies as fast as you can. For both these game modes you can play as Batman in any one of his suits and the same for Catwoman. At the end of a challenge you are given your score and it goes to a leaderboard where you can see what over players got in the challenge. You can also play as Night Wing or Robin if you buy the pack online and you can chage there suits as well.

There is also a Dlc for it which is called Harley Quinns Revenge and for most of it you play as Robin. Harley Quinn's Revenge, the final chapter in Batman: Arkham City that adds more than two hours of original gameplay. Harley Quinn's Revenge sends players back into Arkham City to face their final challenge as they interchange between playing as both Batman and Robin. Utilize each of the characters' unique combat and investigative skills to uncover Harley's vengeful plan and shut the gates on the urban mega-prison forever. In addition to experiencing a new storyline, fans can explore new environments and face-off against Harley's all new gang of thugs.
There are side missions to do like AR Training which is where you have to file through rings around Arkham City, acts of violence which is where you have to save political prisoners from the thugs.
Overall the game is really good and has a really interesting and exciting story and I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
