About this game

Rocksteady's 2011 sequel, which takes Arkham Asylum's single building and opens it into a walled off district of Gotham five times the size. Combat is the FreeFlow system: you strike in a direction and counter on a prompt. The crowd is what teaches you to use it, because a man with a stun baton has to be hit from behind, a shield has to be jumped over, and armour takes repeated hits before it gives. The locked rooms are the other half, where you work from the gargoyles and take men one at a time. The Riddler has left 440 challenges around the city, and Catwoman has a campaign of her own. It asks you to watch a room, not to press buttons faster.
