This is a big improvement over Arkham Asylum, which was already excellent. More of the same punchy combat, improved by more gadgets and a variety of enemy types. Combat often feels more like a puzzle now; you have to think about how and when to take out the enemies that require special moves. The story is even better than the first game. Being able to explore the whole city is much more open, like you'd expect a Batman game to feel rather than the small corridors of the Asylum. I really enjoyed the story on the whole, although there were a couple of annoying boss fights. The ending is particularly good. If you enjoyed the first one, absolutely play this.
