HOT-Batman Fails to Instill Fear in the Hearts of Arkham City Reviewers

Did you know Batman: Arkham Asylum holds the Guinness World Record for 'Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever'? Judging from the initial reviews for Batman: Arkham City, that's probably no longer the case.

Arkham Asylum raised the bar not only for comic book-based video games, but action adventure games in general, so when Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer Rocksteady announced they were making a sequel, my first thought was "Great, now they can screw it all up!" I mean, how could they possibly improve upon the formula established in the first game. The mood, the story, the characters; everything was pretty much perfect, aside from some odd architectural decisions (who puts gargoyles inside a building?), and I couldn't imagine a better game.
