First off, if you've not played Batman: Arkham Asylum yet then you shouldn't touch City as City is a direct sequel, plus Asylum is an amazing game in its own right.

Now I'm going to assume you've beaten Asylum so that I can talk at length about City because this game not only lives up to the really high standard Asylum set, it surpasses it in every way.

The main difference between Asylum and City is its pacing and game world. While Asylum had a very direct, linear path due to its constricted size, City throws all of that out of the window giving you a huge open world complete with various sidequests, ranging from AR training sequences to practice your gliding skills to you unearthing many villain's plots, ultimately finding them and incarcerating them, and last but definitely not least, the Riddler trophies and riddles, which make a comeback in an even grander scale.

The story didn't lose any quality, the voice acting and overall feel of the game are as top notch as before, the combat has been further improved, with things such as multiple counters, and Batman can use several more gadgets than the previous game. However, Batman is not the only character you can play this time. Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing are all playable characters, the latter unfortunately not being in any story related content, only present in the Riddler's challenges mode. Every single one of these characters plays quite differently to the Dark Knight, and all have their strengths and weaknesses. So while you will have to replay challenges four times, one for each character, it'll feel fresh thanks to their different abilities.

Now that it has had its DRM removed, there's nothing stopping you from playing this game.
