Audio problem: When Batman types on the computer in Dr. Young's office, the clacking sounds are woefully out of synch with his hand movements, not to mention his fingers never actually touch the keyboard.

9. 7/10. My one of two Batman games in a tie for first place and favorite overall, the other being Batman:Arkham Origins. The atmosphere is well done, like you've descended into Hell. The music adds to this especially when you survey the whole asylum for the time in the game. Conroy, Sorkin, and Hamill are excellent here, just like they were in the cartoon. The boss fights lagged a little, though the best one, to me anyway, is when you fight Poison Ivy. That giant plant she's in is a step way up from games past where all she did was shoot a few arrows while letting her mutant plants fight. Here she's controlling it like they're one, more impressive. The story itself was a little nutty, using a steroid like drug to make Joker thugs mindless monsters to destroy Gotham City? Still it plays well and is definitely worth your time.
Trivia: After Dr. Young is killed in the warden's office, go back down the stairs but do not go through the archway. Instead, after going down the steps, turn right and you will come to a blank wall. Spray the explosive gel on the wall three times and then detonate it. The wall will break apart and you will find a secret room. Go inside and you will find blueprints for the Arkham City Prison Complex.
Question: Why didn't Arleen Sorkin reprise her role of Harley for Arkham City and Arkham Knight?

Answer: Arleen Sorkin had retired from voicing the character around the time this game was being made. Her last voice role as Harley Quinn was in DC Universe Online, which was released the same year as Arkham City (2011).
