Arkham City Details: Bat Signal And Upgraded Combat
Batman: Arkham CitySome have complained that Arkham City won't feature a drastically bigger world in comparison to Arkham Asylum.
But you shouldn't pass judgment so soon, especially when you recall the greatness of the first game, and remember that developer Rocksteady Studios is capable of delivering another masterpiece. You will undoubtedly appreciate the new features and more have recently come to light. The first - and perhaps our favorite, simply for historic and atmospheric reasons - is the Bat Signal. The famous signal will mark your next mission and although the world may not be GTA gigantic, you'll still have to battle plenty of freakish escapees en route to most any mission. Occasionally, you'll need to reach the location of the Bat Signal within a certain time limit, and that's when the baddies will become even more numerous and challenging. Thankfully, we'll have the benefit of an upgraded combat mechanic, which will allow you to take down multiple enemies at once (we'll even be able to use some nifty gadgets during fighting).
If things get too hot on the streets, though, you can simply use your handy-dandy grappling hook and lift yourself out of trouble. Hence, you don't have to beat down everyone you see; at times, it may be a much better idea to circumvent the wackos. We just can't wait for Arkham City...and it's too bad we have no choice, as it won't arrive until fall of 2011.

AA's system is devastating, you could easily take out at least 10 guys using your fists and skills....
OFF TOPIC: Did you know that Arkham's city plans are hidden in AA in a secret room??? Couldn't believe it until I saw them...
Rocksteady hid an impressive easter egg with that one...

all i want is cool characters, more gadgets, better detective mode, more stealth missions, and a deeper combo system.
beating enemies in AA was fun, but it was too much of a button masher, they need to add in heaps of combos.
instead of a 2 button press affair.

You needed to use your wits and reflexes in order to build a combo, maybe you need to play it again...
You ever heard of a 100+ combo?? It's not exactly just button-mashing...

a combo is stringing together different types of moves, something AA felt like it never did.
CLOS is exactly the same, you feel like your constantly doing the same move over and over again no matter which combination of buttons you push.

If you master all moves, it's hardly a "button masher" game, try to apply it in combat, then come back and tell me all you did was pushing buttons...
