You'll need to find out who Hugo Strange is and what his plans are with Arkham City. So now, you're just going to have to shut down the prison from the inside-out. Wayne rewarded for his sudden and uncharacteristic interest in politics? Why, he's arrested and thrown into the very same prison he was trying to abolish. You tried to stop it as Batman, then again as Bruce Wayne, Gotham's billionaire playboy and most eligible bachelor and how is Mr. Arkham City - a mega-prison for super villains, nestled in historic downtown Gotham. And your city, your home town, Gotham, has just been blighted with the world's biggest textbook example and poster-facility for the very concept of Not-In-My-Backyard. After a couple of such occurrences, however, I realized that I could merely make Batman look a different direction if the sound shifted around the room, it was an in-game phone ringing. Sadly, I had to pause Arkham City more than once to make sure that what I was hearing was the pay phone sound effect, rather than my home phone.
I was actually able to use the sound to find things in the game, so the 3D spatial orientation of the sound effects was spot on, and helped to immerse me into the environment. The sound effects are very realistic (especially the ringing pay phones, much to my chagrin), from the gunfire to the sound of footsteps on various terrains. The music has a melodramatic edge that goes well with Batman, especially the gritty version portrayed in Batman: Arkham City. The musical scoring is done well, with grand, building orchestral pieces when the action gets hot. The environment is quite vast, with tall buildings providing a lot of skyline to investigate, along with buildings and even sewers that you'll have to make your way through in the course of progressing through the story. Pretty? No, there's nothing pretty there - but the graphic detail is astounding the graphics are really well done, from the detailed character models to the appropriately feeling environments to the cool post-processing in the Detective mode.
Arkham City, for the uninitiated, is a new mega-prison facility created by walling in a large section of Gotham's crime-infested downtown slums. Gotham is generally known to be a dirty, gritty place - a city destined for greatness that, somehow, began decaying before ever reaching that intended grandeur. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so I've heard.
