Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City is one of the best games out there. It has amazing graphics and a great dialogue. I, for one, used to love the comic book series when I was a kid, so witnessing them come alive is an amazing thing. Having said that, there are some things to be said about this game. In the comic book series, women villains were usually clad in tight fitting and rather revealing clothing. Because of the accuracy of this game compared to the comics, they did not fail to make this a part of their game. Even so, most PG-13 movies have at least ten times more revealing outfits. If your child has seen movies such as the Fast and Furious movies, or pretty much any romantic comedy that has been made in the past eight years, this is nothing compared to those. Also along with the sexual issues, there is some swearing. I think i recall one "F" bomb, and several words such as "h**l" and "d**n". This is, once again, nothing compared to any PG-13 movies. I would go as far as saying that the movie Speed Racer had more language than this game. Batman never curses, but his evil counterparts do occasionally. The game is based on violence, like almost every other game, but it is in true Batman style. You never kill anyone throughout the game, although you do knock them unconscious. Once again (again), violence portrayed in PG-13 movies is much more intense than in this game, so if your child is allowed to watch those types of action movies, there is not much difference from them. There is some smoking and consumption of alchohal, but this is not terrible for your child, unless they do everything that they witness on video games. Over all, this is a fantastic game with a great storyline. Actually, now that I think about it, this game is just like the Dark Knight, just with more villains. It is fun and good for all the ages of 13 and up, and a few mature 12 year olds. Have a great time enjoying this game.

This game is a legendary tale to the batman family but is a little extreme. There is more violence than the first game and there is a creepy twist and dark mystery. For example, a serial killer calls batman from pay phones from all over the city, making a scavenger hunt to save people from murder. Also, there is dark areas such as prisoners of a mental asylum yelling out threats to you and attacking you after jumping over a 15 ft. fence. You get kicked in the face, shot at hit with baseball bats and even kidnapped. There is also drug use and in one example, "Anyone got any smokes?" This is suggestive for kids any age, dark, weird. But as a bat lover this is an epic tale with a creepy twist.Mature audaudiences.

This is what I think. Alright, worst part is the apparel(Clothing). Catwoman extremely innapropriatly dressed. One reason I still can't get the game. Its also kind of scary. Two-face is....well, twoface but half his face is burned off. It does curse more often then arkham assylum. It does give your head a tight squeeze due to puzzles. You could alos hear the bones cracking when batman hits them, but no killing. But there are dead bodies. So overall, I suggest you are 15 to buy this.

Well, if you have a mature 13 year old kid, they should be able to play it. (Or 12 year old kid) The fighting isn't really gory at all, no blood and people just get knocked out. The sexual content isn't high, but isn't low. (Catwoman addon) This game does have a dark atmosphere, but if your kids have been to new york or live there, it won't disturb them. not much cursing involved either. A must have for 13 year olds.
