Batman: Arkham City






Published by: Warner Bros. Interactive / Eidos Interactive
Developed by: Rocksteady Studios
Sequel of: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Setting: Prisoners from Arkham Asylum are set free on the roads of Arkham City in order to start “Protocol 10”, making the city full of convicted felons, most violent thugs and infamous super-villains and only one man can save them: The Dark Knight, with his incredibly marvelous gadgets, fighting tactics and the detective mode to stop his arch-nemesis the Joker and many others.

My View: Paul Dini, the same script writer as of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City has done a terrific job making the main storyline so interesting; however, the side-missions are too boring. Even after the main storyline finished, I could not even stop roaming in the Arkham City as playable characters: Catwoman, Nightwing and Robin. One of the most disappointing scene in the main storyline was of Robin, who literally came for 30 seconds. The game is again very short.

The new Game Plus mode has been introduced which can only be played after the entire game has been finished. The difficulty level of the Game Plus mode is so high that you actually feel that you are The Dark Knight. If you are playing the game for the first time, I recommend everyone to activate the Hints because without hints it’s extremely robust and tough to end the game, unless you have a lot of spare time and you want to feel like the Batman! I, without any doubt, will recommend this game for everyone to play. It is one of the best games that have been released in 2011.

Review: 9.5/10
