Batman: Arkham City Review

I'd like to start this of warning yes this may spoil the story for you if you have not played the game yet. I'm not trying to give any spoilers, but after finishing alot of the game I think I can give a rather direct and honest approach to this game.

      Arkham Asylum was in depth I will admit it slowly drew me in between takedowns and clever gadget approaches I was hooked. We now have Arkham City...... Which I will admit has drawn me in further..... between some clever gameplay and a story that I'm told will change when I finish everything I'm hooked. There's a bit of lookback to Arkham Asylum as you can see it from some of the rooftops and some characters you thought were dead well aren't. They hint at Killer Croc and to be honest after the last game I'm still a bit jumpy if they claim he's loose.

    There's a nice change of pace with this title as you get a play off with catwoman whom isn't that great to use especially with a group of well armed thugs but still quick and agile enought to get the job done. What impressed me honestly was appearances of Ras Al Ghul and Mr Freeze. Two Face doesn't get enough play, but they make it clear this story can continue. The thing that may lead to help or hurt this series though is their promising add on content. Bringing in both Robin and Nightwing as playable hero's with their own challenges.

    Overall I agree with alot of the supporters of this game an instant 10 of 10 this game is worth having between the side missions and story alone. They mix enough of the comic series in to keep you playing and between a "mysterious watcher" and some crafty tricks to keep you thinking Arkham city is a great gaming experience. Infact I'm going to simplify this further and give you a listing of the things I don't like about this game.

1.   sometimes off controls (but that may be my controller)
2. Catwomans defense scheme takes some getting used to

That's it.... Really..... normally I find a few flaws and some things that aggrivate me to no end, but once you get some of the tricks of the trade everything seems amazingly easy and you can't help but ponder what type of trap awaits you next.
