Batman Arkham City Review.

Back in 2009 a relatively small company by the name of Rocksteady released  Batman Arkham Asylum. This game was a long time coming but no one knew how well it would be accepted into the gaming world. Batman Arkham Asylum is currently the holder of many and when I say many I mean many gaming awards including but not limited to multiple game of the year awards and is currently the Guinness Book of World Records holder for Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever.

Fast forward 2 year and we now have Batman Arkham City the game takes place a couple of months after the first game. After the whole Joker debacle in Arkham Asylum the mayor or who ever the head honcho in Gotham is decided to put all of the bad guys in small city in the middle of Gotham. (who ever the person in charge is needs to be shot but then again that is just my opinion.)

As all hell breaks loose Batman appears to save the day. Rocksteady has promised a very in depth and amazing game.

So on to the review I have been playing the game for about 8 hours and I will say that this game is amazing. All the hype that has surrounded this game for the last couple of months it lives up to it all if not surpasses it.  The way the game starts really depends on you you can either start out as catwoman by downloading the DLC or you can start as Batman.

The controls are as fantastic as they were in the first for me the camera is alittle buggy but you get used to it and you so learn that it will not bother you. There are some new toys this time around like the remote charge gun this stun gun that can power up doors and at the same time knock the shit out of thugs and bosses..

The graphics much like in the first game are still incredible I love that Rocksteady has put there spin on all of the characters in the game they also put in a bunch of skins and extras that you will enjoy. For example if you bought the game at Best Buy you get early access to the Robin DLC. Everything will be out later this month though like the Nightwing pack and the Batman Skins pack.

One of the newest additions to the game is the New Game + mode if you beat the game on normal or hard you unlock this in this mode all your enemies are more challenging but you get to keep all of your upgrades and experience that you have accumulated during your first play through. All in all this is a great game sure I have only been playing for alittle while but every moment from the beginning to now has been exciting and incredible this is a definite buy for anyone that loves Batman.  Or just wants to play and incredible comicbook superhero game.

I know the game is out already but stay tuned for our coverage of the Arkham City Panel that was at NYCC this year..

Until Next Time Geeks..
