At one point in the game, I was so engrossed in doing the side-missions that I sort of became detached with the main story. You really don’t have to do the main missions or the 12 lengthy side-missions that are available to you in the game. No one else could have done justice to the game except Rocksteady. You must be wondering, “Does that mean I can kick their asses using Catwoman?” Oh yes, you definitely can.įor someone who loves the Batman so much, this game is a dream to play. What makes it so exciting is that, AC contains a massive list of characters from the Batman saga. There are a lot of twists and turns here in the game, as you will witness while playing. This time, the main villain is Hugo Strange, who threatens to destroy Gotham City. The story takes place after the events of Arkham Asylum, and The Joker is back. I’m glad Rocksteady went with the latter because gliding through the skies of Gotham City is a surreal feeling. While this has resulted in less detail density indoors, you get to truly experience what being Batman really is like- the entire city is yours to explore. Yes, this game is that good.įor starters, Rocksteady has given you more room to maneuver, as it’s a semi-open world this time around, compared to the linear focused areas of Arkham Asylum.
Fast forward to 2011, we are met with the same scenario, but it’s AC that is in the dominating position this time.
When playing AC, there was only one thing going through my mind- “I wish all superhero games were like this.” But they aren’t, and that’s what makes AC so special.Īrkham Asylum was one of the surprise hits of 2009, but was overshadowed by Uncharted 2. It’s up there with the Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2 when you look at the sheer amount of improvements in the game. Arkham City (henceforth AC) is a massive leap over its predecessor. Rocksteady showed glimpses of talent when Batman: Arkham Asylum came out, but after playing Batman: Arkham City, it’s clear that they have ascended to the heavens.
