Batman: Arkham City
Gameplay:
I really love the game play in this game. Although, the issue I have with it is that it is very much like most fighting games where it becomes a button mashing game. Yes, I do understand there are combinations and such to use certain skills but they aren't 'needed' through out the whole game. You can easily get through the whole game without using a single 'special skill' in the combat section. The jump between normal game mode and the 'Game Plus' mode is really far. Completely takes the button mashing capabilities of the game out if you want to actually get anywhere in that difficulty.
Rating: 8.5/10 |
Story line:
Absolutely amazing story line. One of the best story lines in any game I have played recently. I haven't played the Arkham Asylum yet, so to be able to put this in my console and not feel like I have missed anything from the game before it is really awesome. I don't want to spoil anything about the story line because I would rather you go out and play it yourself but if I can say anything about it, it is really amazing. I don't give it a full 10 on my rating scale because there are a few things that kind of bothered me in the story line but that is only because I have read the comic strip up to date and the ending doesn't line up with the original comic, but that is the beautiful thing of it. It's almost it's own little universe of Batman.
