Difficulty:
Hard
Time Spent:
20 to 40 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Masterpiece"
Gamers were enthusiastically waiting for the second present from Rocksteady Studios & you know what! After opening the present they will definitely feel that it is bigger better & full of surprises.

Environment:

The city looks gorgeous and dark, filled with dangerous criminals. They did an excellent job at Graphics & the environment is absorbing. Big map, lots of space to wander. It sets as one of the best examples for world building & asset management. It gives an immense pleasure to grapnel around and glide over the rooftops towards your destination marked.

Character Models:

Fantastic 3d character modeling such as Batman, Catwomen, The Two face, Ivy, Robin, Joker, Mr. Freeze etc. Perfect Animation given to the characters. Catwomen appears to be one of the sexiest characters designed for a game. The takedowns seem to touch the reality. The bosses and the characters are versatile & you are forced to get involved in their personalities.

Game-play:

Combat is simple but grows on you. New weapons are introduced in second edition that makes the game more fun & exciting. There are lots of upgrades available during gameplay. Each character has different weapons, combos & special skills i.e. batman, catwomen, nightwing, Robin.AI is pretty tough & active. Enemies get cautioned if we kill or takedown one of the guys from the group & they search you to take you down. In one of the levels i.e. fight with Joker (with hammer man) if the player doesn't have cluster Bomb it is difficult to complete that level. Joker fights like Superman along with his boys to kill you.

Story:

Story is captivating & you urge yourself to finish the game as early as possible. Arkham City has one of the most shocking ending to a game ever. Great voice acting by Kevin Conroy, Troy Baker, Mark Hamill, Grey Delisle, Tara Strong, Nolan North, Wally Wingert & Maurice LaMarche etc. Great dialogues written by the writer Joker saying "You're making me late for my spa treatment!" "Get out of the way, Bats! I've got a date with immortality!" Two face saying "Looks like your luck's run out Batman". Black Mask saying "First you fall then Gotham". Mad Hatter saying "When you wake up you will be mine" & last "Death is Cold Batman".


This comes to conclusion that Batman is the best Super Hero of all time even though he doesn't have any Super Natural Powers & will attract more people to become his fan. If you are a Hardcore Gamer you should absolutely play this game before you die.
