Review: Batman Arkham City

10/10

Batman Arkham City was the direct follow up to Batman Arkham Asylum, and takes place about one year after. This game featured all of the things from Arkham Asylum but improved on all aspects.

This game is the first, and only video game I have ever played that played like a movie. The complexity of the story and the expert use of each character.

The games opening sequence (Unless you have the Catwoman DLC) is Bruce Wayne at a press conference at the containment wall of the super prison built in the heart of Gotham taking half of the island for the city's criminal underworld. He is there announcing his campaign to shut down Arkham City when the prison's guards storm the conference and take Wayne into the prison.

This game features two story lines inside of one. The first being a struggle to find out what Hugo Strange's plan called protocol 10 and how to stop it, but doing so in a way that he will not reveal your biggest secret, your identity as Batman. The second story is The Joker and his plan to distribute his poisonous blood through the city and keep everybody from taking it, problem is The Joker has infected you. You must save the lives of everybody in Gotham as well as Batman's greatest foe.

This game is truly not flawed in any way what so ever and is a must for any video game aficionados.
