![]() I found the game to enjoyable but less to my standard gaming fare as it was very much like the Metroid Prime series – lots of corridors and backtracking to use newly unlocked tools and abilities to expand already-visited areas. I have played some of Arkham Asylum, mainly because of recommendations and a fantastic price on a Steam Holiday Sale last year. In fact, you may even catch me making the “yeah, but he doesn’t have any super powers” argument. ![]() In the past I’ve enjoyed the comics, the movies and even several games, I am by no means fanatical. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a Batman enthusiast. Now lets get to the detective work, shall we? “I know – I’ll record it and post it on the Internet!” So if you’re looking to buy a game to play now, or to make someone happy come holiday season, Batman:Arkham City is a safe bet. ![]() I succumbed to a phenomenon known as the forum effect, where a few people excite the masses and we throw ourselves headlong over the edge of blind gaming purchase.Īs I break down what works and what doesn’t, believe me when I say this title isn’t flawless, the issues I’m going to point out aren’t likely worth holding back a purchase of the game. There has been a ton of hype with regards Rocksteady Studios latest game, and while I was going to give this one a pass and wait for the PC release next month, the fine folks in our very own GamingTrend forum have played me like a fiddle. Not the batcave mind you, but some dingy moss-lined cave complete with centipedes and icky little creatures that scuttle across you while you sleep on the stone floor. If you haven’t heard about Batman: Arkham City or its 2009 predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum, you just might be living in a cave.
