Released October 18, 2011
The Dark Knight is back in one of the most epic sequels of
2011. Since Arkham Asylum, a portion of Gotham has been walled off to house the
criminals and psychopaths from the asylum and Blackgate prison. Obviously,
something is awry, and Batman is on the case as he enters the bowls of fortress
known as Arkham City. But to his surprise, it quickly becomes a desperate fight
to save his life along with trying to stop something called Protocol 10.
I absolutely loved the first game, and was completely
excited for the next installment. The combat system was more fluid, including
more gadgets, takedowns, and allows for the character to disperse more goons at
once. Not only can you play as Batman, though. Catwoman, Nightwing, and Robin
are playable in the challenge missions. Catwoman, however, has her own missions
within the campaign, as well. It is rumored that the Dick and Tim get their own
campaign missions, but we’ll see. For now, this has to be in my top three
favorites of 2011.
