Joker is menacing, hilarious and quintessentially insane, whereas Conroy’s Batman is memorable and just superb, overall. SOUND: Possibly the best voice cast ever assembled (for a fan, anyway), Mark Hamill’s work as Joker has, for my mind anyway, eclipsed his work as Luke Skywalker. A mixed bag overall, but the frame rate issues are extremely disappointing. There’s also occasional texture popping, but nowhere near as bad as some of the offenders out there. From silky smooth to obvious juddering, and that’s just with Batman zipping across the city. It’s not game breaking, but it is noticeably poor and is worrisome, especially when the frame rate appears to be so inconsistent. But overall, there is some unfortunate slowdown during scenes with a lot of enemies. It’s a boon that you can play the entire game on the Gamepad, and it even looks great on there with no performance reduction. Joker looks mad, Batman looks serious, it’s fantastic.Īrmoured Edition however, does sadly have faults. While some games that target realistic visuals end up with an uncanny valley effect, or perhaps a far too shiny feel to things, Arkham City excels through its gritty, yet strangely vibrant appearance. A particular highlight is when the camera closes in on our protagonist or his enemies, especially Joker. The Gotham Skyline has never looked so good in a game, Arkham City is a Batman fan’s wet dream, absolutely gorgeous.

More akin to the gritty, Frank Miller Batman, your suit will carry damage from general wear and tear as you glide around the city, beating up goons and saving citizens. GRAPHICS: If you’ve never played either of Rocksteady’s Batman games before, boy, are you in for a treat. The story continues apace from here, with plenty of twists and turns and an over abundance of villains, which slightly harms the overall story. Of course, being the noble idiot, Batman is happy to die if it means Joker dies too, but Joker has once again gone too far, informing Batman (and thus, the player) that his blood will also be appearing in Gotham’s water supply too. You see, Joker is dying, and now, so is Batman. Unfortunately for Batman, Joker managed to get one over on the caped crusader, and as the player awakens, Joker is giving him a blood transfusion. Shortly afterwards – and we’ll try to keep spoilers to a minimum here – Bruce escapes to the rooftops and dons the suit, before uncovering Joker’s involvement in the plot. Strange mentions something about Protocol 10 and disappears, allowing his goons to keep Bruce entertained. But Bruce Wayne is kidnapped in the middle of his speech and taken inside the City, to meet Hugo Strange (the man in charge of Arkham City), who reveals that he knows his secret identity and that if Bruce doesn’t keep his mouth shut and play nice, he’ll tell that secret to the world.

STORY: At the start of Arkham City, Bruce Wayne is protesting on stage about Arkham City, a prison that is designed to keep all of the dregs of society inside, with huge walls keeping the good from the bad. The follow up question will involve deciphering what the original question actually means, so pay attention. With a writer like Paul Dini involved, and fantastic casting like Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill ( the Batman and Joker in my opinion) you know that there’s a substantial pouring of love involved in the game, and Rocksteady had already proven themselves with Arkham Asylum, but this Wii U version, Armoured Edition, is developed by WB Games Montreal, so the big question is whether Wii U owners will be getting the version they need, or the version they deserve. Interactive Entertainmentĭespite being released well over a year ago, no doubt that, like me, you might have been looking for an excuse to play Arkham City again.
