Hello guys hope all of you are doing good.
Another game is complete. It is review time!
Story:
Catwoman is in an apartment trying to steal a device from Harvey Dent. Tyger guards captured Wayne mid-speech. Professor Hugo Strange was the leader of Tyger guards and he did experiments on Bruce.
Strange knew about Batman’s identity.
Oswald Cobblepot wanted to even things with Bruce in the Prison. Bruce made short work of them and climbs up to the roof of ACE chemicals building. The cowl and suit had been put on and the dark knight goes to rescue Catwoman in Two-Face courthouse. They were taken care of easily. Catwoman was oblivious to Protocol 10. Batman saved Catwoman from Joker’s remote controlled sniper. Turns out that the shot came from the clock tower and it was rigged with bomb. Batman smashed the window and glided to safety. On the way to trace the signal of the broadcast. Batman finds Bane. Bane was trying to destroy the Titan formula containers. Later Bane deceives Batman by trying to taken him out. Batman outsmarted Bane and destroyed the Titan filled containers in front of Bane. As always Riddler had his trials and enigmas all around Arkham City. Batman located Joker’s hideout in the Industrial District’s Steel Mill. This is where Batman made the Remote Electrical Charge gun. Batman found Harley and the fake Joker who was in a wheelchair dead. Harley put on a show for Batman. The real Joker came from behind and doused Batman with Joker’s blood.
Catwoman’s side of the story behind. Catwoman seeks Ivy’s help to get into Dr Strange’s confiscated goods.
Now Batman needed Mr. Freeze help to create an antidote.
Penguin had captured Mr. Freeze in the Museum and seized his Ice gun in Batman destroyed Penguin’s communication Jammer device. The knight enter the museum. Batman makes a offer to Mr. Freeze that he could not refuse. Mr Freeze’s gun had a security override had his gun fell into anyone other than him. Batman defeated Penguin and his gang however Penguin had found an old entity, Solomon Grundy. This undead monster was powered with electricity. The knight bested him then and there using explosive gel. Freeze returns the favour to Penguin by locking him in the display and explains to Batman about the cure. Batman then understands what he must do, seek the blood of Ra’s. Just then an assassin threatens Batman and flees the area leaving a blood trail. Batman follows the trail to discover the Lost City. Talia then shows the trial of Ra’s to Batman. Bruce passes the test of Ra’s. Ra’s knew that there would be no better candidate than Bruce to command the league. He even held his own daughter hostage for it. The knight threw a reverse batarang and extracted Ra’s blood. Batman also discovered how Strange was put in charge of city through Mayor Quincy Sharp. Turns out Strange reached out to Sharp in the asylum had powerful friends with huge sum of cash. They funded the whole campaign and won the elections meanwhile Strange did his experiments in the asylum. Victor Zsasz was also captured thanks to his phone calls where he painfully explained how he lost everything in a poker game to Penguin. Deadshot was also captured thanks to the clues he had left in the places of his assassination.
Batman found the list of people deadshot going to hit. Therefore finding him in the vicinity and taking him down was piece of cake.
Mr Freeze created the antidote but did not comply as his wife was captured by the clown. Hence batman beat Freeze but the antidote had already been taken by Harley Quinn. Mad Hatter made a drug and gave it to Batman. That made him see what he wanted the most. Bruce with his iron will disobeyed the orders given by Hatter and took all of the thugs along with out cold. Finally the Bat is back inside the Steel Mill looking for the Joker. Joker was beaten along with his horde of thugs and mutant. An explosion to the ceiling made debris over Batman. Talia came in for the rescue and offered the Joker with immortality but also left him a clue.
Ivy agrees to help the Cat.
Another mysterious figure by the name Azrael shows up. He watches Batman to see if he is ready. If he is the one the prophecy spoke of Azrael formally introduces himself and about his cult. He warns Batman about unforeseen events.
Catwoman steals the goods she was after. She later decided to save Batman.
Batman goes after Strange, Bruce finds that Ra’s al Ghūl was behind this madness all along. The tower was exploded thanks to Protocol 11 that Strange had set up secretly. This is how Ra’s fell to his death. Joker had Talia and lured Batman in the theatre. Talia took control of the situation. She took the sword from Joker and punctures through his stomach. Batman understood that it was Clayface that was stabbed. It was too late as by then the real Joker had shot Talia. Clayface swallowed the antidote so Batman went inside and sliced him to pieces. The Knight now drinks half the serum. Joker stabbed him making him drop the glass container. The Joker had had his last laugh. He died for real this time. Before Joker died, Batman confessed that he would have given the antidote despite his crimes over the years.
Characters:
The side villains do make the main story interesting. None of Batman’s allies namely Nightwing and Robincame in handy except Oracle. Catwoman is an opportunist yet this time she had the conscience. Strange himself was no threat.
Arsenal/Gadgets:
Batman had his batarang, batclaw, explosive gel, cryptographic sequencer, remote controlled batarang, smoke bomb, line barrier, ice blast, disruptor, remote electrical charge gun. Loved using all of these.
Combat:
I played in hard mode so the enemies were harder to take down. They were more sharp with guns. Similar to Arkham Asylum a takedown can be activated if a combo of 8x is achieved. It can be reduced to a 5x if upgraded. I had also activated batswarm. This is where Batman calls a swarm of bats which stuns enemies in close proximity. Catwoman has a similar move, she swings her whip in all directions that stinks multiple enemies.
Enemy Type:
Two-Face’s thugs and with guns too. Strange’s Tyger guards. Joker’s thugs and inmates, one armed brutes and Titan infused thug. Penguin’s boot lickers. Independent inmates that were moved from blackgate and the asylum.
Costumes:
This time I had: Animated Batman, Dark Knight Returns, Year One Batman, Earth One Batman, Sinestro Corps, Batman Inc. Batsuit, 1970’s Batman and Batman Beyond Batman. I give a 9.
Thankfully no glitches were witnessed.
