Rocksteady opted for the latter, to their eternal credit, they decided that they could do more with Batman’s world, and they have attempted to deliver. Clean side up, the glowing face of lady liberty. The game looks the same, but fundamentally, it is different. The new Batman can choose fight or remain in the shadows? Stalk the streets or hunt from the rooftops. But the bricks and mortar of the structure are torn down, Metroid-style levels replaced by a largely open world. The characters, distorted and exaggerated to the edge of recognition, persist. Brutal, rhythmic, dominating combat remains. Keeping only what makes the game a Batman experience. Perhaps they could take their creation, a game that remains underrated even with a Metacritic score in the low nineties, and take it to pieces. There would be no shame in it Zelda recycles the same tropes and patterns every few years, telling the same broad tale to the delight of fans across the world. Rocksteady created an instant classic with Batman: Arkham Asylum, a bruising, Metroid-style tribute to Grant Morrison’s dense, symbolic graphic novel.Īrkham City was the British developer’s chance to cash in, to empty the Dark Knight’s utility belt and give us the same adventure with a different back-drop, new setting and new villains. The defaced coin is thrown skyward, spinning in the air. Stick to the familiar, dare to be different. Interactive EntertainmentĪvailable on: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, OnLive (Reviewed on Xbox 360)
