Expect your playthrough of the main story to take roughly two to three times as long as Asylum. Add some innocent civilians for good measure and you have the perfect storm of chaos and violence that can only be a job for Batman.Ĭity is a much larger game than Arkham Asylum, covering a far greater area and telling a much longer story. Now imagine a lunatic politician is in charge of it all, being aided and advised by a mad scientist. Imagine all of Gotham’s unsavoury types, including some very famous faces from Batman’s infamous rogue’s gallery, all locked in, enjoying their turf wars, ruling the streets and doing what they do best. Lucky for you all, I love a challenge.Īrkham City takes place within an enormous fenced off section of Gotham. Now, you all know I don’t do spoilers, so filling you in on the basic plot without spoiling the first game will be moderately challenging. Which is probably one of the many reasons I’m such a happy person! Anyway, I digress…īatman Arkham City is the next instalment in Rocksteady’s Arkham series, picking up several months after the first game. Well, you did all get pre-warning on the title page of my blog that this is basically the inside of my head, so what can I say? The inside of my head has a lot of games in it, and Batman is pretty much a permanent fixture in there.
