Batman: Arkham City Review


After ‘Batman: Arkham Asylum’ now comes ‘Batman: Arkham City’. Arkham Asylum was such an awesome game and its successor is also the same. The game is built on Unreal 3 engine.

When you move in the Arkham City first time, the amazing city will hit as you will try to explore by staring upon the skyline ripe. The city is full of information that it will not take much time to engulf.

The area which they have worked out in this game is the Hero itself Batman’s animations:  the way he glide the way he jumps over the building and then from one building to another is fluid. The free flow combat system is awesome that comes with newer moves that looks smooth and natural.  Every character in the game from Batman to Joker, all is consummately designed. 

The scenery is altered as compared to previous game that is appreciating but the navigation system is not properly worked out. You will take time for finding an objective, for e.g. an entry gate. Every time you go on encircling yourself in the display for finding the entities there that will take time. However you will get familiar to it once you start playing. Another feature which many of you won’t like is the unlock system. The unlock system they have provided is used redundantly as compare to earlier game where you revisited the upcoming areas with improved skills as and when you started.


However no matter what feature you like and what not. This game is a must buy game. Rocksteady has worked hard to produce such an awesome game that a gamer will enjoy playing.

Batman: Arkham City
Price: Rs 2,599 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Rs 999 for PC

Reviews:

The User experience is very nice as there is no stuttering as in Android. The fluidity has surpassed the iPhone. This is not the phone for HD Gamers. It's having a classy Student look and business class persons can use it. Its for them only. Its Battery is replaceable. Its Bluetooth Capability is limited as we can’t share file on it and you will need Zune for PC sync. It has no Front Camera so another limited feature of Video Calling. No Card Slot for memory extension.
Its price in India is Rs.18,999.
Well Nokia’s new Smartphone is having a nice classy look but nowadays people want features. In the upcoming days they have to come up with some exquisite features. However, Nokia Lover will love this phone.Nokia Lover can go for it.
