One of the year’s most anticipated video games is set to be released on October 18, 2011. Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was released in the summer of 2009. There is a huge amount of hype surrounding the unreleased game. Many fans wonder if it will live up to the first instalment which has been called the best superhero video game of all time. Based on the multiple teaser trailers and demos, it looks as if the game will exceed its predecessor.
The storyline of Batman: Arkham City is quite compelling and incredibly intricate. Essentially, Arkham Asylum (the asylum for all the crazy villains) has been moved to the slums of Gotham. It is a huge fenced in area with only 1 rule: don’t try to escape. Unfortunately a new problem arises. The villains within Arkham City are trying to claim territory which is causing a massive uproar amongst the inmates. It is up to Batman to settle the dispute, but this means entering Arkham City, where escape can be impossible.
There are many new features in the game, including a new and improved “detective mode,” a new fighting system, and a more complex storyline. Overall, this game is going to be an unbelievable success, and any Batman fan should get their hands on this game as soon as it comes out.
