![]() ![]() It’s also the traditional way of pressing suspects. Platforming? Most certainly a job for a car. Puzzles even while indoors will demand you use your wheels. Bosses, usually a big draw in the Arkham series (when they don’t resort to “Buff Guy” anyway), will require the Batmobile. Need to race to the scene of a crime? Rocksteady will need you to use the Batmobile. ![]() It might be tolerable if Rocksteady didn’t force it into damn near every aspect of the gameplay. Batman: Upstanding member of the American Automobile Association. At times the Batmobile will provide the same utility as a tow truck, either using a power winch to pull down an object or to jump start an engine. The physics needed more time to cook to make the Batmobile feel “good” and the combat mode is awful. There is no sense of weight to the Batmobile, it crushes cars and structures as easily as one could step on an ant while having the speed and handling of a hockey puck. This is the part of the review I gripe about the Batmobile and the massive drag it is on gameplay. ![]() They’ll set detonation devices on all Batman’s perches, blow up ducts and grating, track the Bat’s gear, and revive their allies, meaning the player has to think and act faster than they do.īeing the Bat is absolutely awesome which is why it’s always so damn frustrating when you have to stop playing as him.

Batman gets all new “Fear Takedowns” where if he gets the drop on his foes, he can smash through up to three at once before taking to the rafters or grates to hide from his prey. It’s better than ever in this title as once Batman puts on his shiny new armor, roughly as you clear the game’s first few “tutorials”, you can feel the power and speed it brings with it. I bet you more folks than would openly admitted have uttered “I’m Batman” in a low growl at least once. Let’s face facts, a huge draw of Rocksteady’s games is giving you that “feeling” of being the great detective and putting criminals in their place. Batman’s new power armor also gives him a sleeker, deadlier look than he’s carried in previous games, giving him the appearance of a force of nature. ![]() The scale of Gotham is immense, and Rocksteady captures that 1950s-esque gothic deco look that has come to define Gotham in the majority of its appearances through out the Batman franchise. Arkham looks better than ever with updated character models and faces that really breathe new much needed life into the previously bulky and plastic looking models of the last game. Let’s kick this off with the compliments. So is this the exciting, action packed finale everyone has been bracing for? Well… The Dark Knight has to deal with Scarecrow and an apocalyptic plan to douse Gotham in fear gas.
