Batman: Arkham City

So the game kicks off and you're playing with Catwoman. Say whaaaaat?! Amazing! Awesome! I've got no other synonyms that I actually use. But, you get the picture. Also: bad guy: Two-Face. YES! I mean: YES! Then you get back on Batman. Well, no. As a matter of fact, you get back to... Bruce Wayne. Yep. Bruce "FuckingBatman'sClarkKent" Wayne. Also: amazing.

Then, on the story you hit characters like: The Joker, of course (oh, my love... your destiny T.T), and then you get some Penguin and Dr. Hugo Strange.

Also, there are lots and lots of side missions under the supervision of characters like Zsasz (my fave serial killer), Mr. Freeze (who also plays an important part in the main game), Mad Hatter (one of the best dilusional psychopaths), Deadshot, Bane (also plays part of the main game), Poison Ivy (appears on the Catwoman missions), Ra's al Ghul and his gang of assassins.

Solomon Grundy teams up with the Penguin and Clayface teams up with Joker for some one on one action with the Bats. You also get to see some Azrael (yesss!) and Hush (aka: Dr. Thomas Elliot) and both missions have an opened end, so I guess we'll get to see more of them in the sequel of Arkham City.

Of course: we also have the Riddler challenges. Amazing as always. We actually get to see the Riddler at some point. I loved that. I really like Riddler (actually he's my wallpaper xD).

There's also the combat and stealth challenges, which you get to play with either Batman, Catwoman, Red Robin, or Night Wing.

There's also this sorta mini game ruled by Harley Quinn (my personal hero -?-) where you get to play with Red Robin*. Pretty cool.

I really like the fact that you get to be in a -way- bigger stage than the last game, and that they kept the M.O. of having you coming back and forth through the places. It makes everything more realistic. Well... at least: as realistic as Batman will ever get. A girl can dream, though.

I hope they make the next game co-op. Cuz I'd really love to kick some ass with my bro, he playing the Bats and me playing Robin. That'd be awesome! (:

Anyways: if "Arkham Asylum" was a "100% must play" game. Then... I don't know, "Arkham City" has to be at least a "187% MUST PLAY LIKE YESTERDAY!" game.

You have to play it now. Like now. I'm serious.

*I didn't like the fact that they called "Red Robin", "Robin". It's Tim Drake, so technically he's not "Robin", he's "RED" Robin. I mean: come on! It was a three lettered word... I'm not asking for too much, am I?
