John and Ogo review: Arkham City/HQR
Deviation Actions
Literature Text
Arkham Asylum. A full blown masterpiece that was praised universally across the board from fans to critics, and the first good superhero game in years.
Ogoleithus: Who would've thought, however, that the game that got worshiped like it was being put on the top of Mt Olympus would be usurped by one of the best open world games of this decade. Bat-ladies and Bat-gentlemen, we give you, Batman, Arkham City!
Plot (spoiler alert)
Taking place a few years after the shitstorm in Arkham, Bruce Wayne, voiced once again by Kevin Conroy, is seen protesting outside of the newly built Arkham City, an open air penitentiary where a dying Joker, voiced with ungodly amounts of class by the legendary Mark Hamil, Penguin, who is voiced by Nolan North, who, to the uninitiated, is the guy who voices Nathen Drake in the Uncharted games. and Two-face, who is voiced by Troy Baker, who on his left side, is normal sounding, but in the right, it sounds like he's gargling soot, are waging war.

Ogoleithus: However, some Tyger guards pin Wayne down, and take him inside the Hell on earth that is Arkham City, where he is processed and is ready to meet his end via Penguin. That's when shit gets Batman. After freeing himself and going up to the roof of the Ace Chemicals building, he suits up, stops Two Face and saves some aid workers, one of whom being Officer Cash, who you may remember from the last game. After surviving an explosion, a insane fight, and being poisoned as well as fighting rouges like Grundy, voiced by Fred "The Hulk" Tatasciore, and Clayface, voiced by Rick Wassermann, Joker kicks the bucket, setting off Harley Quinn's Revenge. While all that is happening, Catwoman does a high risk stunt to some Tyger guards
Taking place after the events of City, Revenge follows Robin, who goes to Quinn's hideout in search of his mentor, as well as a flashback to the Bat finding several keycards. Afterwards, Robin bails out the bat and the two bug the fuck out of the HQ as it explodes.
Ogoleithus: As we said before, Arkham City blows Arkham Asylum out of the water in the story department. With a ending that'll have you crying, and a story that'll keep you glued to your controller, this game, plot wise, is one of the best games, and we're just getting warmed up.
Gameplay
Now while the free flow combat returns in full force, the new additions of disarming a scumbsack and destroying his weapon, a Beatdown and various other combat methods just add to the fun of turning a thugs ribcage into internal shrapnel.
Ogoleithus: The addition of various stealth and non stealth options are a nice touch, and add to the awesomeness.
All and all, the gameplay is every bit as solid.
Graphics
Now the graphics and engine are just as awesome if not more, nuff said.
Final thoughts
This game slays harder then any Darkthrone album and, unlike Asylum, doesn't end with some stupid final boss.
Ogoleithus: It's not only a worthy successor to the kickassary that is Arkham Asylum, but also is an incredible game in its own right, with tons of side missions, a incredible soundtrack that i have to assume was inspired by the masterful Danny Elfman soundtrack of both Batman and Batman Returns, Arkham City is a respectable sendoff to the scariest clown this side of Pennywise... Until 2 games later. 5 batarangs out of 5. This shit is mandatory playing, or we cannot be friends.
