He must now stop mishaps occurring around this chaotic enclosure, mainly caused by his arch-nemesis the Joker. The game has received universal critical acclaim, making it one of the highest rated video games released in 2011.
Gameplay
Arkham City is an open world action video game that
incorporateselements of stealth and predator
tactics. All of the gadgets previously obtained in the
first game are present at the start of Arkham City
(with the exception of the Line Launcher and the
Ultra Batclaw, which is replaced with the regular
Batclaw and Sonic Batarangs). Most of them have
improved or new capabilities; for example, the
Cryptographic Sequencer can also track signals, the
line launcher now can be deployed as a tightrope
and has a feature that allows Batman to flip over and launch another zipline, switching directions. The remote control Batarang now has a built in brake and boost, and the grappling gun can now be used while gliding
to boost Batman further up into the air. Four additional gadgets have been revealed: smoke pellets to
confuse armed enemies when spotted by them, the Remote Electrical Charge which is a sniper-like taser
gun used to power generators and shock enemies, ice grenades used to freeze enemies and make
pathways through water, and a balled rope for tying up enemies. The game incorporates more puzzle
elements; the use of Batman's "Detective Mode", which highlights elements such as enemy skeletons and
clues on-screen, is used to perform forensic activities such as tracing the origin of a sniper round.
