Noir Reviews Batman Arkham City

Wow.


I'm not going to score this game. It's fantastic. It's fun, and it's just damned good in general.

That being said, the ending was kind of a WTF, to put it mildly.

I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I will say that it just sort of comes out and says "yeah, we just did that. Deal." And ends the game. So we get a red herring or two, a climactic conclusion, then a bait and switch, a kind of easy and lame boss battle, and then...the ending.

That being said, GETTING to the last battle is tougher than the final boss. Do you like snipers? I hope so because that particular city block has no less than ten of them. It's terrible.

That's all I've got. If you want something more in depth, I'll come back when the game has been out long enough to not spoil crap.

WTF.
