Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition takes the already incredible Arkham City game and brings it to a whole new level with enhanced gameplay and features exclusive to the Wii U. As a huge fan of the Batman franchise, I was eagerly anticipating this release and it did not disappoint.
One of the standout features of the Armored Edition is the integration of the Wii U GamePad. This innovative controller adds a new layer of immersion to the game, allowing players to use it as a map, a gadget selector, and even as a scanner to analyze crime scenes. It's a refreshing and intuitive way to navigate through the dark and gritty streets of Arkham City.
The visuals in Arkham City - Armored Edition are stunning, with detailed character models and atmospheric environments that truly bring Gotham City to life. The Armored Edition also includes all of the previously released DLC, giving players access to additional missions, costumes, and challenge maps. This adds even more value to an already content-packed game.
The combat in Arkham City - Armored Edition is as satisfying as ever, with fluid animations and a wide range of moves and gadgets at Batman's disposal. The Wii U GamePad comes into play here as well, allowing for quick gadget selection and seamless integration of Batman's detective vision.
While the Armored Edition does offer an enhanced experience, it does have a few drawbacks. The most notable one is the occasional performance issues, with frame rate drops during intense action sequences. While it doesn't detract too much from the overall experience, it is a noticeable flaw.
Overall, Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition is a fantastic addition to the Batman game series, offering an enhanced gameplay experience exclusive to the Wii U. The integration of the Wii U GamePad adds a new level of immersion, and the stunning visuals and content-packed nature of the game make it a must-play for any fan of the Dark Knight. Despite some minor performance issues, the Armored Edition is a solid game that deserves a rating of 9 out of 10.
