Enemies are tougher and random encounters feature a wider range of weapons and enemy types. There’s value in exploring the city in Selina Kyle’s shoes, since there are red Riddler trophies that are specific to her and her abilities.įinishing the game once unlocks a New Game Plus mode, which carries over all of your gadgets and Riddler challenge data into a new, separate save. She can also crawl on the ceilings in certain areas, and she’s got a unique, more combat-oriented set of tools to draw from. Instead of a grappling hook, she’s equipped with a whip that can be used to quickly and easily traverse the empty spans between buildings. The controls are fundamentally the same between the two characters, but Catwoman is much more agile than the Dark Knight.
She becomes a playable character during certain sections of the story, and you’ll be able to swap between her and Batman in specific locations once the main plot has been completed. Those who buy Arkham City new get to punch in a redemption code that adds a four-chapter Catwoman-centric story into the game. There are other challenge rooms as well, specific to the game’s other playable character… As you solve the various puzzles built around these Riddler trophies, you’ll unlock new combat and stealth challenge rooms. There are also more than 400 Riddler trophies to be found, many of which require you to use the various gadgets in your utility belt. Even when the action calms down and the World’s Greatest Detective does his thing, the challenges you’re faced with are much more elaborate than following a trail of glowing breadcrumbs (though you’ll do some of that as well). In addition to the central story, there are a dozen or so villain-specific side missions that unfold in multiple stages and put Batman’s various abilities to the test. The city is filled with all manner of activities to keep Bats busy. To the game’s credit, those load times tend to be pretty minimal, as are the ones you face when reloading a checkpoint. The only load screens you’ll see come up when you transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Unlike Asylum‘s relatively small outdoor areas separating the different mission spaces, Arkham City delivers a proper open world. If there’s any surprise, it’s the sequel’s dramatically enlarged scope.
