!!!Gotham City Imposters = First Review!!!

Bruce Wayne. His parent’s died when he was a little kid, he inherited all their money and now he is all grown up, billionaire and owns his own company. Oh did I mention he is Batman? We have seen many games, cartoons, comics and movies about Batman fighting evil in Gotham City. But what happens when Batman isn’t in Gotham City? Or just too distracted with some big villain to notice the other smaller crimes? This is where Gotham City Imposters comes in.

Developer Monolith Productions has created this cheeky, FPS ‘download only’ game and they sure can be proud of it. The storyline of Gotham City Imposters is so simple anyone with an IQ higher than 10 can understand, Batman has his hands full with Joker, Penguin and the rest of the super villains, so when he leaves Gotham to tend to these villains, some crazy people dress up like clowns (more specifically, Joker) and start stealing, killing and committing crime after crime. To stop these crazy people, another group of crazy people dress up like Bat-man to restore order. Instead of striking fear into people’s hearts, keeping to the shadows and choking someone while holding them over the ledge of an extremely tall building, these “Bat people” just simply kill the enemy.

The tools of death in this game consist of your average guns (Rifles, SMG, LMG, Sniper, Pistol ect) and some wacky gadgets. For example, as a replacement of the claymore (You can find this bad boy in any Call of Duty, Battlefield 3 and real life army) you get a Jack in the Box combined with dynamite. All weapons and tools in this game are completely balanced, there are weapons that you may find easier to use, but for the other “hard weapons” can be extremely deadly in the right hands. The weapons also contain a great deal of customization, you can change anything from the small things, like the colour, to the big things, like your attachments.

Speaking of customization, the customization in Gotham City Imposters seems to be endless. You can customize anything from your cowl all the way to your feet. You can change your body size, your voice and everything about your character. In the new DLC coming out Monolith Productions is including a Ninja costume, so don’t be annoyed if you can’t find anything you like, more is coming! The customization choices you make can also give an effect on your characters performance in game, most importantly your body type. If you choice the big, strong, incredible hulk replica, you will find yourself walking slower than a snail around the map but your health will last longer than anyone else. Yet if you decide to go with the slim small ballerina, you will find yourself dying from a paper cut.

The gameplay in Gotham City Imposters if great. Not only is fast and fluid, but it is also a lot of fun. There isn’t much lag (I have only experienced 1 game full of lag out of a total of 60+ games) and the hit detection of weapons is extremely good. With a total of 3 game modes, 5 maps, a challenges mode and initiation mode, there are lots of things do in the world of Gotham City Imposters. All the weapons and gadgets are balanced and trust me when I say, you will NOT get bored from this game.

For a game that is download only at a total cost of (roughly) $15.00 and only contains a multiplayer mode and nothing else it is amazing. The gameplay is fast, smooth and balanced. The customization is great and will last you a long time. Most importantly, this game is fun. The one thing I love most in a game is it’s fun factor, and because this game is a good 9-10 in the fun factor I will give this game a score of 9.5/10.
