Batman: Arkham City – Harley Quinn’s Revenge: A Fun and Challenging Expansion
Batman: Arkham City – Harley Quinn’s Revenge is a downloadable content (DLC) expansion for the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham City. The expansion was developed by Rocksteady Studios and released on April 24, 2012.
Harley Quinn’s Revenge adds a couple of hours of new content to the base game, including a new story campaign and a new challenge map. The story campaign follows Batman as he is lured back into Arkham City by Harley Quinn, who is now more dangerous than ever and wants her revenge. Batman must team up with Robin to stop Harley and her gang of thugs.
The new challenge map, “Harley’s Revenge,” is a series of combat challenges that test the player’s skills. The challenges are designed to be difficult, but they are also fair and rewarding.
Gameplay
Harley Quinn’s Revenge features the same core gameplay as Batman: Arkham City. Players control Batman (and Robin in the new story campaign) as they explore Arkham City, fight enemies, and solve puzzles. The game’s combat system is fluid and intuitive, and the stealth sections are tense and exciting.
The new story campaign is a welcome addition to Batman: Arkham City. The story is well-written and engaging, and the new characters are interesting and well-developed. The challenge map is also a great addition, and it provides a fun and challenging way to test the player’s skills.
Graphics and Sound
Harley Quinn’s Revenge features the same high-quality graphics and sound as Batman: Arkham City. The game’s environments are detailed and atmospheric, and the character models are top-notch. The voice acting is also excellent, with Mark Hamill delivering a particularly memorable performance as the Joker.
Overall
Batman: Arkham City – Harley Quinn’s Revenge is a fun and challenging expansion that adds a few hours of new content to the base game. The new story campaign is well-written and engaging, the new challenge map is a great addition, and the graphics and sound are top-notch.
