![]() A little tank action goes a long way, but this is Batman, not Battlezone, OK? The one downside? Rocksteady can’t resist the urge to throw in larger and more epic battles against multiple tanks, with some seriously monotonous skirmishes spoiling the latter half of the game, and a tedious stream of side missions to complete on top. It has a battle mode, where it turns into a hovering, strafing tank, plus a remote control option and its own suite of gadgets, including an ingenious grappling winch that powers some of Arkham Knight’s strongest puzzles.ĭriving it is a blast, diving into it from the rooftops even better, and hurtling out of it then glide-kicking an enemy better still. For the most part, having the Batmobile on call for most of the game enlarges the action, throwing in some awesome action movie chase sequences and giving you a great, fast method of getting from A to B. ![]() Let’s get the big new headline features out of the way. It’s not quite the perfect Batman game, but it’s pretty damn close. This isn’t just the biggest of the three Arkham games, but the smartest too, improving and expanding on the open-world style of Arkham City while replicating the immersion and expert pacing of Arkham Asylum. You can feel the weight on Batman: Arkham Knight, but Rocksteady’s third and final Arkham tale wears it as lightly as Batman wears his latest armoured, gadget-laden suit. In games, the Assassin’s Creed series seems mired in exactly this issue, and the same has been true of Call of Duty, Splinter Cell, Halo and even FIFA in the past. Movie and game sequels suffer from a similar problem: when you have to keep going bigger, better and even more epic, how do you keep things moving forward without the latest entry collapsing under the accumulated weight? Opinions differ on whether Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises managed to avoid the pitfall, just as opinions differ over this year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.
