Be The Superhero And Save The World!
Story:
Play as the caped crusader BATMAN™ in "The Dark Knight"™, the thrilling action game based on the blockbuster film from Warner Bros. With the help of Gotham police, Batman has been making headway against the local crime bosses. However, things take a darker turn when a new reign of chaos is unleashed on the terrified citizens of Gotham by a rising criminal mastermind known as "The Joker". Batman must use every one of his dynamic fighting skills, his special gadgets and his stealth abilities in order to stop his most devious and personal enemy yet!
Design:
Here is the backstory of the present day superhero, "The Batman". For those unfamiliar with him, I will explain: The Batman a is Superhero, with the appearance and characteristics of a bat, who lives is the city of "Gotham". The city is filled with evil criminals, thirsting for total authority. As Batman, you must struggle to defeat these evil-doers with a full arsenal of weapons, with adaptations for all occasions.
The graphics in the game are well designed, with character animations at a generally high level. Although theses high quality graphics may take time loading between levels, the overall styling makes it worth it. It's clear that the developers of the game were strict to follow the formula of "overabundance", in regards to the design work.
Gameplay:
The developers of "The Dark Knight"™ have tried to combine several different genres to this one game: action, fighting and puzzle! Players should thoroughly study that streets and skyscrapers of Gotham City, in order to intercept over a hundred enemies. If you are inclined to believe that "The Dark Knight"™ is just children's game, you'd be seriously mistaken, as the overall theme is quite gloomy, and the cruelty of some scenes may be a little too much for those with delicate mentalities.
Conclusion:
First of all, "The Dark Knight"™ is a game based on a film. If you do not like it, apparently you were expecting a very different type of game. "The Dark Knight"™ is a severe, monotonous, yet very beautiful action game, that puts you in a world where you can either live or die: it all depends on you.
