Gotham City Impostors is definitely not without its limitations. Though the traditional weaponry leaves a bit to be desired, the creativeness behind the gadgets helps to make up for it with originality and humor, yet still could have benefitted from more variants. ![]() ![]() Gadgets range from grappling hooks and glider wings to roller-skates and bouncing shoes, all of which provide a ton of fun at first. GCI, however, allows for a deep amount of customization.Īny combination of body type (a total of five), weapon, gadget or sub-weapon can be utilized in the custom load outs, though some body types will be more efficient with heavier weapons or gadgets than others. Many class-based shooters seem to pigeonhole you into a class that can only use certain weapons, abilities, or body/armor type. As you delve deeper in and it attempts to become something more, however, it falters. On the surface, Gotham City Impostors looks like another class-based shooter, which Monolith nails pretty well. Humor is used to help keep gametypes like rush and conquest refreshing, until you realize that three MP modes and just as many maps doesn’t quite cut it. Most come in the form of sound-effects that boing-oing or flop and splat when utilizing weapons or gadgets, and the grenade-in-a-box is simply a blast. Slapstick comedy permeates the experience right from the beginning, providing many unexpected chuckles and genuine laughs. GCI’s premise is simple: someone must protect Gotham while The Batman is indisposed, and who better to fend off Joker’s minions than copy bats (zing!) equipped with their own versions of Bats’ famed gadgetry, as well as some more deadly homemade creations. But you know what? Monolith did – and Gotham City Impostors would have been a great game if it weren’t for some hang-ups. But have you ever wondered what it would be like if it all took place under a Team Fortress/CoD scope, ya’ know, without actually playing as Batman? Me either. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like if Batman decided he needed to kill some fools? Of course you have.
