Harley Quinn's Revenge Review

Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC | January 19, 2014
Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo

Harley Quinn’s Revenge Is an action beat’ em up and is a DLC add on to Batman Arkham City. It takes place two weeks after the events of Arkham City. You must own Arkham City to be able to play Harley Quinn's Revenge. The massive city size prison has been shut down and evacuated. The innocent political prisoners have been released and the villains are back in Arkham Asylum and the criminals are back in Blackgate. Harley Quinn sets a trap for the Gotham City police but it failed and she was captured. She escapes with several explosives that she stole from the Gotham City Police Department and returns to the Jokers old hide out the steel mill with what’s left of the Joker gang.

After ambushing a SWAT team she kidnaps two officers forcing Commission Gordon to surround the mill and call in Batman. Batman has been off ever since he took down Arkham City, he has also not been heard from in the last two days since entering the steel mill trying to stop Harley Quinn from hurting the officers she is holding. With Batman not responding Robin enters the mill with the help of Barbra Gordon.

This DLC has the same combat style as the both the previous Arkham games. That means all of the game mechanics are perfect. The camera, aiming, controls and combat are all spot on. Adding in Robin and Barbra Gordon brings new life to the story and shows off the dynamics between them and Batman. We did not want to stop playing. It took us almost 3 hours to get through the whole thing. Harley Quinn’s Revenge is worth the $10 starting price and for the most part you are stuck with it. It does go on sale but not often. You are more likely to get Arkham City at a discounted price (Arkham City is always going on sale) but having to pay full price for the DLC. Repay is pretty high just like the other Arkham games. If you love the Batman Arkham series this is more fun.
