Geekscape Games Reviews Batman Arkham City: Harley Quinn’s Revenge

The adventures in Arkham City continue with Harley Quinn’s Revenge. If you haven’t played through Arkham City’s story already, be warned: Spoilers follow!

Harley Quinn’s Revenge starts not long after the events in the game’s standard story mode. With Joker dead, Harley Quinn has obviously lost and and vows to extract revenge on Batman. Surprising, right? The game starts with Robin as the protagonist. You play as Robin for roughly half of the DLC’s campaign, which, depending on your skill level, can last up to two hours. It is also important to note that the entire DLC story takes place in and around the Steel Mill.

Harley Quinn’s Revenge a simple story compared to the standard on-disc campaign. A group of GCPD cops have been kidnapped by Harley Quinn’s thugs, and have retreated into Joker’s old lair in Arkham City. Without spoiling the DLC’s story, I can say you’ll have few things to do other than the main mission objectives.

There are Harley Quinn balloons scattered around the mission area, but it’s hardly enough to get a gamer to replay the DLC for a reason other than simply wanting to experience it again.

Sadly, Harley Quinn’s Revenge just isn’t up to par with Rocksteady’s previous installments into their Batman franchise. It doesn’t really advance the overall story and is instead an event that can be played if you choose to do so. As someone who adores the past two Batman video game titles, I have to say it would be best if you waited until Harley Quinn’s Revenge went on sale.

Harley Quinn’s Revenge is available now for $10 on both Xbox Live and PSN.
