    This is a $15 download, and it packs more than enough content into its frame to balance out the relatively meager 5 maps and 3 modes. Make no mistake, however, Gotham City Impostors stands head and shoulders with every other big-box multiplayer shooter out there.

    There's nothing especially original about Gotham City Impostors' mishmash of multiplayer modes and character progression, but the game goes to such absurd lengths to distinguish itself from the vast field of modern-military mediocrity that you can't help but love it at least a little bit.

    If you don't get sick of the five maps, you will play this one for quite some time as you climb through all 1,000 levels of advancement.

    A functional shooter with a sense of humor and a Batman license. It's got plenty to unlock, but it's not all that deep. Go, shoot, win. Over and over. If you're looking for a first-person shooter that doesn't take itself seriously, have at it, but don't expect a FPS revolution.

    [G]ripes aside, Gotham City Impostors is a surprisingly solid shooter and with the sizeable first DLC drop, Warner Bros. is promising improvements across the board. If they deliver on that, consider upgrading this score to must-buy status, rather than a nice-to-have. [April 2012, p72]

    Gotham City Impostors is a fun and different first-person shooter with a lot of ambition. It stands out from the crowd, and has enjoyable and casual gameplay. There are some issues with matchmaking that made the experience a bit tedious, but I'm sure these will be sorted out soon.

    An unfinished game that could have been entertaining if you didn't have to put so much effort to actually enjoy it. If your character didn't have to level up so slowly, you wouldn't need to invest more money into it. If someone had done their work, there wouldn't be need for this incomplete piece of junk. Not even its low price can change its outcome. There's not even a smile on Joker's face and that is always a bad sign.

With that out of the way, i would like to elaborate on a few things. The patched fixed most of the matchmaking problems, added a new map, weapons, etc. This game is a breath of fresh air when compared to standard military-issue games that feature the same things year after year after year like cod, bf, etc. Sure it borrowed things from other fps games, but this is a game all on its own. Where else could you fly, dive bomb ppl, freeze ppl, disorient ppl with gas, boomerangs, etc? I play this game for hours a day and it never gets old. Every match i see something fun and interesting i havent saw before. Its one of the most interesting and humorous games out there, and for $15, what you get for the price cant be beat. You dont have to buy dlc, they patched it with new weapons for free. Death comes in a variety of ways. You never know whats around the next corner. Lets go into body types, there are 5 dif bodies, speedy, nimble, tough (default), burly, and mighty. Each one has its advantages/disadvantages so choosing your perfect setup is entirely up to you. Thats the great part of this game. The freedom to customize your character to fit your playing style. Whether you wanna roll on skates for more ground speed, fly thru the air to get to objectives faster, grapple yourself to sniping locations, its just endless the things you can do. The community is great so far, and its steadily picking up. More players like myself are growing tired of the same old fps games that feature the same things over and over, looking at you cod. Seriously, if youre bored of getting killed by ppl tucked in corners, prone shots, or any of the other nonsense, look no further. You will soon forget the sad memories as theres no prone shots, and the tools they give you in this game makes camping seem like a joke. You could have much more fun with this than you might expect for $15 i highlyyy recommend this game. Join our online community and see what has been created. A game that is fun. After all, isnt that what games are supposed to be. Dont buy cod just cuz all of your friends have it lol be yourself and buy your own games, and dont worry about anybody but yourself. Cod is the same game year after year. Its a camping festival and boring as hell to play. Even mw3 used the same engine as mw2, yet they charge u $60 lol what a joke. This game, while borrowing (obviously) some things from other fps, differentiates itself as soon as you join a match. Every weapon, gadget, support item has a counter to it. So anything you see happening to you, can be countered. Theres a learning curve no doubt before you could stay alive and not die cheaply. Once you figure these out though, it feels fresh, and you realize how much time has been put in to this relatively cheap game. I would suggest playing fumigation over psych warfare or team deathmatch as you will spare yourself a lot of cheap deaths. And capturing objectives and working together as a team is much more enjoyable than just firing helping yourself. Anyway, download the game. Dont listen to your friends or family. This is an original game that simply cannot be missed..… Expand

I could play it all day, I remember the old days of Countes Strike, because it is fun and easy to play, the variety of weapons is not very big, but the items that makes the game more fun, and abilities that only contains some characters. I advise you to buy very very cheap price for this game. I live in a place where many online games have lag because I was playing against opponents across the world, but this game has no lag at all, a super bright spot for it!… Expand

The game however has a lot of matchmaking issues, a lack of levels, and feels a lot like Call of Duty if the military dressed up as Batman and the Joker, and had their funding taken away. collecting items and customization can be a bit addicting, and the gunplay is rather solid. Definitely worth the $15 price tag, but no more.… Expand

    Listen up, Warner Brothers. It doesn't matter how good your game is IF NOBODY CAN PLAY IT!
