The game offers various ‘gadgets’, consisting of things like a glider rig (for gliding), roller-skates (for skating) and spring boots (for springing), amongst others. In Impostors you can glide, spring-jump, or even skate around the maps as you hunt your next victim. Sure, you can walk, or sprint, but that is for peasants. There are some really interesting aspects, a very big one being how you get around. That is to say they just kill each other in arena-based combat. Naturally, they can’t afford the swanky gadgetry that their idols make use of, so they improvise and operate with a less…moral way of doing things. The game is set in Gotham when Batman is away, where two ‘gangs’, one of which is made of vigilantes dressed as Batman and the other criminals dressed like the Joker, battle it out. It is a fast-paced, as-far-from-realistic-as-possible game that verges on relative uniqueness in its genre thanks to a few choice areas. GCI is a superb, funny and polished multiplayer first person shooter. I got around to playing it over the weekend and was immediately kicking myself. Somehow. As it downloaded I forgot about it and, between my re-playings of Mass Effect 1 and 2 in preparation for when I can afford ME3, I saw it there in my library, still being a little reserved about trying it out. I immediately bought it because, well, I’d be saving money. I largely forgot about it until I noticed it for sale on Origin last week for £6 (half price). After all, it was another multiplayer FPS and they’re all over the place, as always. I was cautiously interested in Gotham City Impostors from the beginning but refused to really get my hopes up. Yet here I am, flitting around to an FPS once again. It’s even less often that I find and cover an FPS in CPCG, then do it again in the next edition.
It’s not often that I discover a new FPS I really enjoy.
