Gotham City Impostors

The gameplay is functional without being exceptional, and the focus is placed entirely on personalization at a price -- be it time or money. The limited range of maps, game modes and weapons seems to indicate that a whole slew of premium DLC will soon be arriving as well. It's unquestionably clear that Monolith and Warner Bros. conspired to make a Batman-flavored Farmville, but console restrictions on such a business model prevented them from going all the way.

Performing better in matches will also earn you costume coins, which can then be used to further customize your Batz or Jokerz gang member. Costume coins are dolled out a little slowly, and this is compounded by the hefty price tag on many of the completely superfluous accoutrements. You can buy these items with actual money, but players with patience will be better off.

Technical issues aside, Gotham City Impostors is a consistently thrilling experience that's easy to recommend. The limited arena count isn't nearly the flaw that it would be in most other shooters, thanks to the surprising number of ways you can experience each of them. And the deep class and cosmetic customization options may keep you up for some late nights even when you've already spent dozens of hours with the game.
