Get Ready, Gotham...
Hatched from the twisted minds at Monolith Productions,
Gotham City Impostors is a download-only multiplayer FPS
that pits violent vigilantes dressed up like Batman against
craven criminals dressed up like the Joker in open warfare on
the streets of Gotham City.

Why fight crime when you can kill it.
Gotham City has gone insane! Batman is up to his pointy ears in unwanted "helpers" determined to dish out their own bloodthirsty brand of vigilante justice in his name (and image). Meanwhile, a small army of self-appointed junior Jokerz has turned the streets of Gotham into a barmy battlefield of bullets, bodies, and bear traps.


More customization than you can shake a shotgun at
Packing more customization than you can shake a shotgun at, you get to choose the guns, gadgets and even the hairdos that fit your personality and play style. It doesn't matter if you want to be a mighty muscleman on roller skates with a hunting bow or a lithe lassie packing a homebrew rocket launcher and glider wings, Gotham City Impostors does not have rigid character classes and lets you play the way you want.


1000 levels of player advancement overflowing with upgrades and unlocks
A robust level up system lets you unlock all the items required to make your impostor as crazy as you desire. Whether you prefer to develop your impostor by proving your prowess in solo challenges designed to test your skills and reflexes or by battling your way to the top of the scoreboard in several delightfully over-the-top multiplayer modes, there's a surefire way for you to realize your preposterous potential!

UPDATE: The first set of DLC for Gotham City Impostors, coming out in March, will be FREE

Will try it when I get home!

Game looks quite interesting. I'd like to pick it up within the next month when I get time!

I played the beta a little bit, and while it was fun at times it was also very frustrating at times as well. The Hunting Bow is freaking awesome if you are great at getting just one shot in.

What I got from the game was that it was essentially CoD with some Batman flavor (and quite a bit of humor, as well).

Game has such a TF2 feel, I love it.
This is gonna cut into my MW3 time.

Loving this game so far but I also loved the beta. I just think some weapons are still overpowered though.

This game is amazing, I also played in the beta so I knew I was going to get it right away. It's a shame that I'm pretty sure the freeze gun got nerfed even though it wasn't amazing in the beta to begin with :/

You get to make your own character essentially based in the custom classes you can make which is similar to COD.

Best MP shooter on the market without a doubt of this and last year IMO.

It plays a lot like Bioshock 2 did online, which I did enjoy, so I'm obviously enjoying this quite a bit so far. My only complaint is the extremely lag infested game that I occasionally get thrown into. For $15 it can't be beat. It's even getting free DLC next month.

I tried the demo earlier, while really digging the visual style and gadgets etc I didn't do very well. I'm pretty good at shooters, does this game have a learning curve?

Has the game changed much from the beta? I didn't care much for the beta. I would try it again, or buy it on sale, but it just seemed like a lot of good ideas but nothing to connect them.

Also, what is with the Batman license in this game? This is how I imagine the conversation going down.

Developer: Well, we have a really solid game here. Should be a lot of fun.
Publisher: Yes, yes, it looks good, but it will never sell without personallity. Remember Monday Night Combat?
D: Yes.
P: I know what this game needs, a license!
D: A license? Like what?
P: Well let's see, what do we have? I KNOW, A BATMAN GAME!
D: But batman doesn't use guns, and this is a shooter.
P: You'll figure it out.

It's not really DLC. It's a title update that will include some "free stuff".

No, that's not true. While the DLC is certainly title-update like, and a title update will probably be released with it, it has to be a separate download since Microsoft licensing polices don't allow any new content to be included in title updates.

Updated Main post with Metacritic Ratings

I thought I loved the trap in the box, but now I LOVE the air-space denier!

If they kept it up to date with new stuff all the time, I'd think of it as a Batman TF2.

What does the air space denier do? Anything to do with the up draft vents? I have an unlock for a new gadget, but couldn't decide if I wanted the bear trap or that jack in a box bomb. I need to checkout the air space thing.
