Synopsis:
Gotham City Impostors is an upcoming first-person shooter multiplayer-only video game set in the universe of DC Comics' Batman. Developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the downloadable game will be played from the perspective of two teams each trying to kill the other: one with people dressed like Batman and the other with people dressed like his archenemy, The Joker. It is set to be released on Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network and Microsoft Windows on January 10, 2012.

Graphics:
The Graphics resemble a 3D cartoon you would see on Cartoon Network. It really brings a childish; but intense "vibe" when playing. I think the graphics make the game what it really is. The rendering is great which a lot of games can't nail.

Multiplayer:
Multiplayer, is the only option you have in the Beta, besides a quick tutorial on how to use the "abilities" you have. Starting off you have 4 main classes, which are quite well put together. The few maps you can play are well made. They are quite small; but keeps a intense match going on. There are only two game modes out now. The most notorious is a "Capture the Flag" or "Demolition" type game mode where you capture a battery and charge it on a small mess of devices. After an amount of time the timer runs down and the other team is "brainwashed" which disables all guns and gadgets and requires them to only melee. This is where the "spawn trapping" begins. Once the team is "crippled" they cannot do much but try to defuse the battery or fight theirselves out. The team spawns in a pretty small corner on all maps. This causes me to rage everytime. In the multiplayer you can edit your Player Card, Custom Classes, and your Costume. The selections are few; but keep me entertained so far. I can't wait for the full arcade release.

Conclusion:
The Beta is very fun; but since it is only a beta you have a small map and character selection. I think for a beta it has very few bugs, not much they can improve on besides the horrible spawns. Also making the snipers a one shot kill would be a relief.
