Batman Arkham City was the game of the year. Have you played it with Robin? Should you?

The Robin DLC pack allows you to use Robin in all the existing challenge maps, but not the main game. This is a big disappointment as you can free roam around the city as Catwoman once you've beaten the main story.

You also get two new challenge maps, one fighting challenge and one predator challenge. The fighting challenge is unique among all the included and previously released challenges as it uses the engine to create a side-scrolling beat-em-up... Final Fight style. At the end of the side scrolling challenge, you get to fight Black Mask as a boss (which is cool because he does not make an appearance in the main game).

Overall the DLC is pretty limited and unless you're an achievement/trophy hunter there won't be much reason to play the original challenge maps as Robin. I hate to give a "rent" to DLC as it's basically impossible unless you can play it at a friends house or something, but that's what we've got here. It's not a great DLC and it's not a bad DLC. It's small, but it's not expensive. If you love playing the challenge rooms, give this a try, otherwise, ignore it.

Verdict: Rent It

Yeah.. thanks for the review. I tend to not like DLC that feels tacked on.
