To get started, I'll come out and say I'm NOT a big Batman fan. As a little kid, I did, however, watch the show pretty much every time it was on and enjoyed it. Now, I'm guessing about 6 years later, my interests have completely changed. And, yes, my favorite superhero is now Spider-Man :). But, having the love of action/RPG/Adventure games, I added this to my Christmas list, and, sure enough, I recieved it. The levels can be complex; some more than others. In the first level, you start out as the Dark Knight on what seems to be a normal nightly patrol. But, as you go deeper into the story, you realize he is looking for someone. As you continue his search, you must adjust your eyes to the dark (and sometimes ANNOYINGLY dark) setting around you, climb ladders, glide from building to building, and do many other things, just like you do in pretty much every level. At the end of the level, you stumble upon a bound & gagged woman. As you walk up to untie her, a silent muffle comes from beneath her taped-shut mouth. You pull the tape off, and a shrill scream cries, "IT'S A TRAP!!". You grab the girl and get out of there as fast as you can, and, after that, Batman's new journey begins.

This game is just like the old series, "Batman: The Animated Series", complete with Batgirl, the butler (forget his name), The Joker, Mr. Freeze, and many, many others, though, strangely, no "Boy Wonder" Robin. Too bad. It would've been cool if you could switch characters every other level or something like that, but, moving on. The combat controls are very easy to use, but the exploring/walking-around controls can be hard to use. But, if you're a fan of Batman or just looking for a good adventure game, you should at least rent this.

An entertaining game.

Being a Batman fan, I had to have this game. From previous playstation games, I have been disappointed in the game, but I gave Batman Vengeance a chance and I was glad I did. This by far is the best Batman game I have ever played. The not so close 2nd place game is Batman the animated series game for Super Nintendo. The game has great graphics. My only complaint was the story line. Knowing the character Batman, in the beginning there was a mystery which I solved before the story line did, and Batman being the world's greatest detective should have solved at the moment too. Aside from that, it was entertaining. It is a little dark, but you have a brightness adjustment in the beginning of the game to adjust to your liking and that was a bonus. It also gives you a training seminar, which you have to go through. You will be glad you did, for it does give you a chance to get a feel for the controls. I've played and completed it 3 times, two of them in two days. The replay value is definitely there.

This game does the Dark Knight justice. As Batman, you have an assortment of gadgets at your disposal, including: baterangs, batgrapple, an electric stun gun, and restraint nets. Those are just a few of them. Batman is also able to use his cape as a sort of parachute to slow his decent if he falls from a high place. Don't try to jump to the street off of a building though because the mission will be failed. The game was well thought up. The Joker is killed early in the game. The next series of missions have to do with other villians who are trying to gain power such as Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy. As it turns out, Batman was just a pawn in the sick game of the Joker. He returns near the end to reveal that Batman has set up his whole scheme for him with out even knowing it. During the game you are able to drive the batmobile and batplane. This game is fun to play because it actually requires you to think like the caped crusader and figure out little things all through out the game. So, if you think you might get frustrated with the game if you have to do a little bit of thinking, then rent it first before buying it. Other than that it is a good game for batman fans of all ages. Have fun.....

This game is a lot of fun. Batman has over 500 moves. The fighting system is great. There is a 1st person mode to use your gadgets with. The sound is good. There are different game modes like the batmobile batplane and free fall fighting. It is very long with a deep un raveling story. I gave it 4 stars because the graphics can get a little fuzzy but they aren't bad. Very good game.

Stays true to the Cartoon

If you like the Batman cartoon then you'll like this game,
If you're into the live action movies, then probably not so much..
It's not going for the realistic look at all, but it looks spectacular as the cartoon version..
It's not going to rack your brain like some games w/ puzzles and the action isn't going to over whelm you but it's a greatly entertaining game to play and watch.

Batman Vengeance is the best superhero game ever.

I prefer Wonderwoman actually but i guess Superman and Batman are okay. Superman Wonderwoman and Batman are the leaders of the new Justice League! Okay now on to the game its so cool! It is one of the best Superhero games made! Its almost like you are in Batman's world if you stare at the TV too long. And i seriously mean that. But I don't recomend it for kids under 10 they have no clue what to do. I wish it had some of Batmans other allies like Superman and Wonderwoman it would've been so schway.

FUN FOR FAMILY!

Batman Vengeance is an awesome game, that's all there is to it. The Batman games of the past have been crap, but this one changes the series forever. Batman Vengeance has a decent plot, but it's too complicated to explain over a review. The game's villains include the Joker, Harley (Joker's girlfriend), Mr. Freeze (the hardest boss), and Poison Ivy. Batman gets to drive the Batplane and the Batmobile which are some pretty decent levels. GET THIS GAME!! It beats Activision's SPIDER-Man by far with more of a challenge and better gameplay.

Great Game

This game has it all! It is very simmilar to spiderman for the ps1, but in my opinion, better! The graphics in the game are good, the levels are fun, The gameplay is hard, but gets beeter as you progress through the game. The fighting system is ok, but can be a bit confusing. If you are an inexperienced gamer, I suggest NOT to get this game. It will be a bit confusing. The only downfalls are the batmobile chase. There are no brakes, and there should have been more levels. I like the ps2 version better then the xbox version anyday, but if you have a gamecube, GET THIS GAME FOR GAMECUBE INSTEAD!
