This was a really bad game...

I enjoyed the movie, so I thought I'd try the game out. I found it to be one of those KILL KILL KILL games, and nothing basic on what to do. You find the boss and then you kill him. The game is also very boring, and all the game modes are the same. This also seems like a Playstation game. Each time you enter a new room, the words "Hold On" come on screen. Then you walk to another place and see it again. The ending is very bad, so its pretty much a pointless adventure.

This movie attempts to be ahead of its time. It seems like there was an attempt to put live actors into an SNES game so that it could boast excellent graphics.

There is one problem though - Batman has a belly. He looks like he belongs in middle management more than fighting crime. This is kinda bad when Batman is supposed to be a well muscled, dark, ominous figure that strikes fear into criminals.

The other problem with the game is that some of the controls are ridiculously difficult. You would think, for example, jumping down to a lower level of the game would be a simple concept...but no, not in this game. Me and a friend of mine tried for hours to get to the lower part of a level to no avail. Even getting the directions wasn't any help. The other issue is the special add-ons to your pack, like a gun that shoots sticky gel or the baterang. In order to execute them, you have to complete a series of buttons - OK, listen game design people, these are weapons, not special power moves. Imagine having to hit five buttons just to use your grenade in "Halo" and you'll understand why I'm so frustrated about this. I don't even bother getting any special weapons because its so difficult.

The other aggravating thing about this game: no save. Some levels get so ridiculously difficult in parts that its aggravating to have to start all over again. Especially since the first level has nothing to do with the movie and therefore feels like a huge waste of your time. And incidentally, what was with the loading time? I shouldn't have to wait several seconds just because I went through a door to another room in the same freggin' level.

This game is just fun for beating things up. I wouldn't spend too much money on it unless you're seriously interested in it. I wouldn't recommend it too highly.

Yawn, good idea, not much to it though

As the other reviews have stated, this is a very boring game. You are Batman or Robin set out to save Gotham from the Riddler and Twoface. An interesting thing to this game is that the buttons are set up like Mortal Kombat, high punch, low punch, up to jump and select to use your grappling hook. When you start each level you make a choice of two extra weapons like smoke bombs, gas guns and baterangs. There's not much to the game, you move straight through on a set side scrolling platform path beating up bad guys. The graphics are pretty amazing, being that the game is so much like Mortal Kombat, so are the graphics!

Pointless Action

If you want to simply bash enemies, this is the game for you. Players move around a set path(slightly 3-D) and kill any enemy that appears. That sums it up.

A near-bust

The digitized actors give the game an interesting visual style, and the levels/backgrounds bear a decent resemblance to certain sections of the movie. As someone who's played a lot of Mortal Kombat I thought the controls were decent, but I can understand how frustrating gadget usage must be if you aren't used to inputting 'special move' commands all the time.

Really, the game just gets boring and repetitive after awhile. There's not a lot to do except beat up thugs, and the 'loading' that takes place between each room kills the momentum and gameplay flow. A lack of continues or save feature keeps you from wanting to jump back in when you die. And beyond the graphics in the levels, presentation is downright bad with bland elevator music and a weird batcomputer display that tries to move the narrative along. Plus what kind of game do you have when the manual doesn't even list how to jump down between floors in a room??

2-player co-op does make the game a bit better, until you either get stuck or get bored. Overall, another dud Batman licensed game.

not very fun
