I've just finished the game and i have to say this is really great!
It really fits in well with the film, using the same actors voices and the characters look very similiar to their real-life counterparts.

As well as Batman, you get to play as Bruce Wayne in training before he becomes batman and also as Bruce in a tuxedo in a level which has the Wayne Manor in flames. Very cool.

The driving bits are great fun as well, very Burnout, with extra racing modes being unlocked after you beaten those levels.

The main gameplay consists of a mixture of combat and stealth. If Batman comes accross a group of heavily armed enemies, he will end up dyingh if he tries to tackle them directly. you need to use stealth to sneak up on them or even beter use your fear-gadgets or a batarang on your surroundings (e.g throw your batarang at a gas-pipe to burst it), to scare them a bit beforehand, making defeating the enemies easier.

The game isn't too difficult (though the combat seems to be a lot tougher in Challenging mode) and took me about 9 or 10 hours to beat in Normal mode.

The graphics are simply amazing. The levels graphics are some of the best i've seen on a GameCube game and the Batman charcater looks very cool in his bausuit and cape.

The game could have had a bit less linear with more ways of solving the situations that you come accross but at least it means you never get stuck for too long.

The controls are pretty straight forward, with 2 butons for combat (punch & kick) as well as another button for soing special finishing moves and other buttons for batarang and fear gadgets.

AWESOME GAME

This is a really good game. You don't get much freedom on how you do things, but it's still a great game.

BECOME BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was considering buying this game, the first thing I did was to go and read the other people's reviews on it. I read a heck lot about how it was too "restrictive": not letting you do what you want to do when you want to do it. Overall, I got the impression that this game was not super good.

Well, I'm going to rephrase all that right now.

This game is THE BEST, especialy if you are a Batman freak like I am. The only flaw in it is the mild language that frequently gets spewed out of the filthy crooks' mouths when they see the giant bat dropping down on them. Turn the volume down and you're good!

Even if you are not a Batman nut like I am, you will enjoy this game for it's clever layout and plot, which is like the movie but not quite identical to it (which I like). It has great levels, including patroling Gotham City and driving the Batmobile; so you get to accomplish all of Batman's skills!

I would definately recomend this game to anyone who wants to try their hand at Batman's great skills or just plain wants to have a sweet time when they bring out their Gamecube.

Awesome GC Game!

I love this game! The graphics are some of the best I have seen. The voice acting is great, considering they are all the actors from the film.

The whole game done very well. The best!

I bought this game for one reason, and one reason alone: I wanted to drive the Batmobile.

I bring home the game, pop it in. I was impressed. Excellent graphics, similar storlyine to the movie, featuring all the actors doing voices for their corresponding parts, snippets of footage from the movie injected here and there. Fair enough. The first level was entertaining, but once the novelty of jumping out of a burning building as Batman wears off, what's left? My major complaint is the lack of free-will the game gives you. In order to get to where you need to be, you have to follow the on-screen instructions. You want to use your Batarang? Nope, not 'til the game tells you to! You want to go fight those criminals? Nope, the game requires you scare them first. You wanna open that door? You damn well better use your fiber optic cable to look behind it first! After playing this game for the first 30 minutes, I grew tired of it. Not feeling like there was much gameplay to be had with it, I spent a few weeks playing it here and there, without much passion. It gets better as it goes along, surprisingly. But the kicker is when, halfway through the game, you unlock the Batmobile! From here on out, I have to say, we have a great game. It takes a while to get to the good stuff, but it's worth it. As you pass each level, you can unlock special features which include Alternate Batsuits, Batmobile missions, the Gallery Of Fear (where you stroll through Arkham Asylum) and plenty of footage from the movie (which would probably be better if the movie isn't already out on DVD, sitting on my shelf). Part of why this game may be getting bad reviews could very well be due to people getting impatient. However, if you do your time with this game, you will be rewarded. It might not be as exciting as other games in your library, but surely, it's one of the better Batgames that I've played in my time.

Batman Begins - This is one of the better games...

This game reminds me of Catwoman because of the style of play and fighting. The fighting in this game is really easy. There are only a few moves.
I have gone through many gamecube games looking for the best ones. I am into graphics. I am also into action games.
This game is definately better than catwoman and is worth buying especially if you are a fan of batman. His suit looks great and his movements are cool. His voice is pretty scratchy though... he sounds like he just woke up most of the time.
I love the bad guys in this game. It seems to have a good story line. The driving part of the game is pretty fun.
I loved the graphics in catwoman, but later realized that the replay value of the game was terrible. Batman begins CAN be boring at times but is still fun to play and a fairly addictive.

Best Batman Game

This is the best Batman game since Batman Returns for NES. The game has elements that remind you of Splinter Cell, with the stealth moves, but much simpler and easier to pull them off. It has a radar like the one y Metal Gear Solid. It also has a lot of acrobatics as the ones in Prince of Persia, but the obstacles are not as challenging. Still it's a fun game to play, best of all is not a game that will frustrate you. It also has three dificulty levels, should you need a bigger challenge or if you are a novice player you can play in easy mode.
The Graphics are great and as all EA licensed games you get some live action cutscenes, and the character likeness' is amazing. The voice acting is done by all of the main characters, but Gary Oldman as Gordon. Sound effects are pretty good, you can't expect less from EA.
The story differs a little from the movie, but in escence it follows the movie plot. The game is short even for non dedicated gamers and if you have beaten the above mentioned games, this one will be a walk on the park.
I think is a better game than it is given credit for, but you should better rent it. If you are a Batman fan I would suggest to wait for it to drop price, because it is over very fast.

WHOSE AFRAID OF THE BIG BLACK BAT???

Even though this game is rated T for teens, my 6 yr. old already beat it. He got it for his 6th birthday & it was all the rave-HE JUST HAD TO HAVE THE BATMAN GAME! I realize the overall content is a bit graphic for someone his age but he always played it under adult supervision. It is an extremely compelling game & difficult to put down once you get started. We never even saw the movie but it didn't matter because the game is extremely depictive of the what goes on it. This game is DEFINITELY recommended for any Batman fan.

An Above Average Batman Game

Batman Begins is not only one of the best batman games i have played in awhile, but one of the best games in general i have played in awhile. Not quite good enough for the big five stars. After a couple dissapointing batman games such as "Rise Of Sin Tzu" and "Dark Tommorow", Batman Begins is a breath of fresh air. The gameplay is excellent, story line is deep, and cutscenes arent bad either. I Would recommend this game to both advanced and casual gamers. Excellent game overall.
