This game is actually fun. I've read the other reviews and I felt that I had to rebut them. If you like games like Grand Theft Auto Vice City, then this game would be below average. If you are looking for a game that is simple and fun, much like the old-school beat 'um ups, then this is a great game. There are no complex puzzles here. And there are no vast cities or levels here. It's just button-mashing like the good old days. So if you feel the urge to do some button-mashing to forget a stressful day at work then this one's for you. If you're a fan of Batman, then you should get this game. It is simple fun.

Good but short

The look of this game was really great. (If you don't already know) It takes the stylized look of the WB cartoon seris and translates it to 3D. The cinematics were also really great.

However, the short fall of this game is that it is too short and too easy. Sometimes it takes a little while to figure out exactly what you are supposed to do - however the puzzle elements fall way short of games like the Zelda series.

It's rated T for Teen bit I'd recomend this game for the 6 to 12 crowd.

Batman Vengence is a TOP shelf hit.!!!

The first thing I thought when I saw this game was, ah it's a rental at best. Man was I wrong! This game has it all. Great plot, graphics, and the sound and music really highlight the game. The cutscenes are the best I have seen for a gamecube game so far, and like I said the storyline for a game is simple great. The only two things I see wrong with this game is it is kinda short, and there is no BANE(best bad guy in Batman history). Other then that this game is worth the money, and will give you plenty of enjoyment. Can't wait for Batman:Dark Tommarow.

I did not really know any of the controls. I would not waste my money on Batman Veneance. I hope now that you understand my statement.

ummmm... Okay

this game was my third one. it is pretty fun. the controls r easy and you get to take on some of batmans worst enemys. this game isnt the best one in the world. its just okay. so if your bored and have 19$ you should just get this.

While Batman Vengeance has its shortcomings that seem to be inherent in Batman games, it is fun to play

Batman Vengeance is a really good game, not great but really good. However, the method for saving a game in progress is the worst. You have to quit the game and then save it. I have not played any game that had that kind of idiotic save method before. No automatic saving in this game. I had played this game the first day I got it for like six hours straight which is a lot for me because I am a busy man and it was extremely fun and exciting because of the great story, sound effects, and brilliant cutscenes. If you are a fan of the animated batman series, then this game is for you. A lot of interesting twists in story occur throughout this game, which I figured out from the beginning but still wanted to play through the game to see them unfold. The battle against the joker is nothing short of spectacular even though it was quick and easy. While Batman's skills in fisticuffs is okay and a bit sluggish at times and controls for cuffing people is somewhat troublesome and glitchy, the controls for using his weapons and utilities are quite good. The fights are still fun and somewhat fun to watch, while jumping from rooftop to rooftop and down ladders is fantastic. Note: I beat this game the third day I got it. The only reason why it took three days is because of the bizarre save mechanism. I had to play through the entire game all over on the third day for about 10-12 hours or so. The way the joker behaves in this game is delightful because his behavior is a good match for him. The cut scenes in this game are fantastic, but it is a short game with really close to nothing to replay it for except a second run through of the story.

Just as good as the cartoon is in every respect

Batman has appeared in quite a few video games over the years, and most of them have been rather horrible. This one on the other hand is fantastic. The graphics look similar to those of the cartoon series that ran for quite some time. The play control is also good, with an easy to learn system that can be somewhat awkward at times, but nothing too unmanageable. The sound and music is a real plus to this title though. The cast of the cartoon series voiced this game. Kevin Conroy as Batman, Mark Hamil as the Joker, who could ask for more. The game itself is full of aciton. Through the use of all of Batman's gadgets you can bust up crime in Gotham City all you want. Secrets are also hidden in each level, driving you to explore a bit more. This game is a true tribute to Batman.

Batman finally gets gaming justice

Whoa! The gameplay in this game is amazing, as well as the storyline, graphics, cinematics, and pretty much everything else. There have been many Batman games over the years, and in my opinion, this is the only one worth playing. I especially like the bat gadgets and A.I. cape(with gliding feature!) The animation and storyline reminds me a lot of the original Batman animated series in the early 90s, as if the creators and main writers worked on it. This is what Batman is all about!

This game is phat ...

As advertisment for this game, the fact that this game had more than 500 movies(which cannot be skipped) is not a perk at all. you see once the game is even started, you have to watch a movie. the first movie is not that long but it gets worse. I do enjoy the gadgets that are available but however, i feel you should be able to use the batgrappler whenever you please. what is the point of you being batman if they tell when to use the freakin thing. the fighting is amusing in the beginning but as you make progress thruout the game, it gets boring seeing the same moves. this is why i think it is phat that you can earn new moves. i dont know if any of you have played the Superman game for 64 but it was well, crap. nothing more nothing less. the body mapping was similar to batman because of course the simply drawn cartoon but i mean c'mon can we see a realistic looking superhero game besides Spiderman. Now theres a hero role playing game for you. simply amazin'. but man these block head games just aint cuttin it graphic wise. but to atleast end on a good note, the gliding action with Batman's cape is impressive and hot. this game would've easily gotten 4 or maybe 5 stars from me but it just freakishly reminds me of superman on 64 too much.
