I rented the game expecting the worst, seeing as movie-based games are usually less than satisfying. I just wanted to get some laughs out of it, and ended up turning it off after an hour of frusteration.
Pros-
*The graphics were very impressive. I love how everything is all dark and dirty. It definitely gives the game a certain feel to it.
*Apparently Catwoman gets bored as you stand idle, so she breaks into an oh-so-suggestive cutscene, where she begins licking herself and dancing. Simply hilarious!
Cons-
*Awful camera angles. You have no choice but to blindly trot about and endure the witty cat puns.
*The witty cat puns.
*Dull, repetitive gameplay. I was hoping for something at least a LITTLE more complicated than holding down R and tilting C so Catwoman can do an endless array of martial arts moves.
*Maybe I'm just cruddy at gaming, but the whole time I played this game I had no idea what the heck I was supposed to be doing. The little captions at the bottom only tell you so much, so, basically, I was left just going around in circles. Even the first level was a chore.
*The fun-kay music.
So, basically, this is for people who are willing to plop down on the couch and sit through tedious missions involving kicking police officers into dumpsters. If you aren't one of those people, I'd suggest seeking something a little less patience-searing.
In between....

Well, this game sucks. There is no denying it. But, I do not regret buying it. The overall gameplay is very good, but some things muddle it up a bit. For instance, the terrible camera angles. Half of the time, you can't even see catwoman, so you are doing pointless guesswork as to where you need to go. Also, the levels are confusing! I had to get a walkthrough for this game, not something I do very often. The fighting is pretty repetitive, you just hold L and move the C stick in the direction you want to kick someone. One thing I do like about this game,though, is the fact that you can't kill people. You have to throw them in a dumpster or they never stop trying to hurt you. I am starting to prefer that instead of all-out murder. Another thing I like about this is the good graphics. Okay, one last thing before I let you go! You can swing form poles, climb mesh, swing from your whip, and basically do everything catwoman does. Overall, this game is good.
I'm not overreacting at the lameness of this game

HOW FUN IS IT TO REALLY BE CATWOMAN?
Not fun at all when you can't play the game.
No.. seriously. You can't seem to play this game. The camera angles are unbelievably bad.. ( some of the worst ) and the gameplay is VERY repetative.. Also - When you kill a person, they just get a yellow glow around them. What is up with this game? EA you can do better, and I hope you start showing it again..
This game is reccomended from me to be intended for a 5 - 7 year old girl with WAY too much free time.
The only good thing about this game? The graphics. That's it.
Believe me - It's not worth the GREEN.. SKIP IT
This was also voted the worst game of 2004 by Gamepro ( A video game magazine )
But in my opinion.. it's one of the worst ever.
P.S. Reminder: STAY AWAY!
It's A Man's World...

Not everything in life needs to be taken so seriously. Especially "Catwoman", in many regards the game is perfectly fitting for the movie. Both come hot on the heels of the major anti-perfect summer love fest (I'm taking shots at the ultra serious "Spideryawn 2")...and "Catwoman" looks to be left in the dark. Playing as leather queen Patience Phillips (aka Catwoman) players must manipulated Catty's nimble body through 9 level obstacle course. The controls can be a bit odd at first; with lots of controls and functions to get down. But...the game does give you hints anytime you come across a tricky situation. The uneducated fear not, "Catwoman" has you covered.
The graphics are adequate, with most of the emphasis going on Catwoman's sexy form and supermodel strut. Gets more and more like the movie! Halle Berry is nicely replicated physically with her voice being over dubbed by the occasional wannabe. The enviroments are gritty with a whole bunch of things to crawl up, swing on, and kick.
My biggest complaint in the camera. You can't move. No kidding. Therefore making the simplest jump or strike can be made a million times more complicated that it should be. Which, as you know is incredibly frustrating.
For me, "Catwoman" is a good time. I'm not ashamed...the movie was fierce. Nothing or nobody's perfect, even Catwoman.
ignorance is bliss, hiss hiss hiss

TRY driving forward with only a rear window view!-Right'O Its ALL about looking at the Cat, not at where you are or what U are doing. or Hang on and Dont paws. Hear is a Big one, just let the game idle for the 1-900 cat dance.As STATed by Others , NO View change (only 2-4% left or right on the + pad)There are some Nice moves but if you cant see what you are doing or going then what is the point. Ooops hang on you can use a whip and you look at catwoman all the time. WHO NEEDS TO SEEE WHERE U R GOING?A caption hint to help you with the moves at first but the bullets are flying.I was in great hope of some time alone in the jewelry shop to try out coool moves and views and angles... Sntch and jump and and and... (Wake up dummy your dreaming!)NO SUCH LUCK!!You dont have a lot of options as for checking out the city scape.... you go where you have to because there is no place else.Top it off you have to buy YES Buy moves.I found Only 1 cheat online for this game.. and it was only for a gallery not moves.So why is the price drop from 50 down to 12something?This game is suitable for April 1st eyeCandy.
Catwoman game surprisingly good!

I was concerned about getting the Catwoman video game, sinc ethe movie wasn't that great I was afraid the game would also be complicated of dumb or just not good at all. To my pleasant surprise this game is pretty awesome, very entertaining, very fun. Challenging yet not impossible to do (something I at least like in a game). It's got Halle Berry's voice and the graphics are great. Very exciting moves and flowing movements, YOU ARE Catwoman when you play this game! And you can practically go anywhere, jump anything, whip whatever you want. My thumb hurts from the joystick, and I'm not joking.
