Alot of fun

This game was one of the easiest I have ever owned, but it was still one of the most fun games I have ever played. The controls were a no-brainer to figure out and it was just about impossible to screw this game up. It doesn't allow you to go anywhere or do anything that isn't required to finish the game. If you are looking for strategy, this game isn't for you. if you have seen the movie and you love Batman, then you will love it.

Okay... but limited?

The visual style of this game, just like the movie, is very good. The inclusion of Splinter Cell "stealth" elements is also a good idea. However, there are a couple of significant problems with this game:

1. WAY too linear. There is ONE way to scare a bad guy in each level, ONE place to throw a batarang in the whole level, ONE way forward and back. Batman is a creative guy! Make it open-ended like GTA, Spider-man, and Superman Returns... Batman is the most creative of all those folks, so his game should match.

2. Fighting and "fear" systems: Semi-broken, not very satisfying.

3. In relation to #1, Gotham feels very small. It would be nice to explore it from the rooftops and in vehicles. So far you are pretty much stuck in a building or two, with one straightforward objective.

Despite these design flaws, the production value of this game is very high. Worth renting, but hopefully the next game is open-ended, darnit.

THIS GAME IS THE BEST

THIS GAME IS BASED ON THE MOVIE I MEAN IT JUST PLAYS THROUGH IT BEFORE THE LEVEL IT SHOWS YOU A VIDO OF THE MOVIE THAN YOU PLAY OUT THE SCENE
I IS KINDA CHANLENGING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO DISTRACT THE THUGS SO THEY FERE YOU AND DROP THEIR WEPONS

A GOOD GAME FOR A GREAT MOVIE

This game kept my interest for a considerable amount of time considering how short it was. That was one of my few complaints about this game is that it is really short, I basically beat it i twice in about six days. This is really not a game that you should buy because it is so short, I rented it. The graphics for this game are extremely impressive, the game does a very good job of going from an in game cutcene right to the game without any pauses. Batman Begins is mainly a stealth game, where you have to create diversions or scenarios that scare your enemies. When your enemies are scared enough that is the right moment for batman to attack. The more scared your enemies are the worse they fight. The combat system is really easy to figure out and is kinda cool, I would have prefered some different moves cause it does kind of get repetetive. The mission in the Arkham asylum is by far the best, it is a very dark and morbid level. This is a definant must rent game, but I wouldn't buy it.

I was expecting more

I saw Batman Begins and I thought it was pretty good. I was very excited when I heard there was going to be a game based on the movie. When I rented it I was very disapointed. This game is so short that I got frustrated about it. The best thing in this game is using stealth and scaring your emimies. The game is very repeditive. Overall it's a rent.

A fun stealth-type game - minus the frustration.

If you like stealth games (ie Splinter Cell) but can't handle the frustration of being completely stuck with no idea of what to do next, Batman Begins is a great game. You probably wont need a player's guide because you can figure everything out with relative ease. There are also a couple of really fun driving levels featuring the new & improved Batmobile. The controls are easy to learn and the graphics are great. There are also some cool features & extras as you go through the game, and when you beat the game you can play in different Batman costumes. I love this game, I am going to play it again and I reccommend it to anyone who likes Batman.

Revenge of the Bat

This game is so awesome! I can't stop playing it. I have nothing bad to say about it. Graphics,control,difficulty,fun,sound,no complaints! It's also a lot of fun to replay over & over again. I rented it, but I will buy a copy in the near future. If you loved the movie like I did,get this game!

Best Batman video game too !

The game comes straight from the movie obviously.You unlock more and more movie clips and other prizes with every stage you complete.As for the graphics go , awesome.Batman has great climbing capabilties.His hit combos aren't so great either thats for sure.But you do have special movies that mainly invlove jumping up in the air and falling upside down and drop kick the opponent.I give it three out of five stars.

Simply put : WOW

this is honestly THE best Batman game i have ever played. i am a huge batfan and loved this game, i have beaten it 4 times already, its freaking FUN to play in different "batsuits" i personally like the "worlds greatest detective" suit. And the "splinter-cell*ism*" of it is GREAT!

Anyway ALL the cut scenes are GREAT (especially cause they are In-game) and the controls are great. The camera and sound are good to.

The batmobile is SWEET but has bad armor, so dont hit any walls.

If you like Batman, BUY IT. if you dont like batman, BUY IT.
