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 XBox 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.

AWSOME GAME!!!!!!!

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.

If you loved the movie, you'll love the game. Of course, there's a little bit more events in the game, but they are well worth it. Being able to sneak up on your enemies and basically scare the s*** out of them in the immediate area is loads of fun. I especially liked dropping in from above and taking them out. The interrogations are pretty fun too. Bringing the cast of Batman Begins in to do the voice work (except for Morgan Freeman) and using movie clips as some cut scenes is a treat too. So go out and get this game...at least rent it!

Batman is a blast!

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 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.

This game loses something

The game's story follows the film almost exactly. You take the role of Bruce Wayne, whose motivation for crime-fighting stems from witnessing his parents' brutal murder in Gotham City. In Batman Begins, this passion takes darker overtones, and Batman must constantly balance his internal rage with his sense of justice. The game starts off in the Himalayas, where you learn the dark arts of being a ninja from a mysterious sect. Your mentor is a man named Ducard, voiced brilliantly in the game by Liam Neeson. As you reach the end of your training under Ducard and his odd band of ninjas, you're confronted with a moral dilemma. It's there that young Bruce Wayne decides that even his brand of angry vengeance has its limits, and he won't join in the sect's vision of bloodlust as justice against crime. From there the game's story shifts to Gotham City, where you uncover the mystery behind the trafficking of a mysterious hallucinogen.

Batman Begins makes for a decent companion to the film. After you spend about seven or eight hours to beat the game, you unlock numerous bonus items, such as interviews with the movie cast, galleries, and more. But as a game it doesn't quite measure up. Though it borrows numerous conventions from other great action adventure franchises, the elements don't end up coming together very well, resulting in a game that feels less than the sum of its parts.

One of the best

If you love Batman you will love to be him. This game is really easy to understand the controls, some games loose point just because you can not figure out how to get them to go anything. This is a game that I wasn't thinking would be great, but we rented it first, and now we are waiting for it to ship!

PLUS - Once your order ships, a promotional code that can be redeemed for a free ticket--valued at up to $12. SO now we can go see the movie again. THis time a Buy one get one kinda thing!!
