GRAPHICS: The graphics have not the quality required for a 1995 game. The digitized sprites are large but look a bit blocky and their animation is too fast and unintentionally comical. The backgrounds are dark, to the point that you can't see anything but your sprite, and they look dithered. What I liked a bit is the Batcave (level 7) but that cannot alter my opinion.SOUND: The horrible sound makes the graphics seem OK. The music has nothing to do with the grand score of the film. It is very repetitive. The sound effects do their job but the sampled voices are horrible and unintentionally comical. It's better to turn off the sound and put a CD of your own to listen while you play (if you decide to play for that matter). GAMEPLAY: The game is a mix between Mortal Kombat fighting action and a platform game. Unfortunatelly it fails on both counts. The control system is too complicated and it can be perceived as an achievement the successful use of the grappling hook or any of the weapons. |

Jumping is very awkward and many times you will fall unintentionally off platforms while attempting a jump. The game constists of 8 levels divided in several stages each. You will face many enemies that can be defeated with random kicks and punches. In some levels you will face Two-Face and the Riddler as bosses. They are tough nuts. OVERALL: As you can see the game has not much on offer. With its poor graphics, sound and terrible gameplay it is a disgrace to the Batman license. I will recommend this game only for Batman purist who need to play every version available. But they will be very dissappointed...The rest of you will do better without this game. Although I don't like the word, I will say it: This game SUCKS. Here are the scores in % CHEAT: If, after all, you decide to play here's a cheat. The game is too tough so use it. At the title screen press Left Up Left Left A B (Lullab) and you will get a level select screen. |
