The intro movie to Batman Vengeance is amazing. Sadly, that's about the only thing that's amazing. It turns out that this title is just another run-of-the-mill side scrolling platform game. That's not the problem, the problem is that it's not a very good one.

The movies look great, with little cinemas and pictures that rival those found in the PlayStation 2 version of the game. The in-game graphics, however, are not as spectacular and are very similar in quality to SpiderMan 2: The Sinister Six on the Game Boy Color. Yeah, not Advance, Color.

The scrolling is smooth, but there isn't much variety in the enemies you will encounter. Again, the sound effects of the little cinemas are amazing, but the in-game music and sounds are also lackluster. The control scheme is easy enough; jump, throw batarang, jump, throw, run, jump; that's pretty much it. Determined fans of the Dark Knight will rejoice, as there are a good number of levels, ensuring hours of jump, throw batarang, jump, throw, run, and jump.

Overall, Batman Vengeance is a pretty decent game for someone who loves Batman, but a not-so-good game for someone who is just a casual fan. GBA has much better platform games, including Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 or Sonic Advance.
