I bet this game looked good on paper

This is not a bad game. It has everything. Yet for some reason, its just not that exciting. Its proof that its not 'what' you do, but 'how' you do it.

This is a neat little game, but for some reason you cant wait until its over.
The fighting is cool. Nothing great, a little bit satisfying.
You get to use your utility belt, batarangs, and other stuff. But even then its just ok.

I can't really explain it. When I describe the game to someone, it sounds so much better, and I quickly have to add that 'its really not as good as it sounds.'

You get to control the cartoon batman around. He can jump, punch, kick, and glide via his cape. You get to beat up bad guys and handcuff them once they are knocked out.

THe gameplay is linear. the villians are mostly all there. But it feels alot like playing Dragon's Lair if that makes sense. The voice acting is decent, the story is so-so. It doesnt looked rushed. Its just not that much fun.

    This game follows the show Batman very well, from what I know. Unlike Rise of Sin Tzu, this game is based more on stealthy attacks on enemies and disarming them with weapons (like a batarang or smoke bomb.) The combat sy... Read Full Review
