Impressive!, 17 Jun 2005
By A Customer
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 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.

Ok, you guessed it wait till Batman 2, 4 Jul 2005
DAMN YOU! yes, what seemed a promising title, nay a Splinter cell with pointy ears and wings plummits to level "naff" with a "pow splat".
Quickly follow me on a tour of how to kill a damned good game. Ok graphics, not bad, just rushed some minor gripes but on the whole exceptable. Sound, well voiced by the cast, not too bad but like the graphics I got the impression that the compaay knew what they wanted, but due to lack of time could not implement it.
The game feels like one BIG training mission, you know, where you get to grips with the controls, the game tells you what to press, where you can go etc. Thing is I wanted a Splinter cell/Thief experience i.e. Mr Bats starts out side, you have to get in, by the front door, grapple to window, or glide to roof, your choice. What you get is one way and no other way. Weapons can only be use on certain objects, bombs can only be used when thugs have spotted you! etc. When you walk into the room, what you can do is highlighted so you just follow along like an obediant puppy. No tatics, no stalking, no freedom. Come on guys for the second game give us the ability to sit in any rafta we want, if we miss a jump we have cape, we can glide,we can use out bat line to rescue our selves (Spidy 2 style) we don't have to die. And why can't Batsy swim, ok ok do the baty paddle. The car sections are nice, but again, told what to do etc.
Not a bad game, and the best Batman game to date (that's not hard) wait untill it gets cheap and cheerfull,or better still borrow a friends copy!

THE BEST, 8 Aug 2005
This game is really good but is not advised for those who get tense. The gameplay is brilliant and it isnt to hard and you shouldn't be stuck for more than a few tries on it. If you like splinter cell you will like this it is ace.
