 THE BEST BATMAN GAME EVER September 25, 2008
I've been a Batman fan my whole life, and I've played every Batman-based video game ever made. So trust me when I say that the BATMAN BEGINS game adaptation is the best Bat-game ever. EVER.
Now, this comes from the Batfan, not from a die-hard gamer. I suppose that if you are more interested in a great gaming experience, then you might not be quite as high on this one as myself. However, if you, like me, have spent a large portion of your life wishing you could be Batman, then this game will more than satisfy you.
Never before has a game existed that so perfectly captures how Batman works (or rather WOULD work) in the real world. I guess it took a movie with the same concept behind it to pull it off.
In the BATMAN BEGINS game, it's not about incessant puzzle solving or endless fisticuffs. You don't have to spend hours just trying to complete and area or defeat a boss. In this game, you get to do...well, BATMAN stuff. You throw Batarangs. You sneak up and stealthily disarm opponents. You crawl around ceiling pipes and inside air ducts and use gas bombs and flash grenades and the freakin-awesome HFT. But most of all, you get to spend a lot of time scaring the crap out of your enemies, interrogating them, beating them, and leaving them regretting the day they ever crossed your point-eared path.
If you love or even like Batman, get this game. It rocks.
 Much like EA's LOTR games, this looks and sounds great, but it's linear and tedious July 28, 2008
Splinter Cell without the freedom. Which is a bit odd way to classify this game as even tho there is some freedom in the SC series, most of the time it's basically sneak up and choke someone. Batman Begins follows a similar formula, only instead of waiting for the right moment to execute a move, the game simply tells you when to press the button, and then you watch.
Really that is what this game is about, the developers made a cool looking Batman videogame and want you to watch their non-interactive demo. Unfortunately EA's notoriously short deadlines forced the developers to hammer out some gameplay to go along with the spiffy graphics. The result feels exactly like that, a rushed contrived set of gampeplay pieces that really don't allow any freedom at all. The entire game feels like a staged demo of Alpha Code designed as a milestone for a project.
It's suggesting which way the gameplay could be handled. The problem is that is how the game unfolds from start to finish. Like a hint of an idea that would have been cool and this game is the tech demo to prove how cool it could be.
8 hours later when you're done w/ Batman Begins, the thought may sit there with you. "Man what a cool game this could someday be". Hopefully someone will pick up the slack w/ "The Dark Knight" game if that ever happens. They have some great ideas in BB, if only someone could make a fun, playable, cohesive game that allowed a bit more interaction than pressing the X button when the game instructs you to.
As Good As You Have Heard July 15, 2008
With tons of bad games based on movies being made, this is still one of the few that is actually really good. For the PS2, the graphcis are amazing. Even more than that, the game is really fun. It feels like a great Batman game more than a game based on the movie. overall, this is a must play. Awesome
Truly Captures The Spirit Of Batman And The Movie April 18, 2008
From the moment the movie was released, I fell instantly in love with it. It captured exactly how I imagined Bruce Wayne became Batman. It has since become one of my all-time favorite movies, and my favorite comic book-based movie of all time. As I usually am with movie-based video games, though, I was nervous about this title, despite how much I loved the movie. So, it was with trepidation that I went to a local store and bought it. Full-price, I might add. I went home, put it in my PS2, started it up...and fell instantly in love with it the same way I did with the movie.
The graphics are outstanding, especially for old-gen. The music, what exists, fits in perfectly. The voices of the original actors added immensely to the experience. Stalking bad guys until their hearts beat rapidly and getting the drop on them...priceless. I felt like I was in Batman's cape and cowl, fighting as him. I really cannot say enough about it. Most other reviews out there are dead wrong...give this game a chance. You won't regret it. I wish I could say more, but I don't want to make it to long. Go give this game a chance. I look forward to Dark Knight.
Great Batman Game!!! March 2, 2008
I played this game before I saw the movie. I loved both. The gameplay is fear and fighting with some running climbing jumping and sneaking. Gameplay is awesome. The graphics are also good for a ps2 game. The character models are well detailed and the lighting effects are crisp and clean. The sound is perfect. The voice actors are from the film to bring their character to life. The story also follows the movies plot real closely. The sound of the guns are also outstanding. The menus are basic at points but then lead into bigger menus. The only flaw is that the game is only six hours long. All in all, Batman Begins is an outstanding game. Its worth every penny.
