Video Game Reviews of Batman Vengeance
Customer Review: This game was actually loads of fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
Batman Vengeance is a fun action game that keeps you enjoying every moment all the way through the game. Honestly, I'm not one to like Batman, but this game was so much fun. When this game first came out, it was actually a lot of fun. I really wanted a good action/adventure game to play and what better than a batman game to fulfill this need. I've never watched the Batman animated series, but I hear that the game is loosely based on those. It's got a very dark, comic book look. The graphics are very hard to judge because of the art direction it takes. They don't look bad in any sense, they are just very comic book-y. I actually really enjoyed the look of the game. Let's just say they aren't realistic in any way.
The gameplay is also really good. Although the game takes a very "go from point A to B" type of style it is still so much fun. Throughout the game, you will encounter some of the most popular Batman bad guys from Poison Ivy to Doctor Freeze, and of course The Joker. They all make a great contribution to the game. Most of the game is played through a 3rd person perspective. When in this perspective, you can do pretty much everything except use your special gadgets and bat-toys. In that case, you go into a 1st person mode. My favorite of the gadgets is probably the batarangs; they are SO much fun! One small gripe about these gadgets is you cannot use them while staying in 3rd person. When you use any of them, the game automatically takes you into 1st person mode, which can feel pretty clunky and confusing at times. If you are in close combat, however, you can stay in 3rd person mode and fight with good old punches and kicks. The fighting in this game was put together very well and felt very authentic.
Overall, this game was very good, especially for a game that came out in 2001. It had a very unique art style that I liked a lot, even though it didn't truly show the power of the Xbox. It was definitely worth playing, a little short, but still very good.
Description of Batman Vengeance
In Batman: Vengeance, the gritty underworld of Gotham ignites as Batman becomes the target of a nerve-rattling conspiracy. After the Joker plummets to his death in an attempt to kill Batman, Gotham's criminals quickly escalate their schemes to gain power. Batman discovers subtle links in these seemingly unrelated crimes, but is forced undercover after being framed for an attack on Commissioner Gordon. Hunted by the police, the Dark Knight must pinpoint the unseen enemy weaving this sinister web before Gotham City falls to a fiery demise.Batman: Vengeance introduces the most versatile 3-D Batman game yet, with more than 500 animated movements, special fighting moves, and a multifunctional cape with its own AI. For the first time, players can journey through a fully rendered 3-D Gotham City with Batman's sleek weapons and devices at their fingertips, including the BatGrapple, BatScope, Batarang, BatLauncher, flash bombs, and more. There is a huge array of gameplay modes: exploring, fighting, first-person shooter, driving, flying, freefall, and puzzles.
The Gotham City environment, reconstructed in full 3-D, contains 19 playable maps, including the rooftops, Gotham Industrial Research, and the Batcave. There are also more than 40 minutes of cinematics featuring the original voice cast of TV's The New Batman Adventures. The game's original story line was collaboratively written by Warner Bros. and DC Comics from the files of The New Batman Adventures. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound soundtrack features original music inspired by the TV series.
