Batman Begins

This is the top of the line Batman we've been waiting for. Following the very succsessful movie "Batman Begins", the video game adaption captures the feel of batman and what he really has to do to be a sucssessfull hero, he can't just jump in and beat up the guys with machine guns and knifes. Here in this game, you use a fear technique by scaring your opponents to drop their weapons in fear. It works very well and stays solid throughout the game. The Grapics are also outstanding. Great graphics, and solid gameplay throughout, make this an obvious pickup, for any batman fan.

9 out of 10

This game has a really fun mechanic going.

Every encounter feels like a puzzle, har to do before you can hurt the enemy because scare the guns out of their hands which is a fun puzzle and figure out how to do it it does also mean that it is very scripted in every part the game so with the novelty does wear off at some point,

then you're left with the combat that is not good maybe bad. Maybe maybe just averages how to say let's just say that it is not fun and last hour of the game was just boring.

But it looks really nice for late Xbox game and driving section that was burnout inspireret was fun. I think this game has a lot of fun things going for it but sadly after the two first hours of the game it becomes repetitious.

But the fear mechanic is so unique to this game that it is worth playing. I would say it even if it doesn't hold up all the way through it is worth playing and see this really okay movie game.

And seeing how terrified the enemies become of the Batman is f** awesome. He looks like a demon in their eyes.

This is another awesome Batman video game and for all the same reasons it has lots of action in it the storyline is really good the computer generation is really good and they look just like what they looked like in the movie the levels are really fun they may get a little hard as you go along but that just makes it more fun. Also the voice over actors are really good such as Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Kaine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. Also the villains are really good such as Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow, Liam Neeson as Henri Ducard etc. So I am sure that you will not be disappointed with Batman Begins because it is an awesome Batman video game. So make sure that you rent or buy Batman Begins because it is just so great.

Overall score: ********** out of **********

***** out of *****

Overall Batman Begins is a good movie tie-in game. Not great. But close, and definitely worth a playthrough, especially with current used prices below $10 across all platforms. (It looks great on my Xbox 360, as it's on the list of backwards-compatible games, and I have the original Xbox release.)

I was relieved the devs got all the original actors for the game's dialogue. Definitely a plus.

The Batmobile controls great in the two driving levels that thankfully add some much-needed variety to Batman Begins. Yes, this game lacks variety. It's very linear, and the entire game plays like this: You get to an area, see some thugs, figure out how to frighten them, then attack when they are scared. If you rush into a fight, you'll quickly die in a hail of bullets in most cases. Problem is, there's mostly only one exact approach to each encounter, which is the greatest weakness of the game and limits the replayability. I do like that rushing into a fight will get you killed. It reinforces the fact that Batman is only a man after all, lacking the super powers of his peers.

Batman has gadgets to help him fight crime, but they aren't as developed as I'd like, often requiring case-specific use. For example, the batarang is only used to clear debris or break some support structure or whatnot to open up your path. Kinda lame since I wanted to hit some baddies with my bat-shuriken. And that super sick high frequency emitter that Batman uses to summon bats in the film? Super lame in this game.

Combat is okay. The controls feel delayed but once you get the timing down, there's enjoyment to be found within the rhythm of this dance. It was like playing Ninja Gaiden 3 instead of Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Black, the latter having very responsive controls and requiring precise timing. That's not what you do here. There's no combo system. The fighting looks cool tho and feels satisfying when you clear a room of enemies without taking any damage.

I played the game on the easiest difficulty, not wanting to spend too much time with this slightly outdated game. But nothing kept me from ultimately enjoying my time with Batman Begins. I just wish I could have played the game with the alternative costumes, as they appeared to only be unlocked after beating it.

Honestly surprised the rating is so high (currently an 8.2), as this is higher than some of the more recent Batman games. My guess is that most ratings were given before the next gen games were released. If I had played this back in 2005 I would have been more impressed. Nevertheless, it's still a solid experience playing Batman Begins in 2020, and I definitely recommend it to every gamer who is a fan of Batman.

This game is great! It is so fun to play. It was never meant to be a hard to beat game. It was made for one reason. For fun. It is a long game. There are many levels. It is just such a fun game. Now, in my opinion, this is one of the ten best video games ever. This is what I think the order goes in my opinion. Mercenaries, Indiana Jones and the emperor's tomb, Grand Theft auto: San Andreas, Call of duty 2, Batman Begins, Jak II, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Star Wars Battlefront II, and then Call of Duty: Big Red One. Now you probably don't agree with me on this, but I think that is how it is. It is a very fun game. There is lots of action and it is just very fun. There is also a very good story. This is one of the best video games ever. 10/10.
