Batman Begins

For the record, I fall under the "casual gamer" category and have played a total of seven games on the current run of consoles (sans X-Box 360). I've played the likes of this game in "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" and "Obi Wan Kenobi" (hey, this brings my screen name full circle with video games!) and love them for the sheer challenge involving coordination and problem solving. "Batman Begins" isn't quite at the same level in terms of challenge. It often uses visual cues to tip you off, while the latter games leave you mostly looking for the objects by yourself. But it makes up for it out of the sheer fun! One of the lesser things about Batman that I love are his use of the grapple gun, and there are plenty of opportunities to use it. Also the whole "predator" feel of it is very empowering. The drama comes out high as well.

Perhaps it's both naive and cynical of me to love the game out of theme (like you haven't caught onto that yet) and ease of wielding power throughout the game, but I think everyone is entitled to choose an entertainment genre they can play the simpleton to.

Well, for starters, I'm not a big fan of Batman. My hero is Spider-Man! I also like Superman, thanks to Christopher Reeve and Tom Welling (Smallville). Every Batman game I have played has been a major disappointment. Bad graphics, bad gameplay. Not until this AWESOME game! WOW!! I've never had so much fun playing the Dark Knight. Great graphics, great gameplay, (takes getting used too.) The voice talents are of the movie's cast: Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Micheal Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Cilian Murphy as Dr. Crane, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, and so on and so forth. The levels aren't too hard to work you're way through, it just takes some patience. This game is pure stealth. Unlike other Super hero games: Spider-Man, Superman, etc. Where you fight you're way through areas, this game is stealth, but, yes, you can fight, DUH! He's a crimefighter for crying out loud. Good storyline. Kinda hard to follow along with comparing it to the movie, which was AWESOME!! Great game for gamers everywhere! Although, no tight donning man can EVER beat Spider-Man!

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.

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.
