Batman: Vengeance

All I can say about this batman game is that it is awesome and that I can never get enough of it. The reasons what make this game so awesome is that the gameplay is awesome because it has lots of action in it the storyline is really good the computer generation is good The way they look in the game is really good because they looked just like what they looked like in the TV show. The levels are really good and they are really fun they can get a bit treakier as you get hire up in the levels but that just makes it more fun to play. Also the voice over actors are really good such as Kevin Conroy as Batman, Tara Strong as Batgirl, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred, Bob Hastings as Commissioner Jim Gordon. The villains are really good such as Mark Hamill as The Joker, Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn, Michael Ansara as Mr. Freeze, Diane Pershing as Poison Ivy. So I am sure that you will not be disappointed with Batman Vengeance because it is an awesome batman video game. So make sure that you rent or buy Batman Vengeance because it is just so great.

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

Well, it was good for 2001.But today, make way for Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and the upcoming Arkham Origins. But, we are not here to talk about that, oh no. We are here to talk about this pretty solid, fun, yet irritating game, straight from the imagination of Bruce Timm and the outstanding Warner Bros crew that created Batman: The Animated Series. This video game is based upon these series and it was pretty well adapted on PC. We got the same imaginary world of Bruce Timm, even the same voice actors, Kevin Conroy (Batman), Mark Hammil (Joker), Arleen Sorkin (Harley Quinn), Efrem Zimbalist Jr. (Alfred), Michael Ansara (Freeze) and others… the story idea is pretty much usual, as many of the animated episodes that we saw. You are Batman and you feel pretty much like him during game play, you have a set of gadgets at your disposal as well as fighting skills. You can beat the crap out of your opponent and you can subdue him with bat-cuffs. The game is pretty much enjoyable, but, maybe that's just me, there were hard moments in the game that drives you mad. I never finished this game, because there were very hard moments! Especially with your vehicles. Oh, yeah, you can ride a Bat-wing and Batmobile, but it's too freaking' hard! The controls and camera angles are horrible. Real pain in the neck. So, you can take the console or your PC, and enjoy yourself, if you are a fan of Batman, or just Bruce Timm's Batman.

Man alive, is this game bad or what? The graphics are way below par, even if it were on a playstation 1, never mind a Gamecube. The gameplay is pathetic and the camera movements disorientating. What a worthless game!

I totally love Warner's Batman animation and it's cool that they do all the games in this way. Batman: Vengeance could well have turned out great as they got off to a good start by keeping all the Gothic visuals and voice actors but they seriously stumbled when it came to playability and graphics. The result is a boring game that looks incredibly cheap and is no fun to play whatsoever. I really must stress how bad the graphics are. Don't let the color schemes fool you. I've seen better stuff on a Commodore 64.

Batman: Vengeance on Playstation 2 is a beautifully dark, computer animated trip in the unparalleled world of Timm and Dini's Animated Batman. The story is superior to that of nearly every movie that I've ever seen. The voice-acting is top-notch just as it was it the Batman: The Animated Series because they have all the original voice actors! Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Diane Pershing, Michael Ansara, Efrem Zimbalist, and Bob Hasting all return for perhaps the final stand for the Animated Batman saga.

This is my favorite fighting game ever and definitely the best Batman game. At 60 fps, you can see the Playstation 2 at its best. Also, the original music is good enough to warrant a soundtrack. Batman: Vengeance is a dream come true for all fans of Batman The Animated Series!

Batman: Vengeance was one of the very first PS2 games I ever got. And though it does hold a special place in my heart, as a critic I'm more aware that while the game is good my diet for video games has come to understand, appreciate and demand far more than what Vengeance could have offered me at the time. That's not to say anything against the game though; the product itself is fun to play, getting t kick ass as Batman is immensely satisfying: though it's somewhat sloppy because of the sometimes rigid controls that don't really offer you complete flexibility while in play. It's not entirely surprising because this historical nugget paved the way for the likes of the Batman: Arkham games and that's saying something special about it. And the voice-cast of course reprises the actors in their respective rolls: Kevin Conroy's Bats, Mark Hamill's Joker, Arleen Sorkin's Harley, Michael Ansara's Freeze, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.'s Alfred: everyone's at the top of their game delivering a script that may have made for some truly compelling Batman: Animated Series episodes.

All said and done, this game's worth it if you're a Bat-fan and/or gamer into the history of the medium and are into seeing how franchises have evolved over the generations.
