Not great, but better than Vengeance
I hated Batman: Vengeance and I was a little bit weary about playing this game. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a fun little beat-em-up in the tradition of Streets of Rage and Double Dragon. However it is still quite a shallow game.
Each level looks exactly the same as you (as Batman, Robin, Batgirl or Nightwing) run around levels like the City Streets, the Sewers, Museums etc and beat-up generic looking villains. The graphics and levels look pretty but the scenery is rather flat and unengaging. Plus the upgrades with special moves are hardly that exciting though it is slightly fun using them to kick-in the heads of evil henchmen. But when you do it for the forty-millionth time it does get a bit boring.
And every level involves either defusing a bomb against 3-minute time limits and rescuing hostages against 3-minute time limits. Wow! But, like I said, it's still far better than Vengeance and the cut-scenes look lovely. And for the tiny amount of pennies that I paid for it I can hardly complain really.
