Batman Forever

"Terrible... just plain terrible."

Batman Forever is a cheap video game based off of the mediocre film.I usually like Batman games no matter what platform,company,or any of the remaining.But man is this game a clunker! The game starts out like all dumb Batman films do. Two-face has broken out of Arkham Asylum and broken all out the other inmates too.

Story: The story was okay, it's just what I had expected though. The reason the story really fell through in my review is because...of how freaking predictable whole thing was! Man, does this story need some polishing. Also, what the heck happened to Alfred? You get the whole stupid story from a lifeless bat computer. Honestly, I'm really nice to all games, but this story is just plain old laziness. So I rate it a 0/10.

Graphics: For a Sega game, these graphics were pretty impressive. But... I need some detail folks! Batman and Robin's faces looked ridiculous! I mean all the gadgets, bad guys, and surrounding were too, the same. Never the less this game does feature sort of cool graphics... if you pay no attention to the blank faces. Since this the only part of the game that has some real worth to it... I rate the graphics 6/10.

Sound: Oh man, turn down your volume. I rather hear Hank the cowdog's real voice than this. The music is utterly disturbing. I mean I know that Batman supposed to be all grim and gritty, but dang! I'd seriously take note on the sound I mean it's not worth it. So I rate the sound 2/10

Gameplay: Whoa... I never thought a game could go this low!
This game can get really annoying with the Riddler's riddles popping out all the time. The action's just a bunch of mindless punching and kicking. (But some people like that in a game, so to all those people, ''No offense.'') Another thing that gets irratating about this ''game'' (If you even want to call it that.) is that you hurt can your partner! Batman and Robin would truly never do that to each other! So I rate the gameplay a 1/10.

Replay Value: Uh... low I guess. You won't even want to beat it.

Overall: I try to stick up for under dog, mediocre games like this... but in this game, their's nothing' for me to stick up for. Even though I didn't like this game very much. There are still some decent Batman games out. I'd suggest new titles like Batman Vengeance,( It's a great game on GBA.) I will now finish with a closing... don't get this game!
