The Adventures of Batman & Robin

"This is truly a great game."

The Adventures of Batman and Robin is truly a great game. This was my first Genesis game, I was 7 when I got it for my birthday. I did learn that it was hard, but practice makes perfect. I'm currently writing a full FAQ/ Walkthrough for it, because apperantly some people need it. To start off by saying this game is based off the animated series, and I really like the animated series, thats probaly why I got it.

Concept: It's the same breaking out of Arkham scenario, but with the Joker and Mad Hatter. I've seen this one a lot some it'll lose a point. But the opening scene was cool, and was straight from the animated series. The part when the siren was going wild while Joker, Frezze, Mad Hatter and Two Face broke out of the Asylum was classic a memorable. Mr. Freezze also plans to give Gotham City a ''perminent winter'' that's cheesy but makes sense. We didn't see anything in this game that was too wild or not like the animated series. Yep folks, This game is the animated series. It features characters from the animated series as well, without adding corky bosses. I'll rate the concept a 9/10.

Animated Character Models: The characters in this game have as much detail as the Super Nintendo version, which was good to see. But at least you can still identify who the characters are. I think in the Super Nintendo version they have batman with blue shades in his costume, in the Genesis version they black and grey shades which is much better. Robin doesn't look bad, he needs a lottle work on his mouth but he looks great. Harley Quinn is also surprisenly in this game. (She's funnier than ever!) This game has more features, than the Super Nintendo version that's why I think it's better. I'll rate the character models a 10/10.

Gameplay: The gameplay is exciting, breathtaking at each feature. It's never a dull moment, that's how it's supposed to be. As for the diffuculty, I've beaten the game before, you just need to practice at it. What I think probaly serates the Nintendo and Genesis version of the game is the gameplay. I told my friend that the Super Nintendo version might be better, but I was wrong the Super Nintendo version is dull. This game is loud,fun, and replay value is off the charts. It's a side scroller batarang shooter. The gameplay is really good, I'll rate it a 10/10.

Graphics And Sound: Mover over Vectorman! This gam's graphics are honestly the best I've seen for Genesis. It has 3-D backgrounds and 2-D characters, unlike some games they match perfectly. The backgrounds are creative it makes Gotham look as it's supposed to look. As for the sound...it's NOT TECHNO! Some people don't know what techno music is! The sound is plain old music that's really upbeat and fun! I'll rate the graphics a 10/10 and the sound a 9/10

Overall: A great game and must try!
