Batman

"Batman hunt`s again"

So,this is it! My first review of a computer game.Maybe there are some grammatical errors;please tolerate this,cause I`m from Austria and English is a foreign language for me.But in fact,you are not interested in me,you wannna read something about this great game:).Let`s get it on!

GAMEPLAY:8

You are Batman who is trying to save his home town Gotham City from Joker and his henchmen.Actual the game is a Jump and with some Shoot `em Up elements.Of course it is really funny to terminate all the bad guys!:)''Batman''is not really hard to beat,I solved it the third time.Later you even have the opportunity to fly through the air with the bat-jet!You can also pick up different weapons.But Batman at all,is not really smooth to controll.Often you jump into the abyss:).

STORY:9

We all know the great first Batman movie,don`t we???The story is completely the same like the movie,so the story is just awesome:).It goes like that:Gotham City is a sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker. But it isn't long before a dark, mysterious caped crusader, who goes by the name of BATMAN, is on their trail and trying to thwart their evil doings.You see,when I was younger,I really was into Batman and that stuff.I also know that people who do not like Batman,will say that the story is not good and hate the game/story.

GRAPHICS:6

I would say that the graphics are ok for the game boy standart.Batman is a little black point,his enemies are bigger black points:),but the sceneries look really cool,especially the library level and the chemical factory zone.

SOUND:6

The sound is also pretty cool,yeah,some songs rule by the way,but after a few rehearsals you get too sick of them.Alas,there are no original songs from the movie.

REPLAYABILITY:8

I play it again and again...It`s not so hard to beat and stressful,I don`t know how many times I have played it through:).

BUY/RENT:

I recommend you at least to try this game out!In my opinion,it`s one of the best and funniest game boy games ever made.Maybe,a friend of yours owns it>>>get it:)!!!!!!If you see it at your local flea market,the game is worth about five bucks.Uhm...10 $ is also okay,but do not pay more!

OVERALL:8/10
I would like to thank everyone of the Gamefaqs site,cause it rocks!!!
Finally,I hope you enjoyed my first (a little bit short) Review::)
