"Riddle me this, riddle me that - who's afraid of the big bad
bat?" Once again, masochistic masters of criminal bent are rampaging 'round Gotham
City. This time, it's the animated antics of the rapscallious Riddler with the help of the
horrible Two-Face that threatens the peace of Gotham. It's up to the compound crafts of
the Dyanamic Duo to decidedly deuce this troublesome twosome. Sorry, I couldn't resist -
I'm a fan of the original TV series. Inspired by the mediocre in-your-face live-action
movie starring Val Kilmer, Chris McDonnell, Nicole Kidman, Jim Carrey, and Tommy Lee
Jones; itself based on the original characters created by Bob Kane for DC Comics. |
| Impressions: |
Far from being the standard movie tie-in, this game is actually a
commendable effort. It's no Mortal Kombat, and your character choices are
limited to just Batman and Robin, but it does have a host of fighting moves and fairly
decent enemies. If only the levels weren't so repetetive, then this might have been a
must-buy. As it is, it's a game that all fans of the Dark Knight will love. (Game Guides
