    Besides the normal cat-like abilities, you can also initiate a feral, berserker mode that ups the damage of your attacks. Catwoman's whip allows you to destroy objects and lash your prey with an effortless grace that would make a Bangkok dominatrix burn with jealousy.
  2. Perhaps more than any previous movie game, Catwoman is actually challenging on a platforming level - sort of like "Prince of Persia" without the rewind. If you like a challenging platformer give Patience a chance. [Sept 2004, p.73]
  3. In short, playing this epic-sized monstrosity is similar to being scratched to death by a house cat...not only is it painful, it's also embarrassing. [Sept 2004, p.104]

    The problem with this control innovation is that the game often requires you to perform very particular movements (such as jump in the air, and grab a pole with your whip) with imprecise controls forcing you to playing the puzzles over and over until you are ready to rip your fur out.

    I think this game is awesome. Wonderful Graphics, Fantastic game play. Everyone is complaining about the controls. Well, I say they should just suck it up and actually learn them. After a while with them , it's very easy to pull off moves. This game is great. It's not absulutly breathtaking, but It's very fun while it last. Nobody is giving this game a chance. It's either comic book fan boys who're bashing this game, or people who despise the movie. And oh yeah, the movie was great too! The so called "professional" reviewers are doing the exact same thing. I really like this game. ANd anyone who is a fan of action/adventure games should pick this up. If you liked PoP then you should pick this up. If you like Halle Berry you should pick this up. It's a good game and peoplle are bashing it harder than they should. Expand
