    A case where the sum is greater than the parts. If you can get past the repetitive gameplay you may actually find a game with a great personality.

    Only devout Batman fans and action gamers looking for a quick fix will find much appeal in Batman: Rise of the Sin Tzu.

    An exercise in precision attacks that are done easily enough, that is if your hands don't cramp up from all the button pushing.

    By the end of the first level, the player will have encountered every type of objective that the game has to offer, aside from the afore-mentioned "guard the thing" scenario. This depressing formula repeats itself throughout the game, with the "levels" distinguishing themselves solely through window-dressing and increasingly difficult enemies.

    There are a couple of groups of people who will love this game. 1) Younger kids for whom button mashing does not detract from game play. My 6 year old nephew loves it. 2) Fans of the animated series, who will love the look of the heroes and the levels. Very true to the whole Dini feel. The graphics are suprising good for a franchise game. This is not one of those "let's make a comic book video game that has poor game play and poor graphics'. (SPAWN! SPAWN!) 3) People who play 2 player versions of games. There are few non sports games that support a quality 2 player version. (Halo springs to mind) The two player is easy, mindless and a complete blast. … Expand
