IGN
It is not a game without faults, but its solid, if formulaic gameplay mechanics and beautiful cartoon style combine for an experience that is definitely recommended.

Scores big points for recreating the animated series in video game form with you in control of Batman.

Lovers of Batman (the cartoon or old-school) and proprietors of Nintendo will have a comfortable 10-hour romp.

The sound effects, music, and voiceovers are near perfect. All of the voiceovers in Batman Vengeance are provided by the same actors who perform them in the cartoon series.

The GameCube version slightly edges out its PS2 brother...It succeeds at what it set out to do--it puts you into the role of Batman.

If you loved the cartoon, you’ll go batty for Vengeance’s complete and polished packed of Caped Crusading. [Feb 2002, p.149]

Don't worry about what it isn't, just enjoy it for what it is – one of the few playable and, yep, fairly enjoyable superhero games out there.

The pace is quick, the visuals pleasant and the writing as tight as its television counterpart.

Batman has never looked so good and for once the developers have taken as much care with the gameplay and story as they have with the overall presentation.

Even with an outstanding soundtrack, great voice acting, some incredible, although obviously cartoonish cutscenes, the overall experience is not nearly as rewarding as it could have been.

While this linear formula is an old one, it works well thanks to the polished presentation and variety of gameplay modes.

Complete and flawless, the cinematics just make the entire game worthwhile. Watching Mr. Freeze deliver a blast from his freeze ray, I damn near feel out of my chair.

This is competent, if uninspired stuff that will no doubt please Bat-fans. [NGC]

For most players, this game will only slightly entertain. [Feb 2002, p.87]

A constant, an ever-glimmering paradox that may someday lead the land into a brightened future.

It's also short, and there is no reason why you would feel compelled to play it again. No secrets to unlock, no hidden characters.

Batman Vengeance had a hopeful start, but the controls, cameras, and crappy graphics make this bat look like a rat.

TERRIBLE controls, terrible levels. By far the worst title in my 40+ game Gamecube collection. Anyone who gives this game a rating of 7 or more is INSANE!
Tony B. gave it a9:

Come on gave it a 0:
TERRIBLE. Frustrating mess of a game. I'd literally have more fun cutting myself with a broken piece of a mirror, and then pouring mercury on my wound. And I'm not making it sound worse than it is.
D. C. gave it a 0:
Ups: Batman, the whole cartoon-show theme Downs: NO violence, having to handcuff badguys, ridiculous combat system, horrible camera and controls, stupid mushroom-jumping boredom, mediocre graphics, anticlimactic plot, HORRIBLE driving/piloting levels. I hate this game with a seething passion and hope the idiot responsible for it is burned at the stake.
Danny S. gave it an 8:
This is the best Marvel game I've seen.
Bruce C. gave it a 7:
Actually not too bad - but it doesn't stand out from the crowd of action/adventure games in any way.
