Critic Reviews

50 Happy Puppy
Fans of the cartoon obviously aren't sick of the Batman premise, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to tolerate this game.
20 CNET Gamecenter
Even if you're a huge fan of the Batman cartoons or comic books, steer clear of this disaster of an action game.
20 IGN
Everything about the product is shoddily executed, from its formulaic and outdated gameplay mechanics to its horribly dusty graphic look.
0 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Even Batman himself can't resurrect the extinct gameplay this game features. Dreadful stuff indeed.
0 Game Revolution
To add insult to injury, when Batman gets hurt, his animation is to fall over like a domino. Here you've got a fully equipped destroyer of crime, and he takes punches like an inflatable 'punch-em' clown. This speaks pages for how poorly the rest of the animation fares.
