While the gameplay could still use some refinement and focus, the overall Vengeance adventure is an engaging and entertaining one.

It's a good game that truly engrosses the player into the role of Batman while demonstrating simple, but well-designed gameplay mechanics.

This game looks marvelous. Playing it honestly feels like you are in an interactive episode of the cartoon.

Cinematic presentation, chilling Gotham City atmosphere, a good comic book story, and decent gameplay make this game stand out above the rest of the licensed games on their way this year.

While there's nothing here that would warrant picking up this version if you already own the PlayStation 2 or GameCube editions, the Xbox version slightly edges out its brothers.

The 3D visual and audio style is topnotch, and the cinemas are a blast—even if some camera views are awkward and some areas are a little too dark and muddy.

If you can look past its denounceable play control then you will find a smart, stylish, Batman experience that is, at its foundation, true to its namesake.

If you’re looking for something to remind you why you spent £300 on a brand-new console, stay away.

With the power that the XBox seems to be able to produce in the visual sense, you'll find that most of what is here is completely clean of the jagged edges, but it still fails to keep up in the detailing department!

Xbox Nation Magazine
The difficulty is amped up in the latter stages by a maddening focus on precision moves and platform jumps. [Spring 2002, p.92]
