    Batman: The Brave and the Bold oozes personality, bringing a lot of the cartoon show's wit and humor to the portable system.

    Batman: The Brave and the Bold is really funny and challenging. There are some challenges and some boss fights combined with 2D-jump'n'run action. You'll fight against some bad guys with Batman and some of his friends like Green Arrow, Red Tornado and many more.

    The game's lower level of difficulty and rather short main quest might turn off some gamers looking for a bit more meat on the bone, but for those who just want a fun platforming ride with plenty of action and some amazing boss fights, look no further than this rather entertaining DS adventure.

    Far from perfect, Batman: The Brave and the Bold - The Videogame for DS still shines and has its value.

    It's a short game that can be completely finished in a few hours, but the bundles of modes and extras will keep you coming back for more.

    Batman's latest adventure is a good, but short yarn on DS. It would have been nice to see more variety in the levels and to have the guest characters used in more interesting ways, but it's a solid game nonetheless.

    Platforming veterans will find the game entirely too easy but as an entry point for younger gamers looking to start playing platformers, or learning about Batman, it's a good, if entirely too brief start.

    Stylish visuals and exciting action make The Brave and the Bold a very good re-creation of the animated series.

    A refreshingly bright and breezy take on the Batman universe that is well worth investigating, but it won't take long to long to bat grapple hook your way through.

    Batman: The Brave and the Bold misses a few beats, but the overall composition is wholly loveable. Unfortunately, it's also obscenely short.

    Wayforward Technologies has managed to successfully craft a fine one-player character-switching platform adventure that proves to be fun for all; not only fans of the cartoon show, but fans of the genre in general.

    An old style beat'em up, with nice graphics and interesting cooperative mechanics.

    Overall, Batman: The Brave and the Bold is a little too short and simplistic to guarantee any mass appeal, but I got a kick out of its family-friendly approach to Batman and his DC brethren.

The ability to play with guest heroes adds a unique touch to each level and makes the most mundane of maps breathtaking. This game also hold a huge amount of post-story game play that adds many more challenges and secret collectibles hidden throughout the game. Of course even the best of games have flaws, including this one, unfortunately this masterpiece fall on the shorter length of games only having a small amount of levels. But this flaw is quickly forgotten when you notice the attention to detail splattered all around the game. Overall if you can you should definitely experience this batman game.… Full Review »
