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.
-
netjakLovers 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.
-
Nintendo PowerIf 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.
-
This is competent, if uninspired stuff that will no doubt please Bat-fans. [NGC]
-
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.
-
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.
-
Game InformerFor 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.
