    Weak effort. Once again, EA lures you with some flashy graphics only to deliver disappointing gameplay. Arghhh.

    I found the game extremely lame. Im playing on hard level and have found it simple. That combined with the fact that the movement is too clunky (we want smooth fighting action like Spiderman Ultimate, guys!), you can't skip through tedious animated movie bits, limited gameplay (why can't we throw the batterang at enemies?? errgh!), and maybe make the people a little harder to I found the game extremely lame.

So lame, Im glad I borrowed this game from a friend and didn't waste my cash.… Expand

EA games is going down in flames with their mmovie to game adaptations, they should stick to sport games and not waste our F****NG time.… Expand

    The graphics in the game are really good and the lighting effects are solid...I only wish I could say that about the story. BB was too short, too choppy, and not at all fun. Everything I expect from EA. Cool to look at but boring to play.

    Character models and lighting is nice the gameplay the controls are utterly terrible this game is not fun in any means. There is glitches and bugs that are unforgiving to the gameplay.

    As a whole, the game was a little short (six hours), but it's still a pretty fun ride despite the fact that it is not the definitive Batman game we've been waiting for. This game ain't the greatest in terms of freedom and linearity, but I'll still take it over "Spider-Man 2." No doubt.

    Batman Begins isn't just a good game, it's two great games that play great together. When you’re the caped crusader, it's an action game in the mold of "Splinter Cell"... Then, when you’re driving the Batmobile, the game morphs into "Burnout," with you knocking cars off the road as you careen through traffic.

    Crates and barrels aside, Batman Begins is generally a well-produced game. Its visuals are often striking, and are distinct in style from those of the film.
