    If you're looking to experience the world of the caped crusader (and walk a mile in his boots), you will surely have bat-barrels of fun with this title. Those gamers interested in more depth of gameplay other than punch, jump, destroy and rescue should look elsewhere.

    Main problem: you can only fire your Batgrapple at specific points...We wanted the freedom of Tenchu and all we received was a hook through the nose with a finger pulling us the right way.

    In the end, BV succeeds at what it set out to do--it puts you into the role of Batman. Every major aspect of the character is presented in some way in the game...it is one of those incredibly rare birds known as a good licensed game.

    It is far from perfect, but that being said, this game is still the best Batman game ever made for any system, and I have played them all!

    These intriguing elements can only offset, and not make up for, the often frustrating gameplay. [Dec 2001, p.100]

    Its presentation and story make it respectable, nonetheless. [Dec 2001, p.162]

    The only time you can use the Bat-grapple is when you get an onscreen signal to look for a huge, out of place Bat-insignia perched on the corner of some overhead location. Oh, I guess I'm supposed use my Bat-grapple here. Sheesh!

With an original story line, great action, it's a good consideration for Batman fans. Bads: controls are difficult at times, ecspecially in fine movements and camera angles are difficult to deal with.

    This is one of the games that help give Batman the bad reputation in the video game world, first of all it's to dark to see anything going onThis is one of the games that help give Batman the bad reputation in the video game world, first of all it's to dark to see anything going on screen, and the controls are bad, and the story doesn't keep you hooked either, it's definitely one of Batman's worst games.… Expand

    I think this game isn't that good. i think it's OKAY but things are WAY too dark too see, The controles are HORIBLE, it is alittle cartoonishI think this game isn't that good. i think it's OKAY but things are WAY too dark too see, The controles are HORIBLE, it is alittle cartoonish for a teen videogame, it is boring, you need to use the hook shot at surtin' parts, and you need to hand cuf them when their down. This is the worst batman game in HISTORY!!… Expand
