    One of the few good Batman games outside of the Arkham games. Solid gameplay with great graphics and voice acting.

    The controls are a little loose for my taste, but the game is a solid actioner with some nice graphics and good performances by the original film actors. It's not going to win any awards, but it's fun and much better than the typical movie cash-in.

    I'm playing this game right now,and so far it looks alright.the combat is real good,the graphics and the voiceacting are great.the only thing bad about this game is that there is way too much swinging on pipes,and sneaking around than there is action.

    Ecellent graphics and voice acting from the stars of the movie. Using fear to intimidate enemies isn't a gimmick. It works in this game and works well. It can save Batman's life. The game as well as Batman is dark and forboding. The new Batman costume is the best ever. Superb game.

    This is a great game for fans of the movie and general Bat-man fans.

    most of the game revolves around stealth and creeping around and then literally putting the fear into the crooks which makes it easier to defeat them.

    there is also a bat-mobile level which is great.

    The game has great graphics and controls.

    the only problem that it might be too easy for hardcore gamers.

    This game still holds up as far as graphics goes. Very fun to play. It's nice to hear all the actors from the movies reprise their role in voice acting.

    I played this game so much as a kid. I think it’s still a really solid game. Arkham games are much better by comparison but this game definitely inspired those games. It’s worth playing if you still have an Xbox or PS2. Most of the actors in the movie did the voices for their characters as well. Some good performances, some not so good. But I appreciate that they’re there. It makes youI played this game so much as a kid. I think it’s still a really solid game.

It makes you feel even more connected to the movie characters imo. Like Tobey Maguire for the Spider-Man games. Expand

    In the end or in the beginning if you like, Batman Begins is a good game, just falling short of great due to the linearity.
  2. EA finally does some justice to the Batman license with this decent if not unspectacular action title that ends up far too linear and repetitive for its own good.
  3. 60
    Requiring only five to seven hours to finish, and having virtually no replay value, only the most dedicated fans should own Batman Begins.
