    There's just no way around it - Batman: Dark Tomorrow simply failed on the core aspect of gameplay design.

    Nothing more than a miserable failure that's so bad, it's funny. Just like your most favorite, cheese-laden late night horror flick, there are moments in this lackluster sissy of an action-adventure that you'll literally bust a gut laughing at.

    It's ultimately dragged down by erratic control, sloppy design, and wildly jarring changes in camera angle. [June 2003, p.82]

    A poor excuse for a Tenchu-style fighter, thinly veiled as a story-driven stealth action game a la Metal Gear that's so laughably bad it actually makes "Batman: Vengeance" look like the best superhero action game ever created.

    The actual experience of playing Batman: Dark Tomorrow is so awful that avoiding the game altogether is the best course of action.

    A crime against comic book licenses. Flawed from top to bottom, from beginning to end... This is a great example of "what not to do."

    A mind-numbing combination of awkward combat, mediocre visuals, and a camera that wouldn't be out of place in a Greco-Roman torture chamber, Dark Tomorrow fails on nearly every level imaginable. [June 2003, p.56]

I have to say, people have been very open about putting down this game. But I support all of those comments because the game really does suck. Finally they should have never released a game like this it probably took a couple of minutes to put together and the makers were probably very hungry for money.… Expand

    I'm afraid to say this game is a dreadful disappointment. I had been really looking forward to it, prior to its release. Even terrible I'm afraid to say this game is a dreadful disappointment. I had been really looking forward to it, prior to its release. Even terrible reviews could not put me off buying a copy of Batman: Dark Tomorrow. I wish they had. Thankfully, I bought it from a shop with a good returns policy. I cannot emphasise enough how terrible this game is. If you want a third-person Batman game, Vengeance is probably the best so far. Steer clear of Dark Tomorrow at all costs.… Expand
