In Batman: Vengeance, the gritty underworld of Gotham ignites as
Batman becomes the target of a nerve-rattling conspiracy. After
the Joker plummets to his death in an attempt to kill Batman,
Gotham's criminals quickly escalate their schemes to gain power.
Batman discovers subtle links in these seemingly unrelated
crimes, but is forced undercover after being framed for an attack
on Commissioner Gordon. Hunted by the , the Dark Knight
must pinpoint the unseen enemy weaving this sinister web before
Gotham City falls to a fiery demise.
Batman: Vengeance introduces the most versatile 3-D Batman game
yet, with more than 500 animated movements, special fighting
moves, and a multifunctional cape with its own AI. For the first
time, players can journey through a fully rendered 3-D Gotham
City with Batman's sleek weapons and devices at their fingertips,
including the BatGrapple, Bat, Batarang, BatLauncher, flash
bombs, and more. There is a huge array of gameplay modes:
exploring, fighting, first-person shooter, driving, flying,
freefall, and puzzles.
The Gotham City environment, reconstructed in full 3-D, contains
19 playable s, including the rooftops, Gotham Industrial
Research, and the Batcave. There are also more than 40 minutes of
cinematics featuring the original voice cast of TV's The New
Batman Adventures. The game's original story line was
collaboratively written by Warner Bros. and DC Comics from the
files of The New Batman Adventures. The Dolby 5.1 surround sound
soundtrack features original music inspired by the TV series.

Review
------
There have been more lame Batman games created in the last
decade than there are tights-wearing felons in Gotham City, but
thankfully Batman: Vengeance hits the Bat-target with the golden
Batarang. Because the game is based on The New Batman Adventures
(an animated series), the visuals are 3-D versions of the
cartoon's very stylized designs. This can sometimes cause the
backdrops to be rather lacking in detail, but generally it's an
interesting and unusual look.
The gameplay is similar to Soul Reaver, with plenty of
Batgadgets to play with, and even a few Metal Gear-esque elements
sneaking around. There's also an excellent 3-D combat system and
a bunch of driving and puzzle subgames of varying quality. A few
obvious flaws do get under your tights, such as the oversensitive
controls, the intrusive loading times, and the often
frustratingly obscure level designs, but this is easily the best
Batgame yet. --David Jenkins
