| Better than the film | Okay, how do I sum up Batman & Robin the video game? Well to start off it is much better than the embarrassing 1997 film. You can play as any one of the the three heroes (Batman, Robin or Batgirl) and have access to all their weapons that were featured in the film as well as some new ones. You have a neigh-on GTA-style free-roaming city, which was quite a nice change at the time of it's release (1998) with, frankly incredible graphics for the old original Playstation. Another good thing is that a lot of the woeful gags from the film are not included in the game except for the depiction of Bane, who still is more a dumb panto henchman.
However the game does have it's faults. The camera is bad and you often find yourself falling off ledges to your death and, seeing as you can't save during a mission, it gets annoying having to do the same things again and again and again. Also the controls for your character are always a little slow therefore meaning that the most average of henchmen can easily take you out.
Still, if you see it and are a Batman fan, I would recommend you buy it because, aside it's faults, you do feel like your the caped crusader as in between crimes you have to collect clues and look at them, on the bat computer in the bat cave or various computers around the city, to work out where the next crime will take place.
Worth a look at least. | Written on 19 April 2007 |   |
