Faster than a speeding
Royal! More powerful than
Arnie's eyebrows! Able to leap
tall buildings in a single-seater
jump jet! ...Well, that's enough about
me, what of the man in the all-over wetly boot?
In this game of the film, T-shirt and
key-ring you're the sinister
vigilante himself. You're out on a
five-level mission to clean up
Gotham City - and you're not
carrying a broom. The
gameplay is a neat
combination of two styles -
the four-way scrolling
platform shoot-'em-up,
and the horizontally-scrolling driving game. Seeing as it's from the
programmers of
Robocop, the fact the platform
levels are very, um,
Robocoppy is unsurprising.
It's jolly good fun and quite
addictive, but there's a
problem. You've got an
energy system and there
are no top-up icons - so just
as you feel you're
getting
somewhere, you
run out of energy
and get sent back miles.
Aarghhh! The driving
sections are fairly playable
but (but! But!) you've got no
weapons, and it's rather
unrealistic to have the
mighty Batvehicles bashed
about by VW Beetles.
To sum up then, you get a
lot of game for your coins,
but the flaws bang down the
overall rating.
