For those of you in need of more Animated Batman

[ZorBrak]

If Justice League isn't enough animated Batman to fill your need, go buy or rent Batman Venegence, if you have a PS2, GCube, or Xbox, the game is somewhat flawed but it was certainly a fun Bat outing, I like to think of it as its own little DTV, the plot is pretty decent not Mask of the Phantasm type stuff but it works well, its likely the best Bat game ever made, and its more like an interactive episode than a game. its got a lot of of cut scenes and not to worry all the voice actors from the show including Conroy and Hammil are present.

How's the GBA version :confused:

I can offer a little bit on the GBA version...but not much. I received the Gamecube version for Christmas, but bought my seven year old son the GBA version as a gift.

The GBA version has nice graphics...especially the cutscenes and what-not. There is an incredible animated 3d pan of Gotham City in the opening graphics. Also there are plenty of "3d" still shots that seem to be taken directly from the PS2/Gamecube "big brother" version.

The gameplay itself has nice graphics but is more akin to the Super Nintendo "Batman and Robin" as it is a side-scroller, platform type of game rather than 3d.

I'll try to play it a little while to get into the "meat" of the game a little more. If no one else has more detailed info, I'll post an update on the game.

Hope this helps a little.

For what it's worth...I played through most of the first level of the GBA version of Batman:Vengeance.

It is very, very much like Batman games in the early days of Game Boy and 16-bit machines like Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. In other words, it is 2D sidescrolling game that consists of running, jumping from building A to building B, jumping or ducking a bad guy's bazooka shell, knocking the bad guy senseless, jumping to the next building and repeating and repeating and repeating. This may change later in the game but the 25 minutes I played consisted of alot of repetition.

On the plus side, the graphics are nice (the characters are nice, but a little too small) and everything moves fluidly. The backgrounds look nice as well.

As far as the title screens and overall art direction are concerned, it is very much in the same vein as the Gamecube/PS2 version. It even shares many of the opening titles and what-not.

For what the game is, it's probably a pretty decent game. However, anyone hoping for a version with gameplay and graphics close to the Gamecube or Ps2 version will probably be disappointed.

the game kicks butt

I love that game. I was over at a friend's house, and I literally kicked them off the system so I could play it (c'mon, they own the stinkin' thing, and they had the game rented out for 5 days, it was my only chance!), which I rarely do, but that is an awesome game. If you have a next-gen system, run out and buy that game. Don't bother renting it, you'll love the game anyway.
