Feel free to comment. More movies to video games reviews coming soon.. suggestions and feedback welcome and encouraged.

Just a reminder, keep attacks and flames off of here. I will remove either without warning. Please see my FAQ video for more on my policies about such things. I try to run a clean place. Take it to private if you have a problem with me or others. Thanks again!!

Final score and break down of score can be found below:

They are on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best score possible:

Story Accuracy to the Movie: 6.5 out of 10
(Starts out pretty accurate to the film with the opening cut scenes filling us in well and the clown gang attacking Gotham with Batman having to stop it. But as the game goes further, the story from the film seems lost. Has the basis and general idea of the film but it becomes just a pure beat em up with less and less relation to the movie as it goes on. )

Music Soundtrack to the Movies 2.5 out of 10
(If music from the film was in this game, it was hard to tell. The music was constant beats that never really went anywhere and don't emulate the Elfman soundtrack too well. The SNES mimics the soundtrack quite well, this version seems generic and basic sounding music wise.)

Game Difficulty 5.5 out of 10
(The game is either overly easy or a little too hard at points. Boss battles can be tricky the first few times through, you have only one life to get through stage with and finding boxes become vital for survival. Must rely often on super move that drains energy in the process and the computer can gang up on you often. Not overly hard but not the cake walk it starts out as either.)

Overall Fun 6.5 out of 10
(It has its moments with being a pretty good beat em up on the NES. It comes off more as a poor mans version of the superior SNES game but holds its own at many points and isn't a bad way to spend a good hour or two beating up everything and anything as the dark knight himself. Won't be worth playing over and over again to get better endings though but for the experience it offers and all it is a fun play. Just could have been so much better even for an NES game it lacked a bit.)

Final Score : 5.75

He probably uses CamStudio. That's what I use to record the videos to my reviews.

Movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s were better than the stuff that came out now :(

What software do you use to record the gameplay? awesome review by the way man, as always

[starsoldier1]

Good review, I always hated fighting the bosses in this game too.

[TCgamerboy2002]

I also wanna say that Konami had always a lot of good games. This one isn't bad, but it doesn't really compare to the SNES port.
