Well, let's talk about that using the PC version. Even though the game is based on the series, the story is new and original. Batman is off to investigate Joker's death, but it all turns out to be a trap set by some of the evilest villains in Gotham city against the masked vigilante.
Now he has to fight them all while trying to stop the Joker's plan since he may or may not still be alive. Avoiding spoilers when talking about this game's plot is pretty much impossible since it's so simple. But as simple as it is, it is also pretty effective to play the role of a successor of the show. Divided into seven different chapters, Batman will find himself beating many grunts, solving puzzles, using different gadgets and even fighting some of the big villains.
The game had a mixed reception among critics and the audience and it did not sell very well either. But it was a strong step forward in finally creating an acceptable Batman video game. By the year , it would be unthinkable to say that some of the best looking games out there are Batman games, but now it is more or less a reality.
Since the Arkham Series started, comic book games were never the same. Now they are all under a big shadow of which only the PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game seems to be a little safe. It is completely unfair in any way to compare Batman: Vengeance against any of the games in the Arkham series for many reasons.
But it is interesting to think about it in this way: between this game and Arkham Asylum 8 years passed 7 if talking about the PC release , that's almost the same time that passed between Arkham Asylum and Arkham Knight. Not only is the evolution of the graphics astonishing, but so it is to see how far games have gone in so little time. Even though this year it marks 5 years since Arkham Knight, it still looks amazing even and has some of the best game design there is. The story, art, music, and gameplay are in the Arkham series are to this day pretty much the best in comic book games.
This game really wanted to be a movie of the TV series, sadly it is far from that. The best part of this game by far is that the voice acting is amazing, coming from the animated series cast And the story, while pretty simple, it's still fine for what the game is going for. The animated cinematics are also pretty cartoony. But overall this title ends up being an odd and glitchy experience that did not age well at all.
Graphics and Visuals: The game hides its bad graphics under the excuse of simulating the cartoon's aesthetic. Sure, the art direction is great in that it does look like the show, but the animations are simply mediocre. Lights and shadows are ok but could be much better, it needs more contrast. Gameplay: This depends a lot on which version you're playing.
None of them have good gameplay, but the PC version is by far the worst. Awkward controllers end up making you punch just about every elevator door to use them. Not to mention a silly running Batman trying to lock on an enemy while fighting off the air around him.
Sound: Finally a great aspect of the game. The soundtrack is pretty good, sound a lot like something you'd expect from the TV show and the cartoony sound effects are excellent. The voice acting is simply perfect and this really does help the otherwise awful game, a fun and entertaining experience.
Evidently it's all too easy to complain when a game has an unworkable camera control system, but that doesn't mean you should just take it away. Especially not if it means Batman running madly through rooms unable to see where things are because of a forced lack of forward vision like he does here.
What were they thinking? That said, it can be corrected. You can refocus the viewpoint behind you by switching into first-person mode and switching back out again. Which is hardly suitable in frenetic action situations. As for the first-person mode, it's adequately controllable. Except it's a mode that only encompasses half of your abilities and requires the hassle of switching back and forth between viewpoints to access the rest of your abilities. Batman Vengeance seems to consist mostly of a pulp of subpar bash-on-the-keys beat 'em up sequences and simple puzzles.
The plot adheres quite well to the generally excellent noirish Warner Brothers cartoon and its gothic anime stylings.
It's just the bland, sterile action inbetween that's the problem. David S. Goyer Writer. Jonathan Nolan Writer. Additional information Directors Christopher Nolan. Directors Christopher Nolan. Studio Warner Bros. Subtitles English CC. Released year Age rating Parental guidance Duration 2 h 32 min.
