available on here somehow someway, Steven SPielberg I freaking love you for making THE DIFFRENCE in my life with this film. fr/2016/08/reviewing-batman-returns-computer-game.Making A.I. Without the guide, it only takes a little longer.Īnother long review on the DC in 80s blog: blogspot.

The game basically ignores the movie's plot, sends you on a hunt for ridiculous objects, and lacks all the atmosphere that makes the movie a cult classic.īe warned: once you have the walkthrough, the game takes less than an hour to complete. Is it worth it? Only for fans of the Bat, and perhaps for those new to the adventure genre. In the final analysis, Batman Returns is just an average adventure that could have been so much more, given the powerful license. The puzzles are limited to scanning the various objects on the evidence monitor to advance the plot, provided, of course, that you are there at the right time when they appear. This adds a level of complexity, but unfairly to the player. Often, the time of their appearance is a mystery with no clue, meaning you'll have to retrace your steps to various locations over and over again until someone or something shows up. To make matters worse, certain objects and people will appear in certain locations only during certain times of the virtual 'day'. The battles aren't very interactive, as Batman seems to win easily no matter what weapon he chooses, though they are fun to watch. While you can control Batman as he fights his enemies, that control is limited to selecting weapons and setting the 'ferocity' of Batman's attack. If you want to understand the plot, watching the movie is a prerequisite to playing, as the game has plot holes big enough to drive the Batmobile, and never explains why you, as Batman, are doing what you're doing. The plot loosely (rather, very loosely) follows that of the 1992 film Batman Returns, starring Michael Keaton. Batman Returns is a very disappointing adaptation of the blockbuster movie license, a hodgepodge of elements from the adventure, action and role-playing genres, the whole of which is much less than the sum of its parts.
