Batman! He's the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, and easily one of the greatest superheroes of the DC comic universe. This highly skilled vigilante has been protecting the city of Gotham for decades, fighting to honor the memories of his murdered parents and honing his crime-fighting abilities to absolute perfection. He's faced down psychos, saved the world, and has gone toe to toe with the Man of Steel on more than a few occasions. Yes, Batman truly is the greatest superhero of our time…at least in the cartoons, movies and comic books. Video games are another story. While Batman may the personification of hardcore, the various video games in his namesake don't do him much justice. The Dark Knight has been plagued with crappy titles for years now, treating fans to ill-manufactured slop with the Batman logo printed on top. Sadly, Batman Forever reminds us of why they are so bad. It's a brand new day in Gotham. Batman has recently ridden the city of both the Penguin and Catwoman, allowing the citizens to go about their daily lives once more. That is, until there's a massive breach of security at Arkham Asylum. Two-Face, a criminal mastermind with a split personality, has broken out of the high security prison. He's leading a bunch of other crazy thugs on a rampage that could annihilate anything good and decent still remaining in the city. But while Two-Face's doubly dangerous style of crime is devastating enough, another villain has emerged from the shadowy depths to wreak his own havoc on the unsuspecting urbanites. The Riddler uses his mind to befuddle his victims, leaving drooling zombies in his wake. With the safety and sanctity of Gotham hanging in the balance yet again, it's up to Batman and Robin to save the day. Without a moment to spare, the two heroes suit up to battle their new foes. They arrive at the scene only to be confronted with a small army of armed lunatics just waiting to get a piece of the Dynamic Duo. Of course, these guys don't know what they're in for. Batman is known throughout the world for not only his technical genius in just about every field, but he's also a master of multiple forms of combat. And while Robin in nothing more than the young sidekick, he has all the skills he needs to take on just about anyone. Yet despite their supposedly vast mastery of the martial arts, these two vigilantes fight like a couple of drunken bar patrons. Only punches, kicks, and uppercuts make up their not-so classy moves. Luckily, our heroes come armed and dangerous with some weapons, like Batarang projectiles and Grappling Hooks. Too bad they can only carry a few weapons at a time, severely hurting their chances of their crusade's success.Read full review
First of all let me just say that Batman fans don't get much more hardcore than I am. I have been a Batman fan since before I could walk. But in all seriousness, I had to own this game just to be able to say that I own it. The platform is just a mortal kombat ripoff changed into a side-scroller. The controls are awkward, and it took me forever to get used to them. I only beat it once, and have barely played it since. If you go to Cinemassacre.com, or just google the angry video game nerds review of the Batman games, you'll understand what I'm saying. I knew about all the hap-hazardness of this game before he came out with his review, but he explains it so well, you know exactly what the game is like. I don't really recommend this game for people who are just curious. I recommend it for Batman fans only.Read full review

Great retro game for any Batman fan on Sega Genesis

excellent game but controls are a bit difficult. The game is based mainly on combos to use equipment. If you can't do the combos, you're not gonna get very far. Considering the 16 bit nature of the game, the graphics are pretty good. I love it cause I did as a kid, now its just a lot easier to get through.
