Adventures of Batman & Robin
Not the Civilians!Genre: racing - arcade
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1995
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Plays exactly like Batman Returns, but with the platforming stages smartly removed. What's left is the fun-for-a-few-minutes driving stages with decent controls but terrible combat mechanics. The batarang machine gun is gone and replaced by another missile with even less ammo. All the warts of the first game, with worse combat.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
I knocked the Gameplay down a notch but will up the Level Design slightly compared to Batman Returns. There's more to do here. Barely. The first few stages have you weaving around civilian cars during rush hour. There's no combat here - just avoiding cars and trying to beat the time limit. The next stage is a boss battle against two vehicles who are seemingly invincible, sadly. I could not defeat either of them. Sigh
Theme Score: 5
Theme Notes:
Batman! Cutscenes straight out of the cartoon!

Art Style Notes:
As amazing as its predecessor.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Same critique - the music is great but doesn't match the settings. Give me Batman music, dang it!
Overall Score: 53
