Batman for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Batman

Bad man


Genre: action - punch n kick

Publisher: Sunsoft

Year: 1991

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Slow movement. Is this a Robocop game? Punch or duck and kick. Or throw a batarang. Your attacks have to be timed perfectly. Enemies charge full speed into you and deal damage on contact.


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

The first level is completely flat. There are no platforms and no reason to even jump. Level two introduces platforms but has a barrier that's too tall to jump over. I can't figure out how to clear it. What the heck?!


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Batman! And yet I'm not sure what movie or comic this is based on.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Black. Black. And more black. Very small sprites make the background look even more devoid of interesting details. It's boring.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Sunsoft had some good audio staff back in the day didn't they? This isn't their best effort but it's quite good if you like synth rock


Overall Score: 26

Review ID: 768
