It basically tried to be Arkham Knight. Commendable for the ambition, but it just couldn't. It wasn't that the era didn't have the _tech_ it was that it didn't have the knowledge. If you went back in time and taught them modern control systems and balancing it would have revolutionized gaming.

I've always wondered how many of these games could get unofficial patches in emulation. Like, Persona 3 FES has a gameshark code patch to give you P4 party control. We need to make doing this with console games in emulation more of a thing.

[@greenhowie]

Tank controls are a spatial perception thing, some people just can't deal with them because you need to fit your brain into the right shape, kinda like lucid dreaming honestly.

[@fredherbert7920]

I love how Batman dies in this. He just sort of T-poses and pathetically falls face-first. It's comedy cold. In all fairness, this game seems to have a lot going for it with the big open world, driving, multiple playable characters. Things probably would have worked out better if this had come out on the PS2 or Xbox.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

This game came out a year before the Dreamcast. Imagine Shenmue but with Batman.

[@jimhawkens7414]

Honestly I love batman and Robin (the movie). If you view it as a Action comedy like the Adam west show instead of viewing it as a failed action drama. It's a pretty fun movie Arnold as Mr freeze with the puns was amazing. That scene when he pulls out the fcking credit card lmao

[@PosthumanHeresy]

My problem with it is that they tried to mix that with the drama. They did BTAS Freeze (literally, Paul Dini created that entire story and character for BTAS). They wasted Bane, who shouldn't have been there. Pam was good. They did a weird version of Babs because they just never used Gordon as a real character in the movies. Alfred's disease was not a good plot for the movie. Doing the depressing dark Freeze in a comedy didn't work at all. Sure, he's fun... until you remember the backstory and stuff. Imagine a movie that was just a proper adaption of Heart of Ice.

[@ChaseSeaborne]

That’s exactly how I feel about it. I just view it as it’s own thing and enjoy it much more as a result.

[@Xehanort10]

@@PosthumanHeresy They tried to combine the tragic animated Freeze with the generic cold themed villain he was in comics and the 60's show before that. But a guy who'll die if he's out of his suit and has a terminally ill wife wouldn't be making snow and ice jokes so it didn't work.

[@ToonGal12]

You guys deserve a medal for playing this as long as you did. Because of all the people I've seen try to tackle this game, I've never seen anyone get past the first level in the museum. (I don't blame you guys for getting confused on the controls. This was back in the day when you had to consult the game manual to learn the buttons, since disk space was a luxury back then.) But the real tragedy of all this is that the game IS super accurate to the look of the movie and gets a lot of details right. And it's super ambitious with having detective mode vs. combat mode; an open world map; multiple characters to choose from with different combat styles; and real time, time-sensitive missions. With the right people behind it and a bit more polish, this could've become the Arkham Knight of its day. But unfortunately, whether it was because of lack of technical skill, lack of time, lack of money, or some combo of the three, we wound up with......THIS instead.

I had this game when I was a kid. It looked awesome back in the day. I actually really like the aesthetics of low poly gotham to this day. The idea of an open world Batman game was incredible for a PS1 tie in title. I never got pass the first two enemies in the museum because the controls are awful... and because I was scared to death of them. Anyone who played this game in their childhood would agree this game felt pretty scary.

I know. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was terrified to go into the museum as a child. It wouldn't have been so bad if the controls were better. That said, this game didn't really vibe with the film since the film was more funny and comedic than menacing.
