    With the summer film earning surprisingly good response from critics and fans alike, EA's Batman Begins for the PS2 faces the task of recreating the more exciting sequences while not completely ignoring the movie's somber tone. They have largely succeeded, emphasizing Batman's stealthy characteristics and cool moves, aside from the usual flash. There are a few action sequences, but the game maintains the feel of the film, while still offering players a decent challenge.... Read more

    Based on Christopher Nolan's film, the Batman Begins video game explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. Gamers will play as both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, Batman, hunting evil-doers from the shadows, using strength, intellect and an array of high tech gadgets to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city, including classic villains the Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul and Carmine Falcone.

  3. It's a new start for the hero, but it's also a very routine GBA title.

    There are some cool bits in Batman Begins , like having the ability to snag unaware enemies from the darkness for an easy kill, or being able to call up a flock of bats for protection and a nifty special attack. It's a solid action title with a really great look for the Game Boy Advance, even if the game design doesn't do a whole lot to impress with anything "new" for GBA gamers. It is challenging, however, since players are forced all the way back to a particular level... Read more

    Begins is the best Batman game on the GBA, but that really isn’t saying much considering how bad Vengeance and Rise of Sin Tzu were. There are some good ideas here, but the combat needs some touching up, the backgrounds blending is nothing short of ridiculous, and the lack of replay value give this game a basic score. If you are looking for a solid action fighting game, play Astro Boy instead. Read more

    There's no doubting that Vicarious Visions have made a challenging and enjoyable game and if you've already seen the movie and saw yourself as a bit of a crime fighter this game really does deliver where many before have failed. This is mostly due to the clever fusion between combat and stealth, which works incredibly well and makes the whole experience feel much less linear. The complete omission of the Batmobile however, will disappoint fans of the movie as a few... Read more
