The game is largely based on the movie. Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City after several years of disappearance and training in the Himalayas with the League of Shadows. Donning the cowl and cape of Batman, Bruce Wayne discovers secrets of unusual powdered toxic shipments at the docks which leads all the way up to the scheming Dr. Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow. Of course, there is more to it than Bruce/Batman realizes...... Written by commanderblue
For the record, I fall under the "casual gamer" category and have played a total of seven games on the current run of consoles (sans X-Box 360). I've played the likes of this game in "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" and "Obi Wan Kenobi" (hey, this brings my screen name full circle with video games!) and love them for the sheer challenge involving coordination and problem solving. "Batman Begins" isn't quite at the same level in terms of challenge. It often uses visual cues to tip you off, while the latter games leave you mostly looking for the objects by yourself. But it makes up for it out of the sheer fun! One of the lesser things about Batman that I love are his use of the grapple gun, and there are plenty of opportunities to use it. Also the whole "predator" feel of it is very empowering. The drama comes out high as well.
Perhaps it's both naive and cynical of me to love the game out of theme (like you haven't caught onto that yet) and ease of wielding power throughout the game, but I think everyone is entitled to choose an entertainment genre they can play the simpleton to.
