My eyes, my eyes!!!

Oh where to begin with the awfulness of this game.

The sad thing is that it promises so much with its colorful cover design, and initially delivers nice-looking sprites in the first few seconds of gameplay. But then you kill a bad guy for the first time and you just end up going 'What? Why did the bad disappear into a pink blob?'

No kidding, Batman himself even meets the same end when you lose a life. And what's with the pink armband and crappy weapons coming out of it?

The first level is a LOT like the final stage of the Batman Movie video game from 1989. I don't mind clichés in platform games (moving floors, bottomless pits etc) but this is just going through the tired, chunky motions.

There were a few good Batman games made for the Mega Drive/Genesis. This isn't one of them.
