Batman Returns

This action/beat-em-up Snes game is excellent as a time killer, if any of you out there still have a Super Nintendo, and a store that rents the games, look for it and pick up a copy.

It's the best beat-em-up on Snes other than Double Dragon, and Final Fight.

Movie based games get a bad rap but there are some that are really awesome and this is one of them. I personally don't mind even a "bad" movie based title, its just fun to be able to play as one of your favorite superheroes and kick lots of bad guy arse. but this is actually one of the exceptions where the game is very well done, we're talking a 20 year old game here! Batman Returns is one of my favorite comic book films, in fact its in my top 3, and that's saying something since we are now living in a time where comic book movies are a dime a dozen, similar to how horror/slasher movies were in the 80's. however the originals are still the best IMO. however we are here to talk about the video game.

Its pretty much your standard side scroller kick punch type of game, but its got some gorgeous scenery and really captures the style elements of the film, from the Christmas setting, Shrecks store signs everywhere, and even the very eerie opening of the movie is replicated here with snow falling, the music is ripped straight from Danny elf mans fantastic score, only "digitized" for the game. the levels definitely get an A+ design wise because it truly captures the look and feel of the movie, its as if the movie were shrunk down into a video game. the cut scenes are also pretty fantastic, with cutouts of the movie characters put into the game to tell the story the "old fashioned" way where you had to read it. ah, I miss these kind of games, you had to use your head and read a bit. character models are straight out of the movie, from Batman's new suit to the clowns and the skeleton motorcycle guys, its very faithful to the movie and is easily one of the best looking movie based games out there. the gameplay is fun and easy to get hooked, punching and kicking at rapid speed. cat woman and penguin are naturally tough to beat but the game looks and plays so great, it keeps you wanting to come back for more.

overall this I a must if your a batman fan, a fan of the film, or just like well done superhero beatemup games. I'm a fan of all 3. I actually grew up with the sega genesis version, which was actually pretty good, but graphics wise the SNES version blows the sega version out of the water. This was a multi platform game, so there were many wholly different versions of the game, the Sega CD Batman Returns game was more of a driving game, the Gensis version was more of a normal adventure game, and the SNES was a great side scroller beat'em up game. all good in there own way, but SNES versions tops them all. still great after all these years which is amazing considering the giant leap in graphics detail.

Batman Returns is one of the one of the coolest video games! The characters, the action, and the sure thrill of excitement makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the Super Nintendo The backgrounds are really beautiful! Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

Overall: I have always loved Batman Returns! If you like excellent fighting and adventure games, and more then I strongly recommend you play this game!

Batman Returns the game. Is one of the best games based off a movie to date. Great graphics for a SNES game. It can get hard,but it's still a great time-killer. Full of surprises. This game is one of the best. I can't get enough of SNES. They will always be the best!

Batman returns is a very awesome game for the super Nintendo. Based upon the motion hit movie of the same title, you play as the ultimate dark knight batman.

The game is basically a "left to right" walking/fighting game similar to "final fight"/"streets of rage"/"golden axe" etc. You have your power ups and unlimited supply of bad guys to get through on each level as well as boss to take on at the end of the levels.

The controls are very easy and will be good for the non hardcore gamer, the game itself has wonderful background scenery, some being usable for you to throw the enemy into and partially interact with, the graphics are very good as well as the music.

Any game with batman/catwoman and the penguin in it cannot be bad.

If u see it..buy it.
