Amazon.com Review
Based on the direct-to-video release of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, this eponymous title is quite simply one of the worst superhero video games ever made--which means, considering how awful entries in this genre tend to be, that it's pretty darn bad.

Contrary to the futuristic theme of the Batman Beyond cartoon series, this pathetic effort is hopelessly dated in terms of gameplay--which is of the side-scrolling brawler variety--as well as graphics and sound, both of which would have been barely passable on the last generation of video game systems. And, given this relic's clumsy, unintuitive controls, even retro video game fans will have a hard time stomaching this one. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Features Batman Beyond characters and artwork

Cons:

• Ridiculously dated gameplay, graphics, and sound
• Clumsy, unintuitive controls

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware, December 31, 2000

By A Customer

I will beging this by saying I do not own this game. That fact pleases me to no end. The gameplay, story, extremely low AI, and over all game quality of this game leave me with the impression that a seven year old with basic programming knowledge made it. Believe it or not, "Superman" looks like a great game compared to this carcinogenic cartrige (yes, it's that bad). I end this review with a warning: stay away from this game if you want your image of videogames as a whole to stay untainted.

1.0 out of 5 stars THE DOWN FALL OF ALL GAMES AS WE KNOW IT, March 19, 2002

A Kid's Review

You know before I rented this game I thought it would be the best because the cartoon was pretty cool. But it isn't, we all have our own opinion about this game so I'm going to tell you mine. It is the worst game I have EVER played I'd be lying if i said that this game was better than the first mario. It was a waste of money a waste time and a waste of effort... I just finnisyhed layingg batman a few minuter ago because i just rented it so i'm telling you now after this if you still feel that you want to play the game if your friend has it play it there or borrow it or rent. BUT I TELL YOU NOW DO NOT BUY IT BEFORE YOU HAVE BORROWED IT, PLAYED IT AT A FRIENDS OR RENTED IT. They make it sound good but trust me I've never seen more of a bad game for N64 in my life.

P.S. I couldn't put a half a star there so there so I only put one.
