this is a good batman game..its just a tad too difficult LOL the graphics are dark and gloomy perfect for batman but they lack the visual detail of the movie but a good job by sega :) now the super nintendo's batman returns is a excellent game which i still play to this day..the graphics are well done.. the music is from the movie..and had digitized scenes from the film.. the other batman game that is really done right is by sunsoft ..:Batman the video game" from the 89 movie again for the genesis.. all in all if your a batman fan get all of these games..

I don't know about the other incarnations of Batman Returns, but the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version is downright atrocious. The controls are stiff and slow, Batman himself moves at a snails pace and is frequently unable to move out of the way of oncoming enemies. The sound effects are awful and the combat system is very, very poor. Such a shame considering Batman was so good. Even the music in this one disappoints in comparison to the brilliant tunes in the first game. The only positive thing I can mention about this waste of time and effort are the nice looking graphics which really evoke the gloomy, wintry feel of a frozen Gotham City. Otherwise, avoid!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but hard., July 28, 2002

The game itself is good. However with no save points and how easy is is to die due to the way you get hit. It is faithful to the film which is always a bonus and unlike many other batman games you get to utilize many of Batmans gadgets from his utility belt. You can use Batarangs, smoke bombs, flying bats (which are effective and look unbearabley cool) a grappling gun that shoots straight forward, heat seeking Batarans and your grappling hook which allows you to reach higher places. They are actually needed in the game as well because as I said earlier it is well hard. I have only completed it once and I jumped for joy when I did! Also essential in any decnt Batman game is the cape gliding feature which looks bad ... and is very useful. As it is based on the film it is only one player. All the characters look like who they are supposed to (especially the Penguin). Overall good but VERY hard.
