4.0 out of 5 stars The caped crusader and his crusades..., June 20, 2005
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Jakks Pacific Toymax Batman Tv Game (Toy)
I was actually quite surprised by how much fun this is to play.

You play Batman in one of 5 episodes. Each episode is a new criminal. You must unlock the first 4 episodes to play the fifth. I have unlocked it, and won't give the criminal away, but it is only 2 levels. Every other episode has 5 levels before you meet the criminal face to face.

All episodes have a lot of the same concepts and graphics. You may be running room to room solving mysteries and beating up bad guys. Other times you are in the bat boat shooting the baddies and obstacles. Sometimes you are outside fighting bad guys and trying to reach the end of the level. Once you played the first level, that is the same music you will get the rest of the game.

As repetitive as it sounds, it was actually fun to bat-a-rang and beat up the bad guys, solve mysteries to open locked doors, and other puzzles. It wasn't just mindless repetition. The grappling hook helps batman climb levels or swing to spots too high to jump. Very cool item.

The controller saves your progress after you finish each level of a mission. It does not save after a "bat" checkpoint. Checkpoints only save a spot on the game in case you get killed. This prevents you from starting the whole level over. Nor could you save at any point. The controller shape is very good so I didn't have comfort issues with it.

It does engage you quite a bit as some of the game levels are challenging, if not frustrating. It engrossed me a long while and now find myself wanting to solve the levels to play the last episode. There are objectives here and mild story lines.

In short, this has potential to be a far more robust game, but was made with that late 1980's retro look and feel. I wish TV Games would gear up for us older, and more serious gamers. They need to start using TV resolution of 480 x 720. 16 bit color and sound would help.

I only gave it 4 stars because they could have done much more with this controller and the game. The music wasn't very diverse but doesn't get on your nerves either. All things considered, a definite "must have" for your TV Games collection.

TIP: At some point you have to jump rooftops. A few of those spaces are too far apart to jump. You will need the grapnel hook. Press and hold "X", and aim on the diagonal, then release "X" to fire. Swing to safety.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the kids, but not very durable!, June 2, 2008

This review is from: Jakks Pacific Toymax Batman Tv Game (Toy)
My 3 year old son loves this game, but it's our second one due to the cords fraying/breaking. It has some limited educational value - need to find certain items in order to advance to another level - and mild violence - Batman does have to punch/kick/fight villans. A good thing is that the game actually has an end once all the villans are put behind bars (literally!). Also, your child can save the game to play later without having to start from the beginning. If your kid loves it as much as mine, you will want to stock up on double-A batteries! Another warning to parents -the music will drive you nuts after a few minutes of playing -- luckily, it can be turned off while the kid still plays the game!

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old grandson for Christmas. He loves super heros. The game is challenging at best.. Some level are tricky but with practice he is able to beat Iceman levels...He went through 6 sets of batteries until we bought him his own rechargable set. Now he plays everyday and learning alot of angles to get Batman up on the top tiers....His 11 years old Uncle beat all the levels already.
They play it alot.. Getting him Sponge Bob and Spiderman next... It keeps him off my computer so I can play games..
