From the Manufacturer

Step into the shadows of Gotham City’s perilous criminal underworld as DC Comics’ legendary Dark Knight in the Batman Begins video game. Batman Begins challenges players to use fear as their ultimate weapon. The game explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight’s emergence as a force for good in Gotham. Gamers will play as both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, Batman, hunting evil-doers from the shadows, using strength, intellect, and an array of high-tech gadgets to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city, including classic villains the Scarecrow, Ra’s Al Ghul, and Carmine Falcone. Turning traditional stealth-based gameplay on its ear--by allowing gamers to play the hunter, rather than the hunted--Batman Begins delivers the Batman universe as never before. Stalking criminals from the shadows, gamers will discover new ways to paralyze thugs with fear before engaging in hand-to-hand combat, or interrogating them. From the halls of Arkham Asylum and the alleys of Gotham City to an ancient monastery high in the Himalayas, Batman Begins the video game delivers a thrilling interactive companion to Christopher Nolan’s reinvention of the Dark Knight in Batman Begins.

Features:

• Fear is your weapon: Stalk and terrorize enemies, or strike from above to pick off prey one by one. Use the environment to turn enemies against each other and defeat them before ever joining the fight. Take out an enemy with an attack from above and watch the fear level of his fellow thugs increase.
• Interactive environments: gamers must use their environments, from scaling buildings and gliding between rooftops, to triggering explosions and unleashing the insane inmates of Arkham Asylum against their enemies, to bring justice to Gotham.
• Cinematic combat: mixed martial-arts combat and devastating finishing moves developed exclusively for Batman Begins are faithfully recreated in the game with the assistance of the film’s stunt coordinator.
• The bat utility belt: delve deep into the ultimate arsenal of high-tech crime fighting gadgets, including the batgrapple, batarang, optic cables, and lock picks.
• The batmobile: Tear up the streets and rooftops of Gotham in the batmobile. Fight crime in multiple levels of lightning-fast vehicular combat.
• Experience Gotham City: Batman Begins brings gamers into the Batman universe, allowing them to experience the origins of the Dark Knight as both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman--from the alleys of Gotham City and depths of the Batcave to the twisted halls of Arkham Asylum.
• Epic storytelling: featuring a game script by JT Petty, the acclaimed writer of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, Batman Begins allows players to delve even deeper into the universe masterfully depicted in Christopher Nolan’s film.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth a look, but only a look, October 22, 2005

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

Batman Begins for the GBA is essentially what you would expect from a licensed GBA side scroller: decent graphics (well, somewhat), easy controls, and repetitive gameplay. Playing as Gotham City's brooding Dark Knight, Batman Begins consists of 12 levels based on events in the film. Throughout the game, you'll face off against enemies that can punch you, as well as enemies that have knives, guns, etc., before facing off against various villains from the film, including Carmine Falcone, the Scarecrow, and Ra's Al Ghul. The game's difficulty is hardly anything worth mentioning, and in two hours time you'll probably beat the game. The graphics are sadly grainy, even though Batman himself and other characters are nicely animated. The game's music effects, and the control scheme is easy as well. Batman also features a host of assorted gadgets, and there's even times when you can use a bit of stealth in certain aspects of the game, but really, there's no point to here. The game also features some cut-scenes that follow the story of the film, but they're grainy and stiff as well and better left skipping. EA could have really put something good together here with Batman Begins for the GBA had more time been put into it and it wasn't just a cash-in to coincide with the film's theatrical release, but alas, this game is just another generic licensed side-scroller that is worth checking out for Bat-fans, but for the rest of us is better left on the shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars I am vengeance. I am the knight. I am-BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!, October 19, 2005

By	Alex K "Catman" - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This is a great game. In my opinion, at the very least. It has cool graphics, lots of darkness(like any Batman game should)and some interesting enemies, including Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow, just like in the movie. Also, you can use a number of cool weapons, like Batarangs, grapplers, two kinds of gas canisters, and a flurry of vicious live bats. It is also a challenging game, and you can even increase your attacks just by keeping on pressing the B button. On top of that, you can beat up your enemies until they give you information you need. All in all, I like this game A LOT and if you are a Batman fan, it's a definite must have.
