Batman: Dark Tomorrow is a game that has been torn apart by critics and Batman fans alike. Most complaints are do to the poor camera and weak control system. However, upon playing this game all the way through, I have to admit...I actually really liked it. Yes, at times the controls are a bit wonky and the camera can become confusing, but I never found either one of these to be frustrating. The problem is, most people attempt to play this game as a beat 'em up, where Batman runs into a room, beats the tar out of his enemies and then high tails it out to the next group of thugs. To be completely honest, you really just can't play the game that way, you'll straight up die..a lot. The way I believe the game was designed to be played, and truthfully is best played, is using stealth tactics. Being quiet and clever as opposed to trying to be Superman. Batman is only human, you know. The story and graphics for the game are pretty sweet, I've heard complaints towards the ending, as there are four different endings, but with the help of a walk through guide, you can be guaranteed you'll get the correct and most satisfying ending.
Overall, the game is obviously not as good as the Arkham games, but for the time it came out, it's definitely one of the better Batman games out there. Worth picking up if you're a Bat-fan.
All for Christ,

Please don't waste your time with this game. I had very high hopes for this game. Somewhere I read that it was going to be really great with a dark gritty atmosphere. Batman without the cheesball aspects. From horrible game play to horrible graphics - this game sucks. Vengeance is by far the best, even if it is short and easy. At least it has the genuine animated series feel. Dark tomarrow just feels awkward.

I AM A HUGE BATMAN FAN AND THOUGHT THIS GAME WOULD BE FUN,I WAS WRONG

unique in the fact its not modeled after the new adventures of batman series, like all the other bm games around that time.
unique in the fact its generally known as one of the worst bm games, ever. Only the hardiest bm fans & gamers should look to give it a go.
I wanna say the devs took their que from resident evil, a lofty goal to be sure.
The only gadgets you'll find useful are the batarangs & the medical supply.
Worth noting, if you want the decent ending, the universal tool shouldnt be overlooked.

The negative reviewers here are NOT lying to you. This is a game that nearly everyone who plays it for fifteen minutes is going to hate. So why the four stars? Simply because out of every Batman game I've every played- and I've played them all- this is the first that really made me feel like Batman.
As I said, you can't just play it for fifteen minutes. The tricky camera makes running nearly impossible, and most people will give up before they've passed the first few stages. Let me point out- it's not one of those games that is just plain frustrating and difficult. I've been playing it for a week now, and it's quite easy to make it halfway through the game without a single continue. However, if you aren't willing to slow your approach to it, you will NOT do well.
Case in point are the fight sequences. The great thing about them is that they almost never unfold the same way twice. Batman has a nice variety of moves (although you'll need to scope out the strategy guide for them, as they aren't included in the manual!), but fights can either end with one punch or quickly evolve into drawn-out affairs. For example, encountering a group of enemies doesn't mean you'll get to take them on one at a time- they'll swarm you, even hitting when you're down! This makes for some very realistic (and fun!) fights, and you will definitely need to employ strategy to survive!
As with any Batman game, two of the most important elements are the villains and gadgets, and this game delivers both. There are a total ten Batvillains- although a couple of them are not actually available to fight in the game. The gadgets are not as plentiful, and to be honest, you don't use a few of them all that much. Aside from an early rooftop level, there's hardly any grappling in the game, and there is a flashlight that looks cool in use, but isn't very helpful. Batarangs are deployed in first-person mode, and are actually quite handy. This is also the first game where the smoke bombs have been effective. Once I got the hang of them, I found myself able to incapacitate up to four enemies with a single smoke bomb.
The story and cutscenes are the best to ever appear in a Batgame, and it's literally worth playing through just to watch all of the cinemas. It also has the best atmosphere of any to date- especially the early levels, set in Gotham amid a gang war.
The bottom line is this- if you're willing to dim the lights, play at a controlled pace, and really get into the whole experience of being the Dark Knight- this game is for you.

not the worst batman game ever
Reviewed in Canada on October 16, 2015
I played and played a second time ! This game is not Masterpiece, not the game of the year, not the worst batman game ever...but could bring good sensation sometimes and fun ! The camera is not the best thing in this game, true. I'm a batman fan, and i really felt like a Detective, human... the Batman.
