Product Description

This listing is for a Nes Video Game Version. Batman the Video game. Storyline: The citizens of GOTHAM CITY are busy planning the city's 200th Anniversary Festival, but there is not much to celebrate. Crime and violence rule the city. The only man who can free the city from THE JOKER'S evil clutches is the one and only - BATMAN! With your help, the CAPED CRUSADER can defeat THE JOKER and save the good people of GOTHAM CITY. BATMAN is armed with special weapons and acrobatic strength. He must destroy 15 different types of enemies and 5 bosses, while traveling through 5 stages. Finally, BATMAN comes face-to-face with THE JOKER! But who will prevail? It's up to you! --From the NES Batman instruction manual. Overview: Batman is based loosely on the Michael Keaton/Jack Nicholson movie. Batman is out to stop the Joker from terrorizing Gotham City. There are some cinema scenes between levels, that show the Batmobile driving around or confrontations with the Joker. The cut-scenes have nice graphics to look at. The in-game graphics are good, too. There are some quotes from the movie included, and much of the scenery came right from the movie, too, such as the Axis Chemical Plant, and Batman's final showdown against the Joker in the clock tower. The sounds were also reminiscent of the movie. The controls were a little tricky at first, but easy to use once you get used to them. The ability to make Batman jump off the walls was a really fun feature. This platformer based on the movie was definitely an exception to the rule that all games based on movies are crappy.

Ranked One of the BEST NES Games Ever
Batman was my first introduction to NES gaming back in the early 1990's. It remains one of the most challenging and delightful games NES has ever produced.

As Batman, you must literally fight your way through five extremely challenging (and fun) levels, with the last screen of each level facing a particularly difficult boss-villian of the Joker. The final screen on level five (at the top of the Bell-Tower) is the Joker himself. Just getting to the top of the Bell-Tower is an achievement in itself!

This game will challenge even the most experienced NES gamer. Be prepared for lots and lots of practice, for each level poses its own unique challenges and skills that must be learned. The sheer enjoyment of this game cannot be emphasized enough. It took the better part of a year for my son and I to beat this game. Of course, there are website spoilers that will detail how to beat a certain level or Boss, but why utilize these sites when the fun is in solving the complexities of the game yourself?

Besides Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Batman has no rival to its complexity and degree of difficulty.

I give this 5+ stars for the hours of enjoyment it will bring you. Superb NES gaming!
