I promise you - even the most intense Batman ton won't lose sleep over not owning this one.Īn excellent translation of a cartoon series to the game screen! This game is just like being in control of the TV hero. So don't go out and sell your Batman pajamas to get up the cash to buy this game. They go through the game using the same moves and getting the same results.

The only difference between the characters is how they look. This game isn't a show stopper, even though its graphics are great and the violence is excessive, it never gets to be any fun. Playing the game by yourself leaves you wondering why they didn't title it The Adventures of Batman and Robin, since you can't be both heroes. You get to fight the goons of the evil Mr.Freeze, who plans on putting a big chill on troubled Gotham City. Unfortunately, they're only together in the two player version. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Batman and Robin would at last be together again in Sega's The Adventures of Batman and Robin. I guess all the years of male bonding forced Dick Grayson to file a restraining order against his good friend Bruce Wayne. Batman and Robin can't be found together at all. They were so inseparable, people started to wonder about them.īut these days things are different. They ate drank and fought crime together.

Everywhere the Caped Crusader went, the Boy Wonder was sure to follow.

GPīatman and Robin were a team in my day. If the battles involved more than just stiff jump-kicks and the throwing of bat paraphernalia, then it might be more fun to fight so many enemies, but in the end, many of the levels just become an annoying interruption between bosses. The downside here is in the game control and the flood of identical enemy after identical enemy. There is also a great two player feature that gets Batman and Robin out there together, the way they should be. Enemies range from balloons floating by with spiked balls hanging at the end of a string to tiny, unmanned helicopter-like death machines that buzz by without a care in the world. There are other solid aspects in this game which revolve around the originality of some of the enemies and bosses.

In this new age of 32-bit machines it's easy to forget that it is possible to squeeze a good look out of the Genesis, but Sega has done a fantastic job in this case. The one aspect of this game that shines above all others is the sharp and colorful graphics. The difference here is that The Adventures of Batman & Robin is actually based on the stylistic cartoon series. With the return of Batman to the big screen came the return of that old familiar 'Bat Hype'.
