Batman is a maze game that was only released in Japan.
+ New paths open up as you explore Gotham City's maps, and foes can be shot through walls for a strategic advantage.
+ Music is top-tier with bass-heavy tracks that set a gritty mood, and there's some excellent cinematic cut-scenes.
- Level objectives aren't engaging and the game's repetitive nature is its Achilles heel in terms of longevity.
- Using arrows to transport you around levels is a tedious chore and the game never makes you feel like a superhero.
- Batman is momentarily inoperable once a batarang is launched, which often leaves you in harms way from rear enemies.
- Bosses are entirely absent until the finale, and even the battle against Joker is lacklustre in its simplicity and scope.
