Finally a Batman Game that is educational and NOT violent! [Posted on 2004-01-18] Santa gave this game to my 5 year old son. My son loves Batman, so this game was a perfect fit. The graphics are great and very entertaining. There is NO violence of any kind. In order to complete the entire game, you must solve several task which require listening, observation and thinking skills. There are 3 different levels to vary the difficulty of the challenges. However, once you have solved the game, that is it. It is the same everytime. My son's don't seem to mind though, they just play it over and over.
NO! [Posted on 2004-10-19] woah woah woah woah woah... Batman is violent. Batman is disturbed. Batman is a borderline madman. Batman is just inches away from the edge and being a killer... Batman is not for five year olds and for any Batman product to cater to five year olds is a terrible misunderstanding of the character. It's like making a version of "The Shawshank Redemption" where everybody goes home after having learned a lesson. No. Just... no.
Game is bugged - don't buy it [Posted on 2006-01-04] My kids enjoyed playing this game, but, alas, it is not possible to finish it due to a bug. There is no fix/update available and it is not supported by the publisher. Very frustrating.
The final scramble has a bug - you don't get the letter "L", you get an "O" instead - so there is no way to get to the final end game challenge. This has been posted on other boards too (epinions.com, the "SCAOES OF JUSTICE" bug).
The last reviewer comment about playing this "over and over" makes me wonder, since you can't get to the end.
Fun game, but unless you really want to teach your kids about getting frustrated with bugged games, skip this title.
Watch out for the Glitch [Posted on 2006-06-30] My 8-year-old son loves this game, but the glitch is really a problem. You get all the way to the end, prepared to play the final round, and then you have an "o" where you should have an "l," and you can't go on. If you can stand that disappointment, it's still fun to play, and blessedly non-violent. As for the "true" nature of Batman, my son is clueless, so I'm not worried about that. Except for the glitch, it's a great game--I like playing it too. I'd buy it again for a reduced price.
