Batman returns for the SNES,the best Batman game until the Ark ham series. Let's take a look at one of the best beat them up games ever made.
Graphics - 9: Pretty good for SNES. The game is very well detailed for the environment to the characters. The game on different stages provides really cool looking lighting effects like when a building catches on fire, it looks like you're in an area lit up entirely by fire, there's a section of the game where you're fighting in some abandoned building and it's really dark.
Sound - 7: Sounds are good, I liked them, but I'm not sure about anyone else. The sound effects are pretty average for a SNES game, no weird glitches or just off sounding effects.
Addictiveness - 9: This game is really addictive, you can spend a while playing this, not much else to say.
Story - 9: The story follows the movie quite well, from the Cat woman boss fight, to The Penguin. There are also a couple of levels that aren't related to the movie, but it's still great.
Depth - 4: The game is divided into 7 stages, which takes about 5 - 10 minutes to beat each stage. It takes about one hour to beat the game. A few stages are Bat-mobile stages, the rest are on foot. The games not long at all, but in 1992, games weren't long at all.
Difficulty - 6: The game can get hard at some points. Bosses in the game are pretty cheap. An early fight with Cat woman gives you little room to move around and Cat woman's fast moves can slice up the slow Batman in a flash. One nice touch is that you get to see an expanded ending depending on which difficulty you beat the game at--I was able to get to the final Penguin boss on the highest difficulty mode, but couldn't defeat him.
Overall - 9: I like this game! It's very fun, addictive, and challenging. If you like beat-them-ups, Batman Returns is worth finding--and, over 10 years later, it still remains one of the best Batman games (not saying much, considering the competition).
