Wow, I did a terrible job with Sonic Month. Anyway, due to the complete failure of Sonic Month, how 'bout another month with something I'm sure to do a lot better with, Movie Game Month. A month where I review a game based on a movie or TV show. So let's start with a classic among classics, Batman.
First, a little background. In 1989 Tim Burton had made a Batman movie simply titled Batman. It was huge success and stands as one of the best Batman movies. So naturally, a video game would be made based on the movie. And it was made by Sunsoft, so we're in good hands.
The title screen is nothing to behold. It's just Batman standing there. Starting the game is where it really gets good. The graphics are really good. Somethings look really odd, for example, it kinda looks like one of the enemies is a slot car, but I digress.
The music is fantastic. It's catchy, and memorable. But no Batman theme song though. Y'know, the Danny Elfman one. I digress. This game is unbelievably fun. In fact, everyday I have to play Batman or else the music will never go away.
The story is the exact same as the movie. Which I kinda thought was all over the place. Although, I feel like some scenes came WAAAAAAAAY too early. Like the cutscene where the Batmobile shoots a door open. That came near the end of the movie.
Oh, by the way, THIS GAME IS DANG HARD. Want proof? Did you check out the second boss?
Overall, Batman for NES is not the cash-in you expect. It's actually a really well made game. My only complaint is that the controls are reversed. Start scrolls through weapons and Select pauses. Batman gets and 8.3 out of 10.
