Oh dude I even wrote a letter to the costume designer for Batman Forever asking her if she could make me a suit. Gave it to my mom to mail and of course my mom didn’t because I didn’t have an address so she wrote a fake letter as costume designer replying to me saying only the real Batman can wear it lol.
@Dagoth Ur I think this was like his first big game project It blew my mind to find out the same guy who did the Assassin's Creed soundtrack which I loved as an adult did this soundtrack which I loved as a kid.
This is the sort of game that is needed to keep your gaming skills and reflexes sharpened. As frustratingly daunting as it can be, I feel that I can take on the toughest games after I've played it. Any progression of note in a game like this, makes me feel far more fulfilled than the games which spoon feed you today. It's place in history is assured because of the technical prowess on offer here. Definitely, if you could own 100 Genesis/Mega Drive games, this should be among them.
Man...this game was so cool,the music was pretty awesome,amazing graphics and the boss battles were just epic Play this with a friend is the best thing ever
This game really showcased the fact that mode 7 type effects could be done easily in software on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive without any slowdown and no special chips needed in the cartridge. Also showcased how amazing Genesis chiptunes could be when sequenced from a competent composer.
If only the game was better balanced as far as difficulty and not so repetitive. Some of these levels drag on for way too long. Otherwise, the game feels like what happens when Amiga demo masters finally master the Genesis hardware. Genesis been putting out amazing chip tunes since release but in Japanese-made games. This was one of the first Western games that dropped the GEMS driver rubbish and caught up to the likes of Koshiro and Sakimoto when it comes to music quality. Although, Jesper accomplished this layered music by taking up all of the 6 FM (+1 PCM) channels, leaving only PSG for the sound effects, making the game feels sparse when it comes to sound effects in some areas. Koshiro's custom driver combined FM and PSG layers for the music, leaving some FM (+PCM) for good sound effects in games like SOR2 and Beyond Oasis.
There's no Mode 7 at all in this game, everything is programming tricks fooling you into thinking it is. Mode 7 at that time wasn't possible on the console (devs these days that like to tinker with the hardware and software, can do it, but their tools are also far more advanced than back in the 90's). It wasn't Mode 7 that caused slowdown on the SNES, it was incompetent programming by many developers. When the young devs today, the same ones tinkering with Genesis stuff, got their hands on SNES games, they showed the games can run slowdown free on a real SNES (Gradius 3 is one such game that they have already done, having to apply yet another patch because the game then ran too fast, they had to sort of slow it back down). The soundtrack to this game however, is very unfitting of this type of game. You expect a soundtrack like this in a regular run and gun game, or a shoot em up, not a Batman game. Really ruins the mood that this game tries to set.
@@Bloodreign1 I have to disagree...Mode 7 was possible at that time but in low resolution which was unpleasant for regular game compared to snes ones. About soundtrack it fits very well in this game because it is run n gun game. Batman game itself is that don't fit very well in this genre.
This game was coded by a single guy, incredibly enough... who also worked on Batman the Movie .... on the... Amiga. Also, most western games made in EUROPE didn't use the GEMS driver, but usually the one made by Shaun Hollingworth, or a custom-made one (Like Chris Huelsbeck) Even though this was made by a USA-based studio, most of its staff were actually european guys, people who indeed had experience on the Amiga demo scene and stuff like that (like Jesper Kyd) And I feel most people on those comments have no idea of what "Mode 7" means.
The Sega CD produces graphics with the same detail as the bare Sega Genesis. All it does graphics wise is have the big file size and allow scaling and rotation, but the Genesis can technically do scaling!
@@spicybreadproductions1972 The Genesis natively cannot do scaling, the software that runs on it can with programming tricks that the developers could do.
this is the best way to display a developer of any game, during the opening dialogue-less cutscene, clockwork tortoise did amazing with this game, well done
Jesper kyd logró algo increíble y también inimaginable con su conductor de sonido Zyrinx, Matt Furniss, Jesper kyd, Motohiro Kawashima, Tim Follin y Yuzo koshiro, fueron los hombres que dominaron la era de composición y arrasaron muy fuertemente con sus habilidades de composición en la sega genesis.
That seems to be typical of games made in Europe and the US, cheap difficulty due to no gradual learning curve, but difficulty spikes instead. Had this game been developed by a Japanese studio instead, the game might've turned out far fairer than it did. Even the gaming magazines in the day complained about this game being unfair.
Atleast this was one of the last get good to beat them games! Once i defeated this game i almost always defeated the game each time i played it. You just had to memorize the boss patterns and always strive to get the highest level batarangs green or orange at any cost. Also, lots of dodging. 😅
This game is simultaneously hardcore and very easy. It punishes you for advancing too fast, as you will be overwhelmed with enemies that take lots of damage. But if you keep your weapon topped off and always collect hearts, you get into a kind of zone where you can see everything that's happening, but you have complete control. Beating this was my first Zen gaming moment.
You know you are challenged really hard when the theme song used to begin. Oh the days.... this game is played by legends only. only legends can understand the pressure while playing this game. Bravo sega!
Thanks for this, I was never able to beat this game no matter what, I always thought this game was at another level, the background effects were amazing, the first time I fought Mad Hatter I lost right away from looking at the awesome background effect, that was something you rarely saw back in the day.
And he still does music for video games today, most notably the Hitman franchise and the Minority Report video game, which he co-composed with Mike Hampton.
My parents got me this one year back when I was a kid, and it was always one of my favorite games even though I never got past the Two Face chapter. Such an amazing, beautiful game. I'm collecting retro games again, and this one is high on my list once I move on to the Genesis.
Definitely an underrated game on the genesis. Top notch graphics, gameplay, and music. One of those you never hear anyone talk about and cant understand why.
I think it has more so to do with the time it was released. The Saturn and PlayStation were already out by the time this came out, and that probably hurt sales
Did you beat it? The toughness makes me frustrating at playing. Batman should have more energy and more powerful weapons so the game would be perfect. Graphics and music are 10 grade.
I agree! Now, if only Jesper kept composing music like this for all of his games instead of making them sound too much like a Hollywood movie- one of his recent games that he composed, Borderlands would be perfect to have the frantic and music like this game for its bosses.
I remember playing this game as a kid along with my big brother, having fun. Bow we barely talk, but good memories pop with this gameplay. Be beat the games so many times!!
Everything is pretty darn good visually.... except the throwing ranged weapons animation. It looks so silly, like he's gone insane and is handing out candy on Halloween at the speed of sound. :P
I was never able to finish the first level as a kid (the first boss that harley quinn drives) even when I played with a friend. In some rare occasions I do still try to beat the game, it's still incredibly hard. But damn I love it. Jesper Kyd's work is incredible.
Sega and the game's developer Clockwork Tortoise, comprised of ex-Malibu Interactive personnel, who later went on to work for Neversoft, Paradox Development and Left Field Productions, couldn't get the rights to use Danny Elfman's score from the first two Batman films and the late Shirley Walker's score from Batman: The Animated Series due to clearance issues, so they contracted Jespyr Kyd to compose the music instead.
Subestimado por quem? Só se for a turma do bigode kkkkkkkkk. Quem joga Mega Drive, sabe do potencial do console. Recebendo lançamentos até hoje e a turma do bigode, chupando o dedo. Rsrsrs
I remember constantly playing this game just for the Mad Hatter section. The final boss fight was extreme and it's too bad they didn't let it play out another minute cause it get's crazy.
I think they made a smart choice with music. Sound chip in Mega Drive is not very good at making orchestrated scores unlike SNES. Had they opted for the same style, it would have probably sounded like farts and glass bottles. On the other hand, sound chip in Mega Drive is much better for producing techno and rave music.
@@stephanusghibellino yeah you basically can't die. I always preferred the green bolas over the red batarangs anyday until you reach mad hatter stage. (Exception is final hatter boss whee you need the green bolas) I never ever used the blue powerups. Still to this day don't know what they do and the spiral powerup that augments your attack is practically useless. Your playing this game till the end without dying till the final showdown with Mr freeze. There's where you throwaway your lives
Soddarkryder Yes, Mega Drive / Genesis has stereo sound. The out of the box cables only gave you mono but if you used the headphone out on the Model 1 Genesis or got a stereo cable for the Model 2, you can hear the stereo. A lot of games use the stereo. When sonic collects rings it alternates left and right channel.
So the most loved mega drive techno soundtracks are all from beat em ups? Amazing that it can actually sound good without any PCM! I think I heard somewhere that it doesn't use PSG either.
The music in this game is arguably the most ahead of its time in all of gaming history. 1994 are you f***ing kidding me?? Also. One of the hardest and most frustrating games of Genesis.
Even though I've rarely gotten far in this game (cause holy shit is it HARD), I still love it and the music. The intro and first stage music are pretty iconic for me. And this game, in my opinion, deserved to be called Batman AND ROBIN unlike the SNES game, cause you can actually PLAY as Robin here. Also, I just now realize the Green weapon was some bolas, wow.
I always thought Contra Hard Corps is the most impressive game on the Mega Drive. But this game here O.o. Woah. It doesn't have a lot mulit joint sprite animation to offer. But the background effects are outstanding. The mad hatter boss fight. The cat boss. The little bots at 48:12 have these beams. I do not even understand how they work. Sprites? A background trick?
Replying to old comment but: they're one of the background planes (there's a triangle shape and the game picks a different row every line to build the triangle). The flickering is so there can be two of them at "once" (by alternating between them).
This fucks my childhood. It looks so easy on this video but you have no idea how DIFFICULT this game is if you didnt play it. Its a fucking nightmare, I remember as a kid going 'far' in the game, I was giving it all cause i got so far : This point in the video is at 15 minutes out of 1 hour !!!!!! I had no fucking idea The soundtrack is amazing and this game too, play it
This game is my childhood I remember it was hard but when I figured out the weapons upgrade my favorite is the bat rope green weapon the game was easy as long u don’t die because then u had to re upgrade the weapons I must have beaten this game 60 times that’s how much I love Batman and Robin my favorite theme of the game soundtrack is The Big Boss theme Harley Quinn.
If you get to the mushroom stage without power ups, you’re going to have a miserable time. Especially considering that the previous stage has like none of them
Yeah, on of this few games near the end of the MD's lifespan, which technically (effect-rountine programming wise) squeezed out everything out of the MD :-). These are Contra Hardcorps, Alien Soldier, (Vectorman), and this one here for me. Partly Castelvania Bloodlines as well regarding some effects (- programming). SNES never could do this that way, as in those (and other) games. "blast processing" ;-) ;-) - Having said that, it does not mean that the game(play) itself is the very very best (memorable, charme, design) out there on MD and else in most of those/such games, of course.
Да игрушка восхитительная: в плане графики (почти тот мультсериал 1992-1994), а музыка вообще радует уши. Радует ещё что её пройти совсем не просто, как и Battletoads 1.
Jokers Theme will always have a special place in my heart with this game. Man this game was hard as all hell. But I suppose that's to be expected of Batman.

@@knightshousegames he did three other OSTs on the Genesis before this. AWS Pro Moves Soccer, Red Zone, and Sub-Terrania.

This game is my childhood I remember it was hard but when I figured out the weapons upgrade my favorite is the bat rope green weapon the game was easy as long u don’t die because then u had to re upgrade the weapons I must have beaten this game 60 times that’s how much I love Batman and Robin my favorite theme of the game soundtrack is The Big Boss theme Harley Quinn.
My favorite game OST ever. As a kid it made me feel like I was warped inside the game. My favorite Batman game ever.
This game and soundtrack ❤️
The soundtrack from this game is unfreaking real good
If you get to the mushroom stage without power ups, you’re going to have a miserable time. Especially considering that the previous stage has like none of them
Больше всего в этой игре нравится геймплей под музыку!
According to Wikipedia this game got lousy reviews upon its release. I don’t understand. These graphics are incredible for the Genesis.
Batman: Contra inc.
Damn those visuals look so amazing. So much attention to detail.
Yeah, on of this few games near the end of the MD's lifespan, which technically (effect-rountine programming wise) squeezed out everything out of the MD :-). These are Contra Hardcorps, Alien Soldier, (Vectorman), and this one here for me.
Partly Castelvania Bloodlines as well regarding some effects (- programming). SNES never could do this that way, as in those (and other) games. "blast processing" ;-) ;-)
- Having said that, it does not mean that the game(play) itself is the very very best (memorable, charme, design) out there on MD and else in most of those/such games, of course.
Best 16-bit graphics are on the boss stages of The Lost World: Jurassic Park for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Site 1, 2, 3 and 4. Done with no FX chip.
Да игрушка восхитительная: в плане графики (почти тот мультсериал 1992-1994), а музыка вообще радует уши. Радует ещё что её пройти совсем не просто, как и Battletoads 1.
Great childhood memory ❤️
Los juegos de Sega tenian los mejores Soundtracks jaja
One of the best games i ever played on the Sega System.... in fact, i still owe the console and this game.
Why would Mr Freeze be allowed a snowglobe inside his cell? With security like that, no wonder they keep bloody escaping.
This game made Kevin Conroy's batman say what Jack Nicholson's Joker pondered, "where did they get those wonderful toys?"
this game has kick ass music \m/
I love Batman villains in old games
Jokers Theme will always have a special place in my heart with this game. Man this game was hard as all hell. But I suppose that's to be expected of Batman.
Best music ever for a video game
i miss 1995, i was 5
excellent graphics
This is the greatest game ever launched to Genesis!
how to succeed in this game: USE THE FRIGGIN GREEN WEAPON!
jesus christ.
has to be the hardest game on the megadrive.
I thought earthworm jim was hard till i saw this shit.
