I remember EVERY FREAKING SOUND FROM BACK THEN. I was around 6 or 7 when I played this or younger and I'm 18 now. This game was so impactful on me somehow that I played through it an insane amount of times. Man Im glad I remembered this and didn't play it off as some fever dream.
Ahh good times. I remember having this game on my GameCube playing it when I was a kid till I got freaked out and scared at some of the enemies and pretty much stopped playing till I grew a bit older to understand and finally beat this game lol!
Dorth Vedar yeh I was the same, don’t know why some of the character models scared me 😂 but I got stuck at the poison ivy battle then never went back to it
the game has an unforgiving element and eludes to having a stealth element but you always run out of equipment I had to revisit this one some time later
I'd love that because I actually prefer the streamlined, sleek, Art Deco look of BTAS to the kinda grungy + tacticool look of the Arkham series (I still think that the environments in the Arkham game are pretty good, even if some of the character designs are kinda ugly).
back when this got release i gameplayed it all in a few hours and recorded it on VHS, i lost that tape in my old house while moving to our new one though ;( great game!
I got stuck at some aim and release batclaw at some ledge I could never ever reach somehow, while following some villain/hostage if I recall well? Not very advanced in the game I am sure...
In a lot of ways I always found this game to be the the precursor work that led to Arkham Asylum (not the open world ones). Oh sure it plays pretty poorly nowadays, but this was the first batman game to truly make me feel like batman when I was younger. All the other ones were either Ninja Gaiden (NES) clones or Beat-em' ups. That is until this game came out.
Ah, right in the feels. When I got my ps2 for christmas this was one of the first 3 games I got (the others were Jak and Daxter and Fur Fighter's Viggo's Revenge). And now looking back at it, getting those feels for the first time I played a serious game on ps2 in the system's youth. Even though the graphics are dated now, still hits me with the memories of when I was in middle school and looked forwards to my holiday breaks of visiting my dad and nanna when she was still alive, RIP. As a side note, you can't go wrong with the franchise's mixture of gothic and art deco. It's so classy and hip at the same time. Like the Disney of super hero cartoons in quality and class. (Yes I know it's WB but you get my point).
2018 here! I still love how this game was based on the animated series, and was done so well. Also, the Joker slapping his henchman at 16:47 was even funnier than when he slapped Harley Quinn in Injustice."Baby, you're the best!" LOL
I remember i stopped playing the game at the poison ivy train station. The creepy ivy monsters and bat girl calling for help on the radio just kind of freaked me out.
"hey, lets make a boss battle with Mr Freeze when Batman has to stay out of his sight or he gets frozen, so he has to use the environnement to cause damages to Freeze without actually fighting him face to face" Bat vs Freeze games since ever !^^
The Mr. Freeze boss fight in the 'Adventures of Batman and Robin' game for Genesis wasn't like that. It was a kind of aerial battle in which you (Riding on a jetpack) first have to aim your projectiles for the glass dome covering Mr. Freeze in the floating/ flying vehicle, then when that shatters, you have to aim for Freeze himself for a while. Eventually, he falls out and hangs onto the edge of his flying vehicle, so then for the final phase of the battle, you have to aim for the vehicle, so it'll eventually explode and cause Freeze to fall.
Im always wondering why this game is never in any "top 10 best batman games" or something. It doesnt seem very well known either, i really loved it when i was a kid. I only completed it last year, lol. Still have the disk. Great game.
Its genuinely weird how unsettling this game actually got, and it was never any single thing: Enemy design, claustraphobia, paranoia, environment design, the joker fucking "dying". This is the ONLY batman or superhero game i have seen that has had multiple players all saying that it scared them.
forastero54321 my ps2 is busted now smh 🤦🏾♂️ it freezes up when I am in the menu screen it’s about 6 years old so 🤷🏾♂️ plus I wasn’t taking good care of it when I was a child
Oh the nostalgia for this game 😭❤ I remember being frozen by mr freeze and not knowing how to get out and being too scared to play passed the level where you go back to the chemical factory cause Ivys plant minions scared the shit outta me as a kid
This game was ahead of its time! Likely the only good bat game based off of batman:TAS. Years before arkham asylum, about a decade almost. This game was the only time Warner brothers batman game developers actually got it right!
This game was ahead of its time! Likely the best bat game, this was way before arkham asylum, by about a decade. This is the only time warner brothers batman game developers actually got it right!
The first game I owned on PS2. Played it a ton as a kid, takes me back to the good old days. It was really challenging if I remember correctly... the tone as many others explain was terrifying for me as well! I was just a kid haha... but man, it was scary. Looking at it now, it’s just a cartoon 🤣 still looks awesome and fun as it was back in the day. I wish times could be simple again like they once were...
Such a great Batman game, ahead of its time and held back from being popular by the constraints of the technology at the time, the game is a masterpiece and I still love every part of it regardless of if it’s mainstream, the story is incredible and the gameplay is genuinely original yet simple and fun... 10/10 and no I’m not over rating it, for a game from 2001, it’s perfect
Nabil Abdulkader to be fair though I was around 6 or 7 years old when that game first came out so you could imagine how frustrating those levels would be for a kid that age. Lmao
Oracle was Batgirl before she got paralyzed. The fact that Joker shot her was because she was the daughter of Gordon. He was proving a point. After she was paralyzed she would be no use to Batman on the streets so she went to help in other ways. She gave up being batgirl AFTER she was shot.
Honestly I still love this game and play it nearly once a year to this day, with the only thing that hasn’t aged well being the combat imo, especially in comparison to the Arkham games. I don’t even think the graphics are that bad since they nail the look of the show so well. Always wished it was open world although this was very early in the 6th generation of consoles so I understand why it’s not there.
i like that they seem to have gotten the voice actors from the animated series. here's the thing, the guy in the animated series uses his regular voice when he is batman and a fake voice when he is bruce wayne, because bruce wayne is the costume and batman is his true identity. whereas christian bale uses a fake voice as batman, which is why i think he played batman wrong. and mark hamill is the best joker then cesar romero then jack nicholson heath ledger . . . . . . and then jared leto all the way at the bottom
Best fighting enemies are joker thugs and cold thugs it's hilarious what makes this 2002 animated Batman Vengeance game it fun to beat joker thugs they sound funny and wish they added waves of 40 thugs for each stages.
19 year old game still worth talking about. The prologue to what would be the Arkham series. The story of this game is really impressive and still gives me goosebumps until this very day. The way the Joker 🃏 is portrayed in the game as a very dark and diabolical enemy and also how he methodically deceived Batman. This should be remade to the modern consoles.
The best Batman game ever the opening credit scene like a movie so classic and the animation style is on point from the cartoon & really a perfect game at its time
It really doesn't matter what year this games made until they are in our heart we watch videos about them and try to remember the days we had with them (sorry it got long and for my bad English)
I remember getting this in 2003 with a Gamecube. When I first played Arkham Origins in 2016, I was worried about thugs getting back up as there were no batcuffs
(5:49) A deleted monologue for Batman once read 'Mary had a little...Hmm so I *didn't* just save Jason wearing a naughty negligee...Damn. Nightwing's going to be disappointed.'

Before the Arkham games this was my favorite Batman game and I think the best one at the time.
A little limited gameplay wise, but the story, music and general atmosphere were sublime
I think Batman begins is better
@@TheShockman10 Begins was after though, definitely had better combat.
@@shyecity916 batman begins was definitely the best batman game till arkham asylum. Everyone who says else has no clue what hes talking about
Mee too, i played it on xbox

I used to play it every christmas. Seemed to fit somehow.
OMG THISSS
It's just awesome to hear the voices of Kevin, Mark, Arleen, and Tara in the batsman world.
oh jeay
16 years and it's still the same batman voice actor :O
-Lunat1c- lol
Kevin Conroy IS batman
Wouldn't have it any other way
And the same voice actor for Joker right?
Nicholas Steel Yes. Mark Hamill.
The Animated universe was just so perfect.
Man I used to be scared at some scenes on this game as a child, I loved the game tho it was great, I hope they remake it for PS4
Me too, and I don't even know why! Possibly because of the dark colours...
Alba Calero yeh man possibly
FinDervian 690 i just remember watching the cutscenes like an actual batman movie🤔😂💀
Why did batman kill himself?
Dude it's been like 16 years, why would they do it?
This is my all time favorite Batman game! That opening cinematic is so great!
I remember being like 4-5 years old playing this game. This was actually the first game I beat. Such a great game and so nostalgic
As a kid I always found the first level so disturbing...

I miss this classic game, it has the feel of the animated series!! I'm thankful that we got the Arkham Series!
The title screen theme makes me think of death
hradcore same
Same
back when this got release i gameplayed it all in a few hours and recorded it on VHS, i lost that tape in my old house while moving to our new one though ;(
great game!
I believe this was my first ever video game. I can only recall a few scenes in this game, but its a masterpiece in my memories.
Man. playing this game on PC was such a pain in the ass. I always got stuck on that Poison Ivy mission with the batmobile chase.
Hahahaha yes!
Me too the horrible moment
I got stuck at some aim and release batclaw at some ledge I could never ever reach somehow, while following some villain/hostage if I recall well? Not very advanced in the game I am sure...

"hey, lets make a boss battle with Mr Freeze when Batman has to stay out of his sight or he gets frozen, so he has to use the environnement to cause damages to Freeze without actually fighting him face to face"
Bat vs Freeze games since ever !^^
Well if Batman fights him head on then there's a very high possibility that he will damage Freeze's suit, and Freeze can't live without the suit.
The Mr. Freeze boss fight in the 'Adventures of Batman and Robin' game for Genesis wasn't like that. It was a kind of aerial battle in which you (Riding on a jetpack) first have to aim your projectiles for the glass dome covering Mr. Freeze in the floating/ flying vehicle, then when that shatters, you have to aim for Freeze himself for a while.

I never got through the first level because It freaked me out as a kid, crazy to come back years later and still get chills
By bringing in the joker u then realized this is the prologue to the entire the Arkham games series lol awesome

Nice game, it was difficult to beat for me but good game anyway. Would be nice if they made an arkham game using these graphics for everything
I love this game .. It wasn't cheesy but some parts were cheaply made as far as gameplay
Interesting that Batgirl is essentially Oracle in this even though she's not paralyzed.
They did that because they thought paralyzing Barbara would've been too violent for kids.
Oracle was Batgirl before she got paralyzed. The fact that Joker shot her was because she was the daughter of Gordon. He was proving a point. After she was paralyzed she would be no use to Batman on the streets so she went to help in other ways. She gave up being batgirl AFTER she was shot.
