The Adventures of Batman and Robin quickly becomes a chore, simply to be able to see the next cut-scene. You will have to deliver 50+ hits with Bat-missiles as you dodge whatever obstacle they decide to throw at you.
Eventually you will make it to the bosses themselves, and you will have to blast away (or should I say, trudge away) at them until they eventually succumb to the apparently super weak weapons Batman uses on the Batmobile (Batman has to make sure he doesn’t actually KILL anyone I guess). You’ll steer through the same handful of obstacles over and over and OVER until you finally reach the next stage. Unfortunately, the diversity is just not there. You thought you would actually get to PLAY as Batman and Robin in a game called “The Adventures of Batman & Robin!?” HA HA HA HA HA!!! Sounds like this diesel engine is a bit out of tune From weaving yourself through trees growing in the streets, to dodging zoo animals with certain famous “grins” on them, the scenarios are fitting for the rouge you’re chasing after.
Poison Ivy, The Riddler, The Joker… They all have a role to play in the layout of each of the levels. Instead, you drive the Batmobile through the streets of Gotham City in hot pursuit of some of Batman’s most heinous adversaries. The game itself actually doesn’t have you really controlling “Batman” at all. Let me start by saying, fans of Batman the Animated Series will love to know that the cut-scenes in the game were made with the same voice actors and style of the cartoon, and it doesn’t recycle anything from the show either, so it’s all new material made just for the game! This has earned the SEGA CD title as having, “the lost episode” from the series, and that in itself is enough for most Bat-fans to get excited about! However, that’s about where the excitement ends I’m afraid. Needless to say, that when The Adventures of Batman and Robin (based on my all-time favorite TV show) was being made for the SEGA CD (my favorite console at the time), I was excited to say the least! After all, the other releases of the game are fantastic, so having the power of the SEGA CD behind it, that only means it can get better! Right? Man the stick shift, Robin! All these question mark trucks can mean only one thing… lazy developers! You’ll be hard pressed to find a bigger fan of Batman and SEGA in one person than in me. Superman hitting theaters, we’re continuing with our special Batman and Superman review event!
