 I'm actually very surprised with this gameFeb 09, 2011
By SMB Madman
Right off the bat, I must tell you now. I am not really a huge fan of Batman. Never watched any movies or the shows. However, I played a couple of the NES games.
Batman Forever was based off of a movie, but the game is actually fairly good. Unfortunately, there are flaws.
As soon as you start playing the game, you'll realize that it is kind of a rebuilt Mortal Kombat. It has the same control scheme and the game is even made by Acclaim. It you like Mortal Kombat games, then this might be good news for you. Although it shares the controls with Mortal Kombat, there are, of course, new additions, such as the grappling hook and the Batarang. The grappling hook might take some getting used to.
What has me dock a star off this review is that the challenge feels cheap at times. There is a way or two how more than half your health will drain from an enemy using their attack (Not the standard fighting moves). Everything else is great.
If you are playing with a 3-button controller, you must press B and C (at the same time) + Up to shoot up. If you press all buttons at the same time, you just jump. And as for jumping down a hole, you must press C + Down. If you're using a 6-button controller, then you just need to use the Y button for the grappling hook instead of B and C. At least it isn't as terrible how the Super Nintendo version had it (Select + Up...Down + R)
The graphics are really amazing for a Genesis game. Digitizing the actors...just like Mortal Kombat. The backgrounds are also dark and stylish. To think that Batman Forever would've actually made itself at home on the Sega 32x.
The sound effects are also pretty cool, although you'd hear smacks and punches most of the time. And sometimes, you might not understand what the voice is saying when you collect a riddle (We could blame Genesis hardware for that, maybe).
The most frustrating aspect of this game is the fact that there isn't a save feature. Now, there are video games in which you don't even need to save your game. But here, it's pretty lengthy. Plus, the game gets kinda hard at times.
What's really awesome about this game is how you can play with another player in a co-op mode (Co-op Mortal Kombat, eh?). However, that might make the game kinda harder.
There's also a Training mode. This mode has you beat up enemies until you die. Just keep progressing through difficulty levels, beating up punks. You can play as any character you want here. Even all the enemies (Pick the guy with the flamethrower) and Two-Face. This could just be a Genesis game itself, considering how some popular Genesis games don't have this mode. You can also play with a friend HERE, which is where things get really fun.
Also in Training Mode, you can battle your friend. This is where it's just Mortal Kombat: Batman Edition all the way!
Overall, this is one kind of Batman game you should try out.

 Holy bad games, Batman!Oct 26, 2000
By Julian Holm
This is just too bad. For such a cool character, Batman has had some bad luck with video games. This is probably the worst and that's saying a lot. This game is no fun (did you see the one star?) and is not worth anyone's time.
 Riddle me this, riddle me that, why does everyone hate this Bat?Mar 08, 2012
By Derek Mai
A lot of people hate this game. Mainly because it was just another "Mortal Kombat" with a Batman license slapped on it. But whats the harm in that? I can see why after "Batman" on NES and "Batman Returns" on SNES they were trying to go for something new other than just making it a plain old side-scroller game.
The graphics are very very good for a Genesis game. The actors are very detailed and stylized, and the backgrounds are dark and gloomy just like the movies. It's true that the grapple and moving between upper and lower levels can be frustrating at first, but once you figure the controls out it's no problem.
You can play as either Batman or Robin in single player mode or co-op(which is a lot funner) and you have a wide array of gadgets to choose from. It's difficult at first, but if you play around with different button combinations you'll discover how to use these gadgets. One thing that sucks is there is no saving feature and no continues. But it makes the game more challenging, and besides there are plenty of opportunities to find hidden lives along the way.
It's very entertaining for a fighting game. Even though it does feel cheap at times. Like when some of the enemies special moves take half your health down. Or when your on the bank safe flying through the air on the second level and you get thrown or knocked off 2 or 3 times. And there are a few combo/special moves. Like in "Batman Returns" on SNES, if you are between two enemies and press the right buttons you can bash two guys heads together! Or you can also grab enemies and either kick or throw them, which does come in handy on certain levels. And I'll admit when I first played this game as a kid I didn't like it either because it was difficult. But its one of those games where you have to learn as you go and get better each time you try.
Also, it is much better than the Super Nintendo version because you don't have to sit through those God awful "Hold on" 7 second loading screens every time you walk through a door. Even though the game gets cheap and annoying sometimes it's not that bad in my opinion. Especially if you can get it for 1 cent on amazon minus the shipping, or $2.99 at a Vintage Stock, what have you got to lose? So if your looking for some old games to try for Genesis you should definitely pick this one up.
 Title should be called Batman "tarnished" ForeverNov 23, 2010
By Leonidas
I like the original Batman game for this system as oppose to this joke. The graphics are very good I will say that, but terrible gameplay. The fighting system in this game was different and it was more than just a rock'em sock'em still side scroller. I liked how each of the characters had a huge list of moves; and how you can use them in the dual mode. Despite this being a bad game overrall I remember myself and my brother loved playing this game back in the day. It was cool when I was a pre-teen but now its just one of those stale games.

Oh BOYApr 03, 2009
By J. Paul
"John doe"
I love the graphics digitized graphics awesome one thing though gameplay much.Why couldn't have been a simple beat up the bad guys progress to the next level game Graphics over gameplay classic mistake. To use a gadget you have to put in a button combination like Mortal Kombat even the fighting engine was like Mortal Kombat. To get above and below areas is a chore. If I told you how to get above and to get below areas you'd be like WTF. Play Batman Forever Arcade on PS1 & Sega Saturan or download it on MAME 32 don't take my word for it Play it I dare ya? It's not as bad as some of the review's say but boy is this game baaaaaaaaaaaaad!
