batman returns

[daminmancejin2]

ok batman returns is a good game the only thing thats holding it back was the Graphics its all purple even batman catwoman and Penguin.you don't drive the batmanmobil in this one. its all fighting and that a good thing.
useing you hook to get up platform and swinging like spider-man too
the controls are very easy to work you can use your batbelt to use weapons and stuff the sound and music is very good too i like it very much
this game isn't that hard if you have alot of weapons too help ya if you use them up then you will die alot in this game but what makes me play this game alot i use the game genie to help to cheat and not get mad at this game and throw it everywhere so here's the game genie code i made for it Invincibility 0LYT-AA4R

I like the driving in the CD version.
lots of fun if you know what you're doing

[daminmancejin2]

but i don't have sega CD batman returns i just have sega genesis batman returns

[lordofduct]

then get a Sega CD... no genny collection is complete without it. YOU ARE MISSING SO MUCH!

[daminmancejin2]

no thanks :D im ok with my genesis

[Melf]

daminmancejin2, you seem to be pretty adept with creating Game Genie codes for the Genesis. Ever thought of collecting them all together? This would make for a cool feature, like "new code of the week"or something. We could also put together a guide or something with new codes.

Oh and, Batman Returns was cool, but sometimes frustrating. That is all. :P

yea where can i put my new game genie codes at so you can list it on this board so everybody can see it? :D

[Melf]

You can make an "Official Game Genie Code" thread here, and I'll sticky it.

BTW, that Batman Returns code worked like a charm. :)

[Menosa Torres]

Has anyone played Batman Revenge of the joker is that any good?

thankz i have mad game genie codes for some games but im still making some more. :D

[Melf]

I'm going to try out that Rocket Knight one you made. I'll check my games and see which ones need an invincibility code the most. Sometimes, I just want to play a game without worrying about running out of lives before I finish.

[daminmancejin2]

craps! i don't have that game :(

[Mel]

I just got batman returns, (and a load of other stuff)

However, I tend to agree, the genesis alone seems to be enough. The cd and 32x are nice and all, but the pwoer of sega is all in the genny.

Hmm trying to remember... I think it played better than Batman Returns, wasn't it more like a brawler... anybody?

IMO Batman Returns (Sega CD) is a must own, at least if you want it for its music. Driving sequences aren't bad either.

Anyway, the original Sunsoft Batman owns all Genny versions, so whoever is curious about it, get it. The next question is, what Sunsoft version is better, Batman (NES) or Batman (Genesis)... Its a hard choice.

[Melf]

I must add that Batman Returns looks phenomenal in S-video.

[Mel]

Can we get a review for this one?

[Mel]

Is this like a beat'emup?

[daminmancejin2]

yea its like that

[Dartagnan1083]

after having owned a sega CD for as long as I have. . . I would never allow a genny system of mine to go without it.

The Sega CD is much more than worthwhile.

Oddly, I like the NES version better. They're basically the same game, but I actually liked the grpahics style on 8-bit quite a bit better. I remember I rented the Geneisis version years after expecting it to look awesome, as the NES version had looked so much better than the majority of the stuff on that system, but instead it had this horrible cartoony look. What a disappointment.

Still, better than Superman, which is totally lame. Superman games almost always suck though -- they seemingly can't find a game to fit around his powers, or as the case with Sunsoft's Suprerman, find a game to fit his powers into.

I also prefer the NES version of Batman over the Genny... relatively speaking, I feel the NES version's graphics are more impressive, the BGM rocks, and is far more deep in gameplay. Why Sunsoft didn't implement this in the Genny version blows my mind.

Are you talking about the original Batman game or the sequel? I still haven't played the original on Genesis, but I agree that it's one of the gems on NES.

Revenge, on the other hand was a decent game for the time, and graphically impressive for the NES, but the later port to Genesis was just lame in its graphical style. Though I remember the two being nearly identical in overall play and layout.

[GeckoYamori]

I believe the port was handled by a different developer, hence its crappiness. Whoever redrew the graphics had almost no artistic sense, the atmosphere was completely ruined.

[Electroman]

Oops, duplicate post.

Original Sunsoft Batman 1 version.

Ya'll feel that the original Sunsoft Batman 1 (NES and Genesis) were still the best versions designed? I do.

[16bitter]

I haven't played Batman on Genesis, but I love it on NES. It's one of the great action/platformers made for the system, and Lord knows there were alot of those types of games on the Entertainment System.

One Batman game I really love is The Adventures of Batman and Robin on (wait for it) SNES. Looks, sounds and plays perfectly. The Catwoman stage is one of the most beautfully realized I've seen in representing the exhilaration that is inherent to this particular character and his nightly flights of fantasy made real. Konami so used to own.

Many praise Batman Returns on SNES as well, which I also have. But its mixture of platforming and beat 'em up is less than stellar in execution (the platforming stages should have been given different sprites or just been cut). It's been years since I've played the subject of this thread but I remember preferring its gameplay to that of its Konami cousin.

[crazyjoedavola]

The one thing about Batman Returns for the Sega CD is that it demonstrates just what music can do for an otherwise average game. I remember playing the cart version first and then renting the CD version for the driving sequences, which were definitely worth it. But it almost felt like I was playing a different game and I got into it more than the cart version simply because of the great soundtrack.

[Dartagnan1083]

I've ripped bits of the soundtrack to my iTunes playlist.
I've owned the game for years but I've yet to get sick of the soundtrack.

[16bitter]

I assume it's the Elfman film score? I love that film's music.

Dare I say, that the ONLY reason why I own Batman Returns for SCD is for its music. Believe me, I <3 SEGA but IMO, the game itself is for the toilet.

[daminmancejin2]

i was just playing this game just now and i was finished the train level in till i tryed to jump over the cord and landed on the cord to my game and messed up trying to get on the computer:(

[daminmancejin2]

why there's no Reviews for this game?

[burnt toast]

ive only played the master system version of this, and it wasnt amazing. but its a platformer. i havent played this mega drive version and ive just found it amongst my other games. how odd.

i didnt realise it was a brawler, will give it a go in a while.

[David J.]

I liked the Master System/Game Gear edition...

[daminmancejin2]

i only played the sega genesis batman returns

I wasn't talking to you in particular.

Do you have a disability? How old are you? 5?

[Drixxel]

^ Many people have a hard time with grammar. I'm sure you can still read what daminmancejin2 types. No need to offend someone.

[Chris Marsh]

I have both the Genesis and Sega CD versions. I can beat the platform levels in both versions with about five lives left of seven lives mode. The driving levels are difficult and I can only get to level three. The music is cool in the Sega CD version.

That's now what I was really getting at. So I have bad grammar too, I can read what he is saying fine. For my other comment: Go look at the Shadow Dancer page on Genesis Collective.

http://genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=332

Something is wrong, IMO.

[Drixxel]

I see. That didn't seem clear in this message.

.. and after having read through those messages on the Genesis Collective Shadow Dancer page, well.. that certainly is curious.

[ary incorparated]

Man i am 10 then grammar wise, my English is as i think the worsest of the entire site but hell i can live with it, see i am still typing. BTW as for batman returns on sega cd its was okay even the driving stages didnt impress me that much why?, here is why because it had like only 20 colours in screen and 30 max, still fun game and the music rocks pretty much. As for Batman Revenge of the Joker that one was better on nes yes better music on the strange way(it needed lesser channels to sound that great)and the graphics are more of a pleasure on the eye then its genesis counterpart, I also enjoyed playing batman returns/Batman 3 on nes.

[ary incorparated]

I have to say the snes version was most found for me, i liked that one as the best although it was very difficult, but did everything like the movie man the music i have to agree with every snes fan boy the music is such a breeze it Godly fine an for me on par with one of the ten best genesis games,This is why i bought a snes back in the days this is what gives me the warm feeling of searching channels and playing snes with super kick off and batman returns, street fighter which just was better on snes.How about one Big Batman Trivia once i like to see that and the comparisments beween all versions.

[Mr Smith]

Are we all playing the same game? I loathe Batman Returns and would rather have a root canal than enjure another second of wandering (slowly) around a miserable looking Gotham City. The graphics and music are so depressing that everytime I play this I slip into a state of despair in which I lament all the wrongs of the world.

If I remember correctly, the MS and GG versions of Batman Returns were totally different games from the Genesis-version. And they were better.
But (please forgive me) I liked the SNES Batman Returns best.:sorry:

[ary incorparated]

Yes I did,Hmm i think that one wasnt bad it had nice orchestrals what wrong with it?,Faily Beat em up only very difficult.The genesis one didnt do a better job certainly not,that one was Goddawful and looked like its been pooped out.yes i know the MS version and the gG version are different the gamegear version was more like the atari lynx version only better.

[David J.]

The GG version is based on the same engine as the GG Shinobi games. The SMS version is slightly different than that, but weaker.

Great games.

[ary incorparated]

Funny that the GG version of Batman and robin is ways faster the the snes game of that which i think sucked on snes Batman and robin.

[ary incorparated]

I have to agree with you 108stars.

[XMARLTONX]

I keep hearing how good the CD version is. I have the Genesis version and its ok (and I LOVE Batman). Is the CD verson really that much better?

[Mr Smith]

I believe the main difference is that you have a level in which you ride the Batmobile. I hope the sound quality is improved as well. I have never played the CD version game as I learnt my lesson from the Mega Drive version.

It´s the same game, just with new driving levels that were graphically good for the time.

[GeckoYamori]

The overall presentation was also improved. The menu was great.

Really? I don´t remember the sidescroll levels to be improved, but I may be wrong.

[Mr Smith]

They couldn't have got much worse.

[ary incorparated]

Yup.but luckely you can deside instead of running trought the entire game,man thats a chore and that kills you.The driving sequences are great.

[Dr. Robotnik]

I love Batman Returns. It's definitely my favourite Batman game on the Genesis.

It's got it's flaws, but I think it's a blast. I particularly love the boss battles, the plethora of weapons you get in your utility belt, and the dark moody graphics which capture the Gotham City of the movie.
