Nope, I stopped at the, um, the 5th ps2 iteration of it, haha. I mean, it's worse than Street Fighter, with all the spin-offs. Then again, when they finally made a sequel, it was like an adventure game...?!
Batman for the NES. LOVE this game, walljumping always impresses me of course. You know, this was the first game I owned for the NES -- and I was always kinda scared by the opening, that jarring "dun dunnnnnnnnnn" as you see Batman flash and then it fades to black and then the title comes back on. Playing it on emulator now, and um, it does that, too, on this one -- I seriously have thought for years there was something wrong with my copy. I wonder what the deal is with that. Very strange.
Anyway, the music is done by the guy who did the Journey to Silius music, which explains the superstrong melodies and very deep bass grooves. The graphics are incredible! So detailed! (also check out Batman: Return of the Joker -- while the gameplay isn't as good, the music and graphics are INCREDIBLE!)
Anyway, I'd never beaten this game before but I got damn close today, got to the last level at least. It's not that hard of a game, just kinda cheap at times (the jumping enemies with the devil horns in the sewer level).
Anyway, worth playing just for some of the precision walljumping -- just fun jumping around. Great atmosphere. Seeing the graphics on this make me really wonder what they could've done on the NES -- looking back on it, SO MANY NES games had undetailed backgrounds, and simple music that mainly just consisted of looping high pitched melodies. When you see this game and Rekka and Castlevania 3, with the high speed highly melodic complex musical arrangements... and the superdetailed dark backgrounds with beautiful artistry... and then playing LITTLE SAMSON recently, which is
so gameplay-intensive (dragons flying around, jumping from wall to wall while blasting shit, etc)... I mean, yeah. They really could have done some more awesome things with the system... I mean, I love the NES, but it seems like only Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, Sunsoft, and Netsume (Abadox, S.C.A.T, Shatterhand, Shadow of the Ninja) really took advantage of the hardware.
