Who watched the movie, will find their way quickly in this PS2 version, very close to the original story, this version is in fact no doubt ajar. Brav numerous albeit fairly brief cutscenes have been incorporated into the game play to increase the atmospheric density. Whatever succeeds, no question. We slip naturally into the skin of Bruce Wayne, who is at the beginning rather than a bored billionaire heir an Heroe, but this is, after all, still. Strangely, however, that here obviously the gap was set because the teenage years of our hero stay unlike the movie left out. A thick mistake, in my view, because that was really quite interesting. Very, very bad. Only the training mode in the Himalayas is left where the young Bruce with different talents and their control is familiar: melee, throwing technique (Shuriken) and aircraft and climbing passages give us a to what awaits us in the near future to finally put the crooks in Gotham City the craft. In the aftermath stray or we fly through the dark alleys and over the rooftops of our hometown, looking for important instructions and clear any subjects out of the way, who do not want to act apparently law-abiding. Interesting and clear positive aspect is the fact that we are not stupid glide through the game sections and everything hew to Klump that looks like Rogue, but may fall back on an extensive and also very convenient inventory: flashlight, Dietrich, camera, objects to hack electronic equipment, and not least the Batarang to apply. The latter serves as a projectile to open further or at least inaccessible remote mechanisms, would not be without an advancement possible. Of course we observe the surroundings always exactly because without meaning are crates, switches and doors not quite sure, of course. For variety, also ensures the fact that so many victims auserkorenes quite excellently suited for a hearty interrogation to extort important information virtually. Are the spotted enemy also anxious, we appear this even as a daemon, so this then certainly do not constitute a serious hurdle.
Often we are in any case gradually go, so you Batman Begins partially actually be called a stealth adventure, the numerous different game elements can in any case the typical characteristics of an action adventure come to light. Overall, however, experienced gamblers feel unfortunately underutilized, because the radar is practically too helpful (it even recognizes who armed by the that are available in the immediate vicinity of enemies and who is unarmed) and the level to be structurally too simplistic, as that we would have to experience any unpleasant surprises. In addition, we recognize not only the exact position of the enemy, but also to their coloring, how dangerous they are for us. This may delighted newcomers, but put off the majority of the interested players rather, at the latest after the first or from me also the second hour of play is first Gähnattacken should be noticeable, I guess. This is mainly because most villains quickly realize who they're dealing with, there are surprisingly fast and can beat up no serious resistance. Why also always. Let something go from a safe distance via distance throwing or explosion to break and already give the opponents at small and awestruck. So if not too impetuous (without cover) dashes forward, but quietly behave patiently creeps forward and finally a careful crooks vorknöpft after another, will have no problems.
The us too little demanding tasks are therefore particularly unfortunate because Batman Begins basically provides a fun-filled gameplay. Stealth techniques, inventory, and not least the installation of two lightning quick sections that have to be overcome via Batmobile, actually make you want more. Unfortunately, the drive inserts are very simple knitted with our sleek set of wheels and provide hardly appreciable adrenalin kicks. The bounce and flight passages are also not a problem, hairy climbing therefore a foreign word, what we primarily owe our grappling hooks. Smoke grenades also ensure that we have the upper hand, it should be (exceptionally) even be tricky. Quick ran forward and knocked the opposite by punch and quasi finishing move. Briefly blocked in an emergency, landed Konterschlag and cleared with special blow out of the way: please neighbor. Camera work and control give hardly a nakedness and if they do, we suffer thus hardly worth mentioning damage, admittedly the handling of our honorable protagonist is not also failed particularly complex. Consequently, we are dealing with a straightforward gameplay, which is free of blunders, has an interesting feature, as well as anxiety varied elements, but ultimately just by going too smoothly. Motivating are then actually only the bonuses, their activation often it is based, how our enemies are frightened or how clean we plow through each level: but interviews, bonus costumes and the gallery of fear can not hide the fact that the motivation curve dangerously tilts downward quasi from the first third of this adventure. What the appointed Batman fans given the successful presentation but will probably be terrible no matter, I guess.
Clearly scores Batman Begins for the Playstation 2 most in terms of graphics. I do not want to conceal, although the occasional stuttering and even some animation looks a bit stiff, but this flaw is covered by very beautiful locales, the pleasantly dark atmosphere, pretty cinematics (albeit sometimes a little disjointed), very well modeled and especially detailed plotted figures and excellent light and shadow. We welcome the 16: 9 widescreen format, German screen texts and Pal-adjustment with little black bars on a 60-Hz mode, we have to do without though. The German synchronization with the original speakers is also a rich Plus. Who has a corresponding conditioning (for me it was Dolby 5.1) also is pleased with rich sound and crystal-clear sound effects, Dolby Pro Logic 2 makes it possible. Nevertheless, the soundscape can not quite keep up with the optics due to the excessively rapid wear factor in terms of melody and ambient noise, overall presentation, however, is undoubtedly succeeded. Weaknesses revealed Batman Begins ultimately not only in the lack of multiplayer and online support and to shallow requirements, but also in terms of narrative style of the story: who does not know the film original, often strapped not, what is at stake. From dramaturgical weaknesses is therefore not wrong, especially the (albeit pretty) cutscenes cause confusion. Weakness in any case of replay value and the fact that this action adventure is played out in the latest 10 hours (rather even much earlier), also does not provide for enthusiasm. Batman Begins thus ends up only in the upper middle, to be honest. Game Rating: 74%.
PLUS -> Gloomy locales claim available: stealth and fear Feature inclusive, diverse, dense atmosphere, pretty cinematics
MINUS -> Who does not know the film is left in terms of story pretty much alone, teenage years remains almost completely left out, not even online multiplayer feature, too easy, little stuttering, shockingly low replayability
