Eh, *this* level. It's not terrible, but it's a huuuge step back after the spectacle of last level.Y'know, I think I'm just gonna use this space to comment on a couple things about the game.

Firstly... the music! Apparently it gets hate from some folks? Probably because they were comparing it with the TV show which is all-out orchestrated. Yeah, fat chance of getting that outta the Sega Genesis! Instead Jesper Kyd (who went on to score games like Assassin's Creed and Borderlands) went with a crazy techno-display! ...of sound! Maybe it isn't "Batman" but it sure is *something*! A good something, too. Might grate on your ears a little if it isn't your cup of tea, but the sound is full and crazy-complicated for the Sega Genesis which has never been a strong contender sound-chip-wise. (Mind you... this last level probably has the worst music in the game.)

Secondly, uh... the difficulty? Think "Arcade Game". That's what this is. Also if you really really REALLY struggle just remember "Bad, bad, luck" (B-A-Down B-A-Down -Left-Up-C). That'll help ease your pain.

And finally~ Thanks for watching! This is by far one of my most favorite Genesis games! It's a real blast to be able to share it with you folks in 60 frames per second!

This game is freaking awesome, guys. It's based off'a one of the BEST cartoons of all time (the art and story telling were really something for its time!), it packs in a lot of special effects that are amazing for a Genesis system, AND it's a killer beat'em'uppy run'n' gunner to boot! Yeah, it's a run and gun. Er, see, batman has like, a billion Batarangs and junks. So he needs to get rid of them. By throwing them in thugses faces. (You get the gist.)

I uploaded this once before, but now it's in GLORIOUS 60 fps! This is the way the game was meant to be seen and played! I'm going at it solo here, though. Batman works best alone anyway, right?

Some 'splanations on the game:

You start with a batarang, but can have your thrown weapon be one of three weapons associated with different colors: The batarang (orange), bolos (green), or shurikens (blue). All you need to know is that shurikens suck. Well... they are decent in a pinch 'cause they go up in power the quickest when you throw a charged shot. But generally you want to either stick with batarangs for spread, or bolos for raw power. Oh, and yeah. Charge shots. There's this little meter by your mug that fills up right quick if you don't fire. If you fire when full? Charge shot. It goes through most enemies and damages all behind them, too. In the long run, though, it's better to just continually throw stuff. Bats has plenty!

To upgrade your weapon you must collect the same color from little bat-shields that drop from lotsa things. If you get a different color, it just moves over to the other weapon at your current rank. Upgrading a weapon gives you things like extra batarangs or bigger bolos. Good stuff. You go DOWN a few levels if you lose a life, so, watch out!

Hearts are health, bat-heads are lives, and skulls are smart bombs. That's about it! Let's save this town!
